perimenopause please help
Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm nearly 42 and pretty convinced I'm perimenopausal. Can this be detected by having a blood test? My g.p said they just go by symptoms. Has anyone around my age group been prescribed hrt?

Problems with podiatry insoles?
Hi All, a few weeks ago I managed to get podiatrist appointment due to the problems with my left foot (painful metatarsals, collapsed arch and toes spreading, big toe joint fused). I was really grateful to have a thorough examination and come away with some insoles which I really hoped would help. I

Wrist Fusion
Hello Everybody I have had RA for over twenty years now, although initially it seemed to be held in control with the use of DMARDS, including Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide and Etanercept, all of these had to be discontinued because of side effects i.e, infections and low platelets/thrombocytopenia

Bio-Identical Estrogen Safety
I miss my estrogen. I have osteopenia and I'm post menopausal. At the age of 64, is it safe for me to take bio-identical hormones for my bones? I have been without synthetic HRT for about two years and my bones are falling apart. Are there any studies on bio-identical HRT?

New Doctor/central hypo
Hello everyone! I haven't posted my own stuff for a while now. What do you all think of this situation: The new doctor who took over the practice ordered the tests last week. At our first in person appointment I explained to her the my hypothyroidism is not because my thyroid but my pituitary.

Best HRT options after total hysterectomy
Hi, hope you’re all having a good day 🤗 After having a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed, I’ve been on Tibalone for a few years now, it seemed to be working, I wasn’t having too many menopause symptoms, but for the last 6 months it has got so bad, I have no energy, low mood, really bad brain fog

feeling weird just started levo
I started 50 mcg levothyroxine 3 days ago, felt very energetic within an hour of taking it, bit hyper but manageable and felt so positive. Took advice from this forum to split the dose and that helped but last night I wasn’t able to sleep, tense muscles sensation of palpitations and just couldn’t drop

hi there I’m new to this having only been diagnosed with PMR a month ago and am on 20 mg pred and omeprozole and GP has just prescribed AA which I am due to pick up today. Inflammatory markers are down from first bloods a month ago but symptoms are only slightly better so GP is keeping me at 20mg daily

RLS Meds & Post-Surgical complications
I had a knee replacement a year ago. It went well, except my doctor took me off my Tramadol, 100 mg/3 per day, while keeping me on my 100 mg, 3x/day Pregabalin—it works well together. Instead he had me on 5 mg of Oxycodone every 4 hours. He thought the Oxycodone would an effective substitute for the

Why does improvement of symptoms seem to matter so little when treating hypothyroidism?
Quite a wordy title (and a lengthy post - sorry!), but it's something that has been bothering me ever since I passed the first 6 months post-TT, and even more so now, following @waveylines' post from earlier this week concerning the NHS' newly reiterated views on NDT (thank you for making such an informative
