Levothyroxine and HRT
Hi, I've just had some bloods done due to weight gain, feeling generally unwell, menopausal symptoms and also to review my underactive thyroid, I'm on 125mcg Levothyroxine. My T4 is 21 (range 11.20-20.20), TSH 0.04 (range 0.27-4.20), FSH has been measured at 55.9. My GP wants to start me on HRT. Does

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

Zoladex and HRT
I was diagnosed with endo in 2021, it was removed from my abdominal wall but my pain never fully left. Just 4 months later my symptoms returned and the pain was as bad as it was pre-op. Here I am, 19 months later in significant daily pain. I am signed off sick from work for the 3rd week, and it seems

advice/opinions please
over the last few years my TSH has always been outside reference range. The GP has normally said borderline. They have usually been 4.5 and higher but less than 10. Last year in March was 5.3, borderline. Then I had a repeat in June 2022 and it came back as 3.4 no further action which was highly unusual

Update and Feeling Kicked…..
Thank you to everyone who helped me with my last post on this board regarding DNR. I’m relieved to say that my father was released and is possibly back on track to regain some of the weight lost at hospital. Still waiting to hear if it’s lymphoma. As for me I am feeling kinda kicked down this week.

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,

subutex
does anyone have any experience of using subutex for restless legs? My mother has had a knee replacement and her restless legs are terribly severe and she is not sleeping at all. She is on progablin and we have taken her off the oxycodine as it was making things much worse, her whole body was shaking

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

propranolol
hello. I had an awful anxiety attack that started on Sunday. I used to have them in the past as well as depression but taking sertraline 3 times a week helped keep things under control. I’m menopausal and on HRT and I think it’s related. I spoke to a GP who prescribed propranolol for the physical symptoms

Femseven conti patches
Hi,Has anyone been prescribed femseven conti patches? I've been prescribed these by the nurse at the GP surgery as an alternative to evorel as they were making me bleed and my anxiety was really bad. I've read on the packet they could increase fibroids so not sure I should be taking them. I'm on 3

Higher pulse than average
I’m quite fit but am feeling as though I’ve run a marathon - heart rate up and air hungry . I have UAT and take Armour Thyroid. I’ve reduced the dose from 1 grain am and pm to 1 am and 1/2 pm but it hasn’t made any difference. This has been happening for about two weeks now. I also take HRT, vitamin

Limited Scleroderma, Autoimmune issues, thymoma, metal implants in joints
I'm wondering if anyone has limited scleroderma and autoimmune issues, AND have had to have metal implants in any joint due to failed fractures? In May 2022 I stupidly tripped over my dog, fell heavily flat on my front onto a concrete floor, fractured my left kneecap and left wrist (radius). Both fractures

Trying to stay positive when I dont "get" it
This pelvic floor tightness came out of nowhere several weeks ago. I never ever knew this existed. Now Im in on baclofen/valium suppositories, HRT therapy 3x a week. I go for hrs where I have no pain and then the spasms and throbbing begins. Is there anyone else going thru a similar situation? Im scared
