Hello everyone, first of all I have some good news. After my GP chased up my referral for a TKR at the hospital I have now had a consultation appointment for 26th February. Hopefully I can at least get on the waiting list this time. I have been resting my knee for the past month and have had a little

Is the end in sight???
Hi everyone, this is my first post and reading others seems I am in the right place to discuss these issues with others who know exactly what I am going through. Others, even close friends, I think at times just dont get it... From what I read others too have had a long long road to diagnosis and treatment

what to try next?
Hi everyone :) I don't think I've posted before, probably because as awful as endo is, I've been lucky in a lot of ways. . I was diagnosed via laparoscopy in 2015, and I live in a city with an accredited endo centre, so my surgeon knew what he was doing. He found and excised a few spots in various places

Accuracy doubtful due to fusion hardware?
L5/S1 hardware new since last dexa scan. The tech did ask for an opinion from a co-worker as she felt the imaging was being distorted due to the hardware, but was told it would not impact the readings. take hrt, d3/k2 and am active! Any thoughts?

Advice on Blood results please?
Hi, I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid problems but have had numerous blood tests over the last 4 years because of severe menopause symptoms that have not responded to HRT. Would you be able to have a look and see what you think please? I have also included some of the vitamins tested.

Meningioma advice
Hi all, I started getting constant headaches about three years ago. After being ignored by my doctors, I paid for a private neurologist, and he did an MRI, told me nothing was found and suggested it was menopause. I've had three years of headaches, dizziness, vision issues and utter fatigue and losing

HRT and fatigue
I'm quite interested to see if this resonates with anyone else .Was diagnosed with RA 2018, and been on methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine ever since. Once the dose settled it's controlled the RA swelling. But the fatigue has been awful and constant. I assumed a result of the RA and side effects of

sertraline
Hi all, I’m been on Hrt about 18 months now but my anxiety is still extremely high, as it’s relentles. I’ve tried anti depressants flouxetine and Mirtazipine that haven’t really helped. I’m thinking of trying sertraline next, and was wondering if it has helped anyone with menapausal anxiety please.

Could heart pain be related to peri menopause?
Hi everyone. I’ve just recently stopped taking HRT patches as I felt nearly suicidal for two weeks every month. I have been having pains like a stitch in my heart on and off for weeks. Was wondering if any of you have ever experienced anything like this and if it was related to peri menopause

Malabsorption of drugs?
I am still awaiting a diagnosis of PA, but do suspect I do have it. My stomach pH level was recently 8.1, so very low stomach acid, which is why I am not absorbing/processing B12, iron and folate. I also did a test which showed I have very low diamine oxidase in my gut so have histamine intolerance.

T3 only and feeling a bit desperate
I have been taking T3 only for a handful of years now and for a couple of them on a LCHF diet I was happy enough. I lost weight, and felt good. In October 2020 I restarted HRT (I still had/have) hot flushes, but within 2 months I had started to gain weight and on balance I thought that I would rather

Have had a ‘good’ run from 30 to 7mg but been feeling rotten of late. It’s like my steroids, HRT snd Levothyroxine have all suddenly stopped working and my mood has plummeted. Suspect it might be adrenal glands but now have a PMR flare to deal with. I had a dose of cold couple of months ago and some
