HRT anyone?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with Lupus last June. Luckily my symptoms are mild - and my rhumatologist agreed that i didn't need to start hydroxyholorquine if I didn't want to. I'm definitely peri-menopausal and a lot of "symptoms" of lupus overlap with perimenopause and my rhumatologist agreed it's

strange thyroid blood results
my wife is subclinical Hypo, been on 1 grain of Thyroid-S for the past couple of years. Started HRT in Aug 2023, blood test done in Dec, numbers had gone down, increase to 2 grain. Last bloodwork done Mar 2024. Numbers gone down again but TSH is now suppressed. I’m completely confused. Any thoughts

microvascular angina result/reading query
Hi all ! I had an angiogram that looked at Micro Vascular issues and had an IMR reading (index of microcirculatory resistance IMR) of 30 - which means a diagnosis of Micro Vascular Angina.. But does anyone know what this means? Is it good or bad? Barely on the charts or well along? I’ve tried googling

HRT patches and Levothyroxine
hi everyone I am on 75mg of Levothyroxine and have also been taking Sertraline. This pushed my TSH levels open. Since stopping the Sertraline my levels have dropped but now I’m getting more hot flushes and aching joints and restless legs. My doctor had suggested HRT patches but I’m worried that these

Advice on medications
I have recently been prescribed Atorvastatin, a statin to help lower my chloresterol. I am on a slimming world diet which I have been on for a few years and lost a lot of weight. I mentioned this to my doctor and she couldn't understand why my chloresterol has gone higher. Neither do I. So she has put

PSA reduction after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a revised plot of PSA reduction due to castration from Estrogen Patch therapy. The previous version had the wrong time scale. That has been corrected in this version. The total time is 3 months, after which the PSA and testosterone both flatten out versus time. I've also added the reference

PSA drop with decreasing Testosterone after Estrogen Patch Therapy
Here's a plot that I made from data taken from the PATCH estrogen patch therapy study. It plots the % reduction in PSA from baseline (100%) at time = 0 as a function of testosterone levels over a period of 4 weeks. As you know, estrogen effectively castrates men, causing a drop in testosterone over

day 12 FET scan - 12cm dominant follicle
Hi all, hope you’re keeping well. I’ve just had my day 12 scan - I’m on meds prepping for a frozen transfer next week. The oestrogen I’m on is meant to quieten my ovaries. On the scan today, one ovary was quiet, but there was one follicle on the other ovary measuring 12mm. The nurse wants to check with
