Changing thyroid treatment and Testogel
Hi, I wonder if anyone can advise and apologies in advance for the long story! I consulted a private Endocrinologist and started taking Liothyronine in early October 1 x 5mg tablet 3 times a day. I was also on 25mg levothyroxine, 4pumps of estrogel, 2 tablets of progesterone and 1/8 pack of testogel

Adenomyosis, should I have hysterectomy?
The short version is that I have adenomyosis. I've always had heavy periods with period pains that make my thighs numb and require prescription painkillers. At the age of 44 I had some symptoms of perimenopause and tried HRT. After two years I came off and that seems to have triggered a strong reaction

Should I have a hysterectomy?
The short version is that I have adenomyosis, but it is well enough managed on zoladex/Tibolone that I'm not having any significant pain and not bleeding enough that it is a problem, but I do have lots of more minor issues and my consultant thinks a hysterectomy would be better. I've got the op booked

subclinical - do I need levo?
I have been borderline Subclinical hypothyroidism for around 10 years. The GP put me on levothyroxine 2013, I took a low dose for a month or two but couldn’t tolerate it (palpitations), so I stopped. I was referred to Endo who did a check on my antibodies - was clear. Every year, my tsh was either just

Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as iron, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason. Now, bear in mind I have been on HRT (prescribed by them) for

Bad test news - questions to ask doctor
I knew my husband had AF following an EKG prior to surgery in 2012. He was a college athlete and only health issues have been hip and knee replacements. They tried to shock him out of AF but it was unsuccessful. He was put on Xarelto 20 mg. He has always been asymptomatic and I was naive since he

Regurgitation
Hello. So I posted a while ago about having ventricular bigeminy and that I was having a private echo done. A&E, my GP and my cardiologist said to not have it because my heart structure won't change in 7 months. I got my report back today and it turns I have pulmonary, mitral and tricuspid regurgitation

Does HRT cause weight gain?
Did you gain any weight when you talk HRT? I'm very concerned about this as I've read several reviews of people saying that they did and I haven't eaten disorder so that kind of thing terrifies me.

Mitral valve replacement - waiting for operation, the wait time and the do's and dont's advice please
Hi all, I had an ECG on 17th July which showed severe leaking of my Mitral valve. I had an angiogram on the 28th July which showed no blockages in my arteries. I have a meeting with my cardiologist on 15th August. To date my GP or the cardio team have not given me any advice on what I should be doing

If feel a bit daft asking this here - but a very high DEXA score?
I had an ankle scan years ago as part of a work "well woman clinic" and was told I was borderline oestopenia Then as I had my ovaries out because of cysts I had a private dexa scan as a baseline for making decisions about hrt etc My results seemed a bit 'off' but everyone says oh it's fine (it probably

Saw a specialist
I saw a specialist in endometriosis last week and it was eye opening. I had to pay for it or wait 12 months so I opted to go private. I spent over an hour with him and he was incredible. He explained everything and was very practical. I had a list of questions and he answered all of them. I already know

mechanical heart valve patients using marijuana!!!
Hello people! I have recently (8months back)had an aortic heart valve replacement with a mechanical st Jude valve and also the grafting was done. The reason I’m posting here is that I’m concerned and curious to know that whether Consuming marijuana (once a week) for recreational purposes can interfere

Predisilone and knee op
I have GCA and PMR and am having a knee replacement in October. Have been told to put up my Pred. several days before the operation. I am on 3- 31/2 mg a day. Do you think 5mg would be good

Newly Diagnosed Polymyalgia
I am a 57 year old female living on a smallholding in the Welsh hills. I have historically suffered on/off back pain that tended to travel between my lumber and thoracic regions, the last three years being more on than off. I finally have a diagnosis, of quite frankly, a condition/disease that I had
