Different Treatment Advice from Endocrinologist and Rheumatologist
Hello, I'm in my thirties and have osteoporosis. Earlier this year I saw an endocrinologist who advised I start HRT (my hormone levels are fine) and I have just seen a rheumatologist who advised I take alendronate. Neither can advise on the other. I wondered whether people had experience with either

New resource for osteoporosis information
I've posted before about my good results from the OsteoStrong program. Here is another resource that I have found very helpful for information on HRT and osteoporosis supplements. Dr. Doug Lucas also has a YouTube channel. It might be helpful for someone in this community. https://www.optimalbonehealth.com

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

Hrt yes or no
Hello....before my iron infusion a random gp suggested I take hrt ????I haven't presented with menopausal symptoms and still have regular cycles . I'm aware SOME women have rls during this transition but I'm also aware HRT is a stimulant and can cause a spike . As we already struggle surely hrt will

Requip and Collagen
I have been taking Requip for several years and started taking Collagen last year as I had come off HRTand my hair and nails were in a terrible condition. I seem to remember seeing that taking both was not advised, is that correct? I have gone back on HRT but it has not made any difference.

Hormone Replacement for Surgical Menopause
Hi dear ladies, have any of you used HRT to cope with the horrors of surgical menopause resulting from OC treatment, if that diagnosis happened to you prior to natural menopause? I find that there’s no discussion or warning about the effects of surgical menopause prior to treatment and that no one seems

HRT question
Sorry, I know it's technically off-topic but I also know there is a lot of knowledge on this board! I've been prescribed HRT; estrogen patches & progesterone tablets. When should I start wearing the patches? I'm on day 13 but cycles are somewhat irregular...

Knee Pain and trouble walking after four years
I had a knee replacement four years ago and although it was never great it was such an improvement I just went with it. The surgeon said there was not much left for him to work with after years of abuse !!! Four years on though and I am having more and more issues. I cannot walk up and down stairs

HRT / zolodex / hormone treatment help
Hi all. I posted recently about my concerns regarding zolodex etc. I think my only next steps is a complete hysterectomy due to my issues. HOWEVER. That being said, everyone seems to manage better withHRT and I'm looking to speak with people who have never been able to tolerate any form of hormone treatment

Does HRT estrogen patch and progesterone pill cause weight gain?
So now my big question is does HRT cause weight gain? See now my doctor changed her mind and she is going to let me do the estrogen patch and take the progesterone pill. But I am terrified because I've never been on hormone replacement therapy and I am a person who has had anorexia for over 25 years

Study to help patients manage their underactive thyroid
Just saw this and thought both that it is interesting it is being done. And, secondly, wondered if any would be willing to take part. I've scan read the information about the study and it appears that there is no geographical limit (please reply to let me know if I am wrong!) - just that you need to
