Severe palputations...explanation?
Hi. I am 56 years old with a history of SVT, low blood pressure, and night time panic attacks causing a very fast heart beat. I have been on a low dose of bisoprolol for several years now which has largely managed my symptoms. However after getting severe anxiety upon menopause, I started HRT and Sertraline

Menopaused. Would starting HRT mean reducing NDT? Has anyone experience of this please?
Hi Everyone, Still searching to be less housebound and energised. It's another thing to try before I throw in the towel. Any thoughts and experiences would be greatly appreciated ,as my TSH continues to decline out of range and T4 andT3 both low in NHS range. every best wish , G

What is the difference between pre-TT Graves' and post-TT Graves?
Hi all, thank you again for all the helpful comments on my last post. I'm really glad to be a part of this community - I only wish I'd known about it a little over 5 years ago, but perhaps that's a post for another day. I wanted to ask if anyone had any insight on what happens to the body when one's

Thyroid Nodules - Advice Please 🙏
I'm new here and it's my first time posting. It was noticed I had a large nodule on my thyroid while having a CT scan for an unrelated issue 5 weeks ago. I can feel a large lump on the right hand side of my neck which is also visible and an ultrasound scan has since confirmed there are several nodules

Hot flushes
Hello I’m on week 4 of daily pred (20mg), 30mg lanzaprozole, 70mg alendronic acid (weekly not daily). I’ve suddenly started having horrendous hot flushes - mainly at night but yesterday evening had a horrible sweaty and ill feeling 30 mins. Very reminiscent of my early menopause days pre HRT. I have

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'

Eligard
My PSA keep rising. Today, PSA went up to 2.25.1 from 1.1 (March). Doctor told me that he never had a patient Eligard does not work at all at the beginning. He asked me to go thru with PSMA scan and start to take Xtandi. He said there is a possibility I may also go thru with a testicle removal surgery

Started HRT - Increased need to urinate - will this get better?
Hello Ladies I have just started HRT and I have some unpleasant side effects. I now seem to need the loo every 20min. It’s an urge and I don't feel I can empty my bladder. It’s affecting my life as I struggle to take journeys on the train or in the car. Is this normal? Will this get better? Thank

High Testosterone-panicking
Had my bloods tested to see how my testosterone levels are after starting testosterone gel (also on Estrogel and Utrogestan) and apparently my levels are 4.5, 3 times what they should be. GP plans to write to the consultant to see how we should go forward but to be honest I'm panicking I've done myself

Fine tuning dose.
Hi all, I've been feeling a bit 'meh' recently and after a recent blood test I'm wondering if I'm [i]slightly [/i]overmedicated[i]. [/i] Could also be HRT needs to settle. I can't decide so thought I'd ask the hive mind. :) 4th Nov - started HRT; 200mcg progesterone & 50mcg oestrogen. 26th Feb: 200

Finally got a diagnosis of Endometriosis today
I've been on such a journey with my pelvic pain. I'm 50 and I had a hysterectomy 4 months ago for fibroids. A laparoscopy ruled out Endo last year. I was pain free for the first time in months. I started hrt and my original pains 6 weeks ago came back with a vengeance just like they did last year when
