Some advice please
Hi, I'm in surgical menopause and have not felt 'well' for a number of years now. I won't bore you with the backstory of my trials and tribulations with HRT, all in the pursuit of feeling well enough to fully function. I've questioned Thyroid for some time, I had tests last September and posted them

Hi all It’s been a while since I posted on here. But I have a question regarding sleep. I have ET, Jak2, had it 7 years, and at the moment take aspirin and hydroxy. Had my telephone consultation yesterday and was pleased to hear my platelets are the lowest they’ve ever been at 355. Even though I

HRT question
Hello, I've been on oestrogen and progesterone HRT since last summer and it's making me feel a great deal better generally. But I've found that during the two weeks of the cycle where I'm not on the progesterone, I get very anxious. Is there any way of taking the progesterone all month? I'm on two progesterone

When does it go?!
Hey everyone. Would really love some positive replies 🤞 My story so far…. I had hip replacement in Feb 22…by Oct 22 I could not get out of bed….had to roll off onto the floor and loosen those muscles for around an hour or so. Tired all the time, sore in the glutes, hip area, neck and shoulders

Zoladex - pre-fibroid removal

length of zoladex and tobelone- side effects felt?
I have been having zoladex injections since November once a month. They advised HRT in Jan due to me experiencing headaches/hot flushes and brain fog (which at the time was the worst) . Since then the mood changes have been a lot to deal with feeling unhappy and down. My sleep pattern is interrupted

Stopping meds before operation. 😏
Hi Peeps, I hope this UK sunshine has reached you over the last few days and that you are as well as you can be today. I have been told to stop my meds because I have to have a lumpectomy on 8th May 🙄 I had to stop my Tocilizumab and Sulfasalazine 4 weeks before and my Metoject 2 weeks before. I also

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

Painful legs (burning sensation behind both knees)
Hi all Well, I’m hoping someone can provide a view on what is happening to me now! For the last couple of months I have had severe pain in the legs which has now started to become a burn behind my knees. It doesn’t improve or worsen on exercise and is particularly painful laying in bed. I used to

Mirena Coil Fatigue
Hi all, just looking for some advice or if you have had similar experience. I got diagnosed with acute stage 5 endometriosis in January, and the gynocologist fitted me with the mirena coil. I was told if this did t work I’d have to start HRT for 6-12 months, as you can imagine this was a lot to take

night sweats - without sweating, any solutions?
hi everyone, I had to come off HRT in December. It hasn’t been as bad as I thought. Except…I get the most awful hot episodes through the night. They wake me up as I feel I’m being cooked, no sweating though. I’m in the cycle of throwing covers off then waking again freezing, and like many of us my normal

Insufficiency Fracture - likely cause - Prednisilone
I saw an orthopaedic Fracture surgeon last week following an MRI on my right knee to investigate knee pain. She reported a small meniscus tear and a small piece of detached cartilage. However she also reported an Insufficiency Fracture in the femur which she thinks may have been caused by Prednisolone
