Experiences with

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

I’ve been experiencing tingling feet that feels like a small charge of electricity. It started a week ago. I was on T4 150 mg and T3 20mg but reduced the T3 to 5mg 3 months ago. I was finding the T3 increased my appetite too much and felt hungry all the time! Since the reduction I feel a little more

I’ve been having Prostap since January which I feel has been helping quite a lot with my pain, but with my last injection a few weeks ago I was put on HRT tibolone tablets too at the same time and now I’m feeling like rubbish. Been having a bad flare up the last few days and was lightly bleeding last

Hi All So I started HRT just over a week ago as addback therapy while I am on Decapeptyl injections. I was experiencing hot flushes and low mood which have improved but over the last 24/48 hours my endo pains are back with a vengeance and have started a period like bleed. I had been pain free since

I had a brilliant appointment this morning and f2f too .. can’t beat a f2f. I presented my scroll 📜 of ailments . Confirmation of fibromyalgia really explained things well. Some symptoms need further exploration especially my nerves in my feet and other things so will see a neurologist. Physio booked

I am writing this on behalf of my wife. She has had a pain in the upper inner right quadrant of the breast for the last 2 years. When this first came up she had an appointment at our local hospital and received a bilateral mammogram and all was normal. There was no focal lesion seen. The radiologist

Hi. Has anyone had any arrhythmias which feel like missed heart beats?? Sometimes I am aware of them and sometimes not . My heart can beat 2 or 3 times and miss a beat. This can happen in sequence or can beat 10 or 20 times and miss one. Then it can be normal for hours without me feeling it or being

Hi, Thinking about surgery, the consultant explained to me that my options might range from removing the endo lesions and restoring of anatomy position, to total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries). I still need an MRI scan to

Hi , I’ve constantly got a burning in the nether regions, soothed somewhat, by sitting in a shallow bath of baking soda . I hate having baths too , preferring a quick daily shower . I’ve had this since I started PMR , I’ve had all the urology tests , countless , ridiculous amounts of antibiotics, HRT

It’s taken me about two years of trial and error, making mistakes and breakthroughs, successes and fails to get to where I am now, which is well, thriving sometimes on T3 only. However, I’m finding I have massive cyclical swings in how I feel. I’ve used progesterone cream for a while now to address

Hi everyone! I’ve (finally!) been offered a different treatment for my endometriosis! They won’t do another lap because I had one 4 years ago and they said there’s a risk of scarring and making it worse (please let me know if that’s true!). They have offered me Zoladex and tibolone and gave me a leaflet

Hi I am on prednisolone for PMR. I have also been on HRT for several years. I recently made the decision to reduce and come off HRT but now I am not so sure as steroids can cause osteoporosis but HRT can maintain bone health. I can’t find any research or robust articles on the pros and cons of staying

Hi. Overactive for a few years then radioactive treatment causes me to go under active for the last 18 years. Menopause meant I was fitted with a more a coil 8 months ago to help symptoms and now trying HRT estradiol gel for three months so far. Huge weight gain but could also be because of poor diet

Hello, Is anyone here using Sandrena gel? I switched last week from Zumenon ( pill) to Sandrena (gel). I've been having headaches since then. I am also on Utrogestan 100 I started HRT last June following the advice of a health practitioner, even though my period stopped 12 years ago. Progesterone is

Hi, I'm thinking about starting Zoladex to manage my endometriosis pain but I'm worried about the side effects such as depression and anxiety. I'm 46 and have severe endo so am close to menopause. I've been told that taking HRT alongside Zoladex reduces some side effects. I'm wondering if anyone has

Hi everyone,i'm hoping that someone on here would be able to point me in the right direction,i don't know where to start,but i will give some of my medical history. Sorry,it will probably be more like a short novel! My problems started in 2013. Diagnosed with Costochondritis,which started off as tenderness

Quite a niche one! Do you feel that your symptoms (pain, inflammation, fatigue) are affected by your cycle? I'm experiencing a little more pain and stiffness than I have of late and am trying to decide whether it's fluctuating hormone levels or the after effects of my very gentle day at work on Thursday

I have pcos and need some progesterone to keep my periods at bay. I’ve always had the implant and loved then then was advised to change as my periods were really heavy and out of control so tried the coil but had a traumatic hospitalisation with my body rejecting it and going into cervical shock. An
