My 13 year old daughter suffers from pain towards the end of her periods. Unbearable and I can only describe it as like watching someone in labour. The pain is beyond what she can manage and leaves her physically and mentally done in. GP has been trying her on various contraceptive pills. Since starting

I spoke to my GP and she’s now given me Ibandronic Acid 150mg per month. I’m afraid to start it but I will this weekend. If that doesn’t work she’s going to refer me for infusions. So I’m keeping my fingers crossed that something agrees me.

Hi everyone, I’ve been taking my thyroxine (100/125), with all my morning meds + tiny bit of food, followed by breakfast 60-90 minutes later for 10 years and my endo says this is fine. I can’t say I’ve ever felt the thyroxine’s made any difference, and lately other major health problems have begun
