Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

After some advice
I'm 57 yo post menopausal woman with hypermobility and POTS (POTS only diagnosed in 40's after much pushing with medical profession). I take HRT and meds for POTS. I'm suffering with a number of tendonitis issues and wonder if anyone has any advice about this? At the moment it's achilles tendonitis

Hi, I’ve been told I need to have a valve replacement and can’t make my mind up between a mechanical valve and Ross procedure. I’m 46 so if I have the Ross procedure I’ll need to get another replacement in 20 years or so. The mechanical valve looks like it will make my diet complicated , I need to reduce

Help! cascade of hormonal events after Covid booster! Not sure where to turn next…
Hi everyone I started having menopausal symptoms when I was 47. As I had the merino coil I was just given a 50mg oestrogen patch which worked wonders and got rid of the hot sweats. All was running smoothly until about a year later when I started getting hot flashes and itchy skin. Went up to 75 patch

HRT and Lupus
I’m 44 and have just been diagnosed with lupus and sjogrens in the last couple of months- there’s an awful lot to Learn. My GP thought my joint pain and anxiety was perimenopause related, and I was prescribed Evorel patches but after a month the pain was increasing rather than decreasing and autoimmune

lactose intolerance and vaginal oestrogen containing lactose monohydrate 🤷🏽♀️
hi there, Sorry not strictly thyroid related but I trust you symptom sharing lot so I hope you don’t mind. Having sorted my thyroid replacement I can now see I have some perimenopausal symptoms. The Menopause specialist at GP is reluctant to prescribe Lenzetto & Urtogestan until I have the all clear

HRT question. Sorry, totally off topic but I need an answer quickly!
Oh cripes! I started HRT 8 days ago. (Estrogen patches and utrogestan). I'm on cycle day 21 and I've started my period this evening. What do I do now?! Do I carry on taking utrogestan until I've completed 2 weeks?

Progesterone withdrawal
I got a BFN yesterday after a medicated FET so have now stopped all medication. I’m feeling a bit weird, headachy etc. has anyone else experienced withdrawals after suddenly stopping progesterone and oestrogen? I was on two Lubion shots, two crinone gels and five progynova tablets a day.
