Down reg carpal tunnel
Just starting my 1st cycle on the nhs and down regulating with prostap which I had injected on the 6th. I've had some mild CTS in the past but since the injection I've found it has flared up and is worse than I've ever had it before. I have heard that CTS can be linked to hormone changes, particularly

Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

HRT, low white blood cell count & NDT
I have been having appointments with my GP to try and get an HRT prescription. She wanted a blood test doing first - I have been taking NDT for about 8 years (doing really well on it) and basically my GP didn't understand it, stopped calling me in for blood tests and I haven't been for years. The blood

significant free fluid in pouch of douglas
Hello I have been suffering with terrible pain in my right side lower groin. I described to the Gap that it feels like I am carrying something or a pressure in lower back and at times causes my right thigh to actually go numb. I went to the GP and was referred for an ultrasound for a hernia. No hernia

T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
Hello lovely people, i hope everyone is managing to catch up on the long overdue sun ;) Sadly, my gynaecologist has found an ovarian tumour which needs to be removed and biopsied. Recovery from this will take between 6-8 weeks. I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine

Is what I'm experiencing Pelvic Pain? Plus Spritz for Bits?
I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises. I found a women's health physio who tells me my pelvic floor measures 5/5 on the modified Oxford scale so

Blood test confusion
Hi there, I’ve never been formally diagnosed with endometriosis but was told by my GP at 14 that I likely had it, but there was no point in confirming as the procedure to do so was evasive, there’s no treatment except the pill, and it would all sort itself out once I got pregnant. Symptoms were long

Perculiar symptom (earache)
Hi all, This is a really random symptom I have and I am convinced it's linked to high estrogen levels or hormones. Every month I will get an earache with sinus pain across my cheek prior to my period. Ive noticed it for a number of years and only recently put 2 and 2 together, but I also haven't asked

Itcing and cramp in menopause
I'm 62, a late comer to the menopause. No hit flushes as such, just overall hotness. When estrogen starts to diminish, does it do it bit by bit? I seem to be ok for a while, then another symptom kicks in. Atm I have itchy arms and sore joints. It's a bit debilitating. Also cramp has returned in

How many Estrogen Patches to use?
Here's a plot of the Estradiol serum concentration (pg/mL) as a function of total dose (micrograms) of estrogen patches over 1 week. The plot tells the number of patches and how often to change them. The three data points fall nicely on a straight line, which makes good sense. The PATCH study used

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

Estrogen has been used for 85 years.
I made this chart which shows the historical timeline of Estrogen use for treating prostate cancer. Estrogen has been used for about 85 years, with various forms of delivery. With the exception of high-dose oral estrogen (DES) causing blood clots from 1945 to 1970, the other forms of estrogen (e.g.

Unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy anxiety?
I have surgery next week and I’m terrified. They say they can ‘probably’ do it laparoscopically, but this really isn’t reassuring. The thought of the scars, people going inside me, being so vulnerable to others, the pain, the hospital itself, having people feel sorry for me, it’s all making me sick and

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
