Advice on latest thyroid test
I am seeing GP tomorrow regarding latest blood tests. Currently take 125mg levothyroxine. TSH 0.32 (-65%) 0.35-4.94 T4 15.3 (62.38%) 9-19.1 T3 4.3 (52.78%) 2.4-6.0 TSH was flagged as Abnormal so GP will mention that - it was 1.08 in Feb and 1.25 last October (same ranges) but no T4 or T3 tested.

I have been on HRT for several years, I take an oral tablets as the patches didnt suit me and I'm happy with them, but I've been wondering about adding testosterone gel. I've seen a study where Fibro patients used to the gel to good effect for fatigue etc. I know a number of ladies here use it and I

HRT Patches are they safe?
Hi I have had hot flushes and aching joints, arthritis etc for the last 10 years and hoping these would help. I am 62 had my last period 10 years ago and when I asked back then I was told I couldn't have HRT as it had risks, so I battled through. Now I have VA and I am hoping that when my BP is controlled

Seeking reassurance
I’m really struggling and hoping for some reassurance from anyone (my background and test results are in my Bio and first post). I’ve been on increased dose of 75mcg levothyroxine for two weeks. Symptoms improved the first two days but since then I’ve been feeling awful. In addition to my usual symptoms

Hrt and pegasys. Is it a good idea?

Review of REMS
Hi Everyone, I thought I'd post a review of the REMS scan I had done with Nick Birch from Osteoscan (UK) in case anyone is thinking about having this done and is unsure. I have only positive feedback to give and was impressed with the service I received. I felt it was value for money. My Mum had a scan

Urination and anxiety
Hi EveryoneI'm having real anxiety about my dialysis sessions. Warning TMI 😳😳 Recently I have been having issues, when I go to the toilet. I thought it was a UTI but nothing showed up in tests. My GP believes it's due to lack of oestrogen. I am now on Gina an OTC oestrogen medication since last Saturday

Where to go next? Please help!
Hi all Firstly, sorry for the length post. I’m desperate for advice… We’ve just had a failed cycle at ARGC. 3 blasts sent for PGT-A testing, all come back abnormal. The follow-up consultation was extremely thorough. We’ve had karyotype tests (normal), hysteroscopy (normal), at beginning of cycle: FSH

I started Kliovance a couple of weeks ago. I've been menopausal for 8.5 years and finally caved in to taking HRT as I was fed up with brain fog coming and going.My head is a little clearer but I'm easily upset and grumpy. I'm also repulsed by sex (before taking the tablets I just couldn't be bothered

Remedy that works for me
