Help with blood test results please
Have recently had an Ultimate blood test through Medichecks and need some help deciphering what I need. I’ve managed to work out that I need to supplement Vit D and B12 but am struggling with the iron panel & thyroid results. It was done through Eurofins County Pathology Iron - 21.5 umol/L - (5.8

Levothyroxine & Midodrine
hello, I wonder if anyone has any experience taking levothyroxine & midodrine at the same time. I was started on midodrine 3-4 weeks ago and have just increased to 5mg 3x a day as these have a short half life and I have to take my last one 2-3pm to prevent impact to my sleep, it has been tight to fit

T3 "eating" up my HRT hormones? Hypo
I am hypo and have been taking T3 only for a couple of weeks after previously taking nothing (I cannot get on with levo, and a T3 only regime worked brilliantly for me 4 years ago but this was before I hit menopause). I am self medicating as I cannot afford a specialist. I use a HRT patch and my menopausal

post menopausal 53 and lost
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with early menopause years when I was c.45 & took hrt until I got an under active thyroid, c4 years ago.. I’ve noticed some vaginal atrophy, which bothers me, although I’m currently single, I hope I won’t always be. Is this just something I have to accept? The journey

surgery and Ibrance
Morning all, , I was wondering if anyone has had knee replacement and had to go off Ibrance. I had to stop taking it 4 weeks before, and 6 weeks after surgery.

Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

A paper on the approach to optimization of hypothyroid therapy including combination therapy.
This new paper (downloadable) examines the problem of trying to optimally prescribe thyroid hormones for hypothyroidism. It's very technical, but the conclusions may be of interest. It uses a modelling system to try to gain an insight into good prescribing. Front. Endocrinol., 24 June 2022 https:

Hot sweats - solution
Following on from my previous post applauding my marvellous Rheumy… She got me an appointment with an Endocrinologist this week, and he came up with an amazing solution for my hot sweats! (Sarcasm alert) Background: My GP stopped my HRT in 2019 when I was diagnosed with GCA and absolutely refuses

Wrong diagnosis?
Hi, Two weeks ago my GP called to do an unscheduled HRT annual review. I’m 50, not on other meds and quite fit. She said feeling sluggish was normal for folk with Hyperthyroidism, I nearly fell over in shock! Apparently I’ve had hyperthyroidism since 2014 which was diagnosed by 5 annual tests of undetected

hypothyroid following partial thyroidectomy. Question about HRT and optimum T4 levels.
Dear forum, I am 58. 3 months ago while having parathyroid adenoma removed, I also had partial thyroidectomy. This was because thyroid nodule was discovered during scans looking for the adenoma. The nodule was examined and contained micropapliiary carcinoma. No further treatment needed for that thankfully
