Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Been suffering fatigue on another level, weight gain, brain fog etc etc so ordered private bloods for fatigue through medicheck. Results came back as low iron, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for iron supplements

Cholesterol again
My latest FBC (not specifically to look at thyroid) showed high cholesterol. I haven't been taking my thyroid meds religiously as I usually do and my TSH has gone up. So, I will get on the case. I am on 75mg which is usually more than enough to keep my TSH around 1.5. However, my GP was reluctant

Hysterectomy, HRT and possible flare up
HI Ladies. So, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis when I was about 30 years old (Im now 45). I've had 2 laproscopys, 1 laperotomy and finally a total hysterectomy when I was 40. My ovaries were completely stuck to everything else around them, major pain, also had endo on my bowel, pretty much

Zoladex & NO HRT
Is there any ladies out there who have had a positive experience with the zoladex injection without HRT? I can’t take HRT due to medical conditions so I’m going on the zoladex but worried about side effects but hopefully will give me relief from such awful symptoms I have now with the endo & suspected

Am I doing the right thing?
Your advice in the past has been invaluable and I’m now wondering if I’ve done the right thing. I will try to be as brief as possible. In December last year I had a hip replacement and at the time was on 1 mg of pred which I stayed on, hoping to come down when things had settled down. In February my

Help! I thought I had a handle on the AFIB, but not so much now. I have been using bisprolol, I take 2.5mg daily, but the cariologist said I could take up to 4 of them to control an episode. that has worked until last week. so many things going on, I had a hip replacement 10 days ago, all went well,

x - rays
hi - when I went first to my Rheumatology dept 4.5 years ago - I had a X-ray on my knee as I’d had a lot of pain and swelling there. I’d tripped up at work. No evidence of any damage was seen. over the intermittent years including lockdown I ve had worsening swelling and more present pain. More drugs

it has been so helpful to read all the posts. I have only recently discovered this site. I started with PMR a few years ago and was put on Pred by my GP. 2yrs later I was diagnosed with GCA and went up to a higher dose. All of which helped with inflammation etc but I had the usual side affects. I was

HGV license after valve replacement?
Hi all, So a year and a half ago I had valve replacement surgery where I had a mechanical valve fitted. Im on a couple of different meds like warfarin and some beta blockers. But I'm back to 100% now and I'm looking at getting my HGV license as I'm pretty young and it's something I've always wanted
