private blood tests and antibodies?
hi, I am going to purchase some blood tests, I would like thyroid, female hormones (started HRT and want to know where they are now) and vitamin levels. Do I need to test thyroid antibodies if my diagnosis is central hypothyroidism? Or is this irrelevant as the thyroid is not attacking itself? thanks

Help with hypothyroidism & oestrogen
Good evening I was wondering if anybody has had the same experience as myself and how it was resolved. I was first given oestrogel for my peri menopausal symptoms and felt very unwell on it along with the headaches and crippling anxiety and vertigo I feel as if I'm over medicated on my levothyroxine

Stopping Prostap & Hrt, Advice required, Scared but can't do another 3 months feeling so depressed and knackered 24/7 xxx
I'm on my 4th month of Prostap injection and Hrt, I feel like I can't mentally take another 2/3 months, my appointment system is a joke at the hospital therefore I have to arrange my appointments myself and can't actually get through to anyone at the hospital, I really don't want the Prostap injection

Need help with Oestradiol and thyroid blood results ASAP please!
I've just received my Medichecks results from yesterday and to say I am alarmed about the Oestradiol result is an understatement. My oestradiol is LOWER than when I tested before starting HRT in September 2022!

Latest results
Hello, would anyone be kind enough to help me with my latest results? I have had an underactive thyroid since my early 20s and I have also been diagnoses with Hashimoto's, but do these results indicate I have now gone overactive? I had a full hysterectomy a year and a half ago and I'm not sure if that

UPDATE ON HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY
Hello everyone, I had my hip replacement surgery a week ago today. It went well. I went into the theatre at 9 am and in the recovery room at 11 am. I spent 5 hours in recovery because they had to discharge patients and sanitise the beds and wards so newly operated on patients could have a bed! That

Hi everyone! I just stumbled across this website again and thought it may be a good place to seek advice from others who may have gone through similar events. So my story is a bit of an odd one. I’m 29 years old and I had always had heavier periods that were more on the painful side. But I was able

I have had parkinsons for 5 years and need a hip replacement, I fear how the anesthesia will affect my symptons. I have an appointment with a new neurologist, but it's not until the end of March. My surgeon can only tell me that it's my decision,

Senior lady bleeding after restarting HRT
Hi. This must seem a strange story. I have a history of severe endometriosis but I am now 75 and restarted HRT patches about six months ago for bone protection as I am on steroids. I had a 7 year break because my GP wanted me off HRT because of the research. I had no problems with HRT and wish I had
