Still struggling ...
Hi All. I am asking or help and advice again. I have been titrating Levo dose up since last September having figured out I have central hypothyroidism, and managed to explain this to my endo. I started on 25mcg and worked my way up. Endo says to ignore TSH and target FT4 to the top of the range. My results

Constantly bleeding / zoladex
I'm coming to to my 3rd shot of zoladex next week but for the last 5 weeks I've had 3 periods and all have been a week long. I had 5 days respite between 2 and my current period. I'm currently on day 7 and is not letting up, so don't know how much longer this 3rd will go on for. They aren't light,

Hi, I have a diagnosis of an autoimmune thyroid condition. Went privately as NHS tests all within range on tests. Waiting on further bloods, which has been difficult to get done, so I can have follow up appointment with private GP for thyroid treatment. Appointment in July. In the interim I did see NHS

Tibolone HRT offered for pain relief of Pudendal Nueralgia alongside 3 injections of Zoladex into the abdominal wall?
Hi everyone, I had a gynecologist offer me Tibolone HRT tablets alongside 3 injections of Zoladex into the abdominal wall 4x weekly. Looking these medications up I've seen a ton of side effects like most meds. The gynaecologist agreed I had normal hormones and no gyno problems or endometriosis but being

Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range? My joints in my spine, and hips, shoulder, especially. They click and crunch since I dipped into serious neuro symptoms when b12 likely tanked last September. I also had genitourinary

Affect of Alendronic acid if needing dental work?
This aspect bothers me as well as the implications of taking Alendronic acid. At age 81 after taking AA for about 18 months, I stopped it after I was prescribed HRT patches for another problem . Whilst HRT protects bones to a certain extent , I believe it doesn't increase bone density as does AA.

Weird heat rush all over body?
Sorry for the weird question and if it seems a little out of place. I am going to get my TS levels tested on Monday to see if I have any sort of thyroid problem and I wanted to ask if anyone had these feelings that I have been having and if it may have to do with the thyroid? I have been suspecting

HRT related
Hello đˇ Please may I ask how much HRT are ladies on? Last night I accidentally left my old Evorel patch on (1 put a new one on every 3.5 days instead of the 3 day /4 day combo) and put on the new one. I realised it this morning and took the old one off. I guess it was still giving me oestrogen because

Thyroid Function tests still vary between manufacturers
I've sent this paper to Lyn at TUK as it's behind a paywall. It shows how little progress has been made on harmonising test results between manufacturers' products. You would think that if numerical tests are to be used, the medical profession would insist on equivalent results wherever obtained from
