HRT and Fibroid growth?
hello just a quick one, do fibroids start growing again after menopause if you take HRT. Got 1 fibroid and a bulky uterus,not causing any problems now I’m 2 yrs post menopause. Wondering whether taking oestrogen and progesterone starts them off again? Would love to know if anyone has experience of having

Hydrocortisone versus Prednisone
My wife was diagnosed with addison's disease, she started using predsinose up to 7.5mg daily and 0. 2mg of fludrocortisone, after starting the treatment she had a slight improvement, she came out of the crisis she had when she was diagnosed with the disease, but to have a slow pace of life, she did not

CRT pacemaker
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been diagnosed with LBBB and am due to have a CRT pacemaker in the next few weeks (hopefully). I had no symptoms and it was only diagnosed following a pre-op assessment for a hip replacement I should have had in February - now postponed until the heart is stable

edoxaban and topical diclofenic gel?
I’m in miserable levels of pain after a hip replacement 6 weeks ago. Before I had my surgery the pain was well managed by meloxicam and amitriptyline but then I had my first episode of AFib and they thought it may have been triggered by those drugs. So I was started on the holy grail of Bisoprolol,

HRT options
Hello All, I had the Mirena coil (IUD) since starting menopause and was taking oral oestrogen HRT in addition for the hot flushes (nearly 10 years now). I was on Elleste solo 1mg, which I only took every 3-4 days, as I found this dose was okay for controlling the flushes, if I took more my breasts

Struggling to get a definite diagnosis
I was originally diagnosed with PMR in May 2021 by a very helpful GP. All was well for the first few months but on reducing I hit a wall at 8mgs. When I went to see GP I was disappointed that she had moved on but not particularly worried. How wrong I was. Over the next few months I was told to increase

Micronized Progesterone - Does it do anything?
I started taking HRT a while ago and I felt was all over the place, sometimes on top of the world. sometimes awful - it took me a lot longer than it ought to have done to figure out that in the 2 weeks that I take Oestrogen only I'm amazing, and when I take Utrogestan with Oestrogen I can barely function

Can symptoms come and go?
Hello everyone, At the moment I'm waiting to see the gp tomorrow about thyroid and b12. I'm having various symptoms but they are coming and going. They may not be B12 related. Or they may. Eg.I just did about 20 mins of putting a wash on, making up a bed, not rushing. I've had to lie down because

HRT & Decapeptyl
So last year I went on Decapeptyl injections on their own to try and manage pain. I came off them after 4 injections due to my mood being worse. I went back to the consultant in May who suggested I try them again alongside HRT until I had my MRI scan and have a follow up with him 3 months later (so

Ankle after hip replacement due to RA
Hi there 😊 I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I had hip replacement late January and since then the ankle on the operation side has been increasingly achy and a bit swollen. Also the foot turns in which it didn’t do before. My RA flared after the operation and Humira was added to my

menopause and Anxiety
Hi, I have severe anxiety and am in a perimenapaussl state. As of yesterday my head became so hot I thought it was going to explode. I also have diabetes and high blood pressure. I’m on mirtazipine 15mg but it doesn’t seem to be working as I find it so hard to get through my day. Maybe I need to start

Gp ringing me in the next 2 hours, assistance please!
Hello, Because I've gone downhill in the last few days I called again to speak to someone, this is after my sending in a letter last week with bloods and being ignored (fobbed off, dismissed). Now I'm hot and cold sweats, low level tingling, dry tongue (electrolyte ususally help but not now) unsteady

Almost there... Couch2 5k!
Back in January I signed up for a 5k run which is this Sunday! I had 2 hip replacements in 2019 and hadn't run a step since then. The first runs were horrid, my legs felt like cement weights. Now I'm doing 30 min runs, only to find out on the track today that I only did 2 miles in 30 min! Not sure where

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
I saw a ‘hormone specialist’ GP today. Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed TSH. Only saw her because she’s meant to be good with HRT, but she’s gone mad about my TSH. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, I’d like to increase my levo!

Subchondral Insufficiency fracture
I posted a few weeks ago about being diagnosed with this plus bone oedema. Not seen an orthopaedic surgeon yet so dont really know the prognosis apart from possible partial knee replacement. But can it repair as most fractures do? Anyone know? I have read that it can be caused by steroids (3 years on

Hi Everyone, A year ago I was diagnosed the NAFLD Cirrhosis to summarise Child Scale A, Meld 7 and well compensated. I was having an endoscopy for something else. Initially was shocked, panicked and experienced a myriad of emotions. I’ve just had a review after a year my first scan, and liver function
