Slow, slow, quick quick slow -to taper or not?
I've forgotten the name of the tapering method. It's come to me in an hour or so I am sure. Canada was amazing and exhausting, we've been back since the 31st May and are still recovering. Mark was diagnosed with OA in his knees in March. Despite steroid injections before we left, his knees did not

Options?
Endometriosis formally diagnosed via laparoscopy 2023, however had no effect and still in chronic pain. Due to other medical issues can’t go on any contraceptives and HRT. Tried the Decapaptyl (GNRH) injections but bleed 24/7 with them?! Endo BGSE specialist has said there are no other options as hysterectomy

Plan your health ahead when under DMT
Just sharing the need to plan healthcare needs (surgery, dental work, etc...) ahead once you get on a DMT. Don't delay any procedure... I'm on Ocrevus. I had to delay the treatment to 10 months (instead of the typical 6 months) to get my hip replacement surgery. The oral surgeon is asking the same

HRT and waiting for scans
Earlier this year in March, I saw my GP to ask about HRT, so blood works were done and anomalies found so went for an ultrasound and found to have Fatty liver and hepatic hemangioma. I'm now waiting for a fibroscsn in December and I'm worried and scared. To help myself I've stopped alcohol completely

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range

Testosterone and SHBG puzzle ...
Hello all, I am on HRT including testosterone replacement: what do you think of these results? High SHBG, high testosterone but sub-optimal Free Androgen Index, I was told by a menopause doctor that the index should be around 2.5 to be optimal and that is the most important indicator. I was put on a

Little Laughter 😂
Good Morning ☀️ Beautiful day here today. I am with my brother up to the surgical center and he is having his nerves in his left knee frozen. He has this knee replacement twice last time a year ago. Has had pain since so this is the next step 🙏. Just received letter denying my prescription for migraines

cost of Forteo, Tymlos, Evenity, Prolia in USA
after being on HRT for a year my numbers have worsened and I now have osteoporosis in spine and both hips in the -3 range. In addition I need a biopsy for breast lump. Ugh. So I’m faced with choosing a new osteoporosis drug. Besides the side effects they all seem to have, I’m considering the cost as

IVF medication following BFP for those with POF?
Hi everyone Hoping to find a consensus re: dates of stopping hormone treatment for those with premature ovarian failure going through IVF. Recently thrilled to get a BFP following D5 DE FET (still early days, only 4.5 weeks along). My clinic seem to adopt a 'one-size fits all' approach and stops progesterone

Does anyone know if you can take eltroxin along with progesterone and estradot patches / vagifem
I’m on thyroid meds /-eltroxin .I take these in the morning on an empty stomach I’m going on the above HRT meds . Shall I take them in the evening after food ? Eltroxin states on the leaflet that HRT may Interact ? Pharmacist says there should be no interaction ? Maybe I should get my bloods done
