I need a break
Hi!, It's been a while. Anyway, here it is. First of all, I love my little sister. I always have and always have, but I need a break from her. There I said it. That was hard for me. Anyway, I share an apartment with her and her 2 daughters. We are mostly fine, but sometimes I feel like the "other

Thyroid, HRT
2 weeks ago I rang my GP in desperation, I told him I can't go on feeling like this, I asked to try HRT again, he asked what levo I was on was it 100mg, I said no I had increased it, he said he could stop my medication if I was increasing it without him saying I could.He wanted another blood test and

Should I be asking for an increase in Levo?
I have an appt with my endo on Thursday to discuss my latest results and those from last August and April when I was taking different amounts of levo. I always follow the suggested procedure of stopping Vit B complex a week before, early blood test and not taking levo for 24 hours. My most recent

Zoladex experience
Just wanted to hear other people's experiences on Zoladex if possible because I don't know if my symptoms are all in my head or I'm just being made to feel that way by the consultant. Who's only advice every time I go for a review every couple of months day just keep going with it a little bit longer

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

how often should you have a Dexa scan ?
I had one when I was first diagnosed with PMR about 6 years ago. Since then I have tapered down the pred but couldn’t get below 2 mgs until … I restarted HRT. I have now managed to taper to zero for the last 2 weeks and fingers crossed, I’m hoping that’s it ! Mindful it could always creep back of course

My story won't apply to everyone, of course, but you may find a nugget worth considering. I've had mild RLS intermittently for forty years until it recently worsened. I'd always managed it with weighted heat, L-Tryptophan, magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, and if necessary, a little pacing. At age 36,

I hearken back to my post a few months ago https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/149418197/high-morning-cortisol-and-t3 where I was struggling (and still am) to find a solution to the severe waking anxiety I have had to tolerate for years now. As I feel my adrenals are still playing a big part

Hello everyone. Firstly I want to say a big thanks to everyone that helped me understand my mum's results and situation. I also got my wires crossed and gave some wrong info. My mum did have a test before they prescribed 25mg, TSH 8.58. They said as she was 'borderline' they would try levo before considering

Getting to the root of my anxiety
I am 57 and I was considered in menopause at 52 years old, however I went through perimenopause for approximately 5-7 years prior. I am in therapy, but it does not seem to be helping. Unfortunately I cannot take any Hormone Replacement Therapy because I had one positive result for a gene that increases

Progesterone post medicated FET
I'd like to ask all the ladies who conceived after a HRT/medicated FET, how much progesterone pessaries were you on? I'm on 4 x 200mg vaginal capsules so 800mg/day. Wonder if anyone is/was on a lower dosage. Just thinking about reducing to 3 x /day (600mg) having seen the patients' leaflet for Utrogestan

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Could my son have Ehlers-Danlos? Who to ask about diagnosis?
Hi everyone, I've joined the group today as I'm not sure if my son has hypermobile EDS and I'm not sure where to turn and what to do next. He has lots of niggly health issues which I'm starting to think might be EDS (or I could be adding 2+2=5). Since he was about 6 months old he has suffered horrendously

Is this thyroid?
hi there, I have been struggling with what I thought was Peri menopause/menopause symptoms for a while (dizzy spells, headaches, brain fog, dry eyes, fatigue etc) Last year these symptoms got progressively worse with pain under left arm in lymph node and weakness to the point I felt like collapsing

worst fears seem to be coming true.
Dear friends, I posted on here in March 2021 asking your advice as to whether I should even start on Teriparatide worrying about rebound fractures afterwards because I was told there was no other drug that I could safely take. The 2 years on Teriparatide ( Forsteo) passed far too quickly but interrupted
