hip replacement soon
my hematologist wants me to get my platelets under 400 for my surgery so I had to up my hydroxyurea to every day instead of 4 a week. He’s ok with them in the 500 range but thinks it’s better for them to be lower for surgery. He says I can cut back after a month after surgery. I really want to stay

Newly diagnosed with osteoperosis
Good evening, I have recently been diagnosed with osteoperosis and have been advised that it is likely that my GP will do further tests (Parathyroid being one) then either offer me HRT or Alendronic acid, however I understand that if this is all caused by my parathyroid then no treatment is possible

Sulfasalazine experience
I am presently on 6 tabs of 500 mg sulfasalzine and it has done nothing for my Psoriatic Arthritis. I started Otezla on Oct 16th so I will see if this is effective then I can then decrease Sulfasalazine. The enthesitis Achilles Tendon is the most debilitating and frustrating because it makes it very

Increase Pred. before hip surgery?
I'm having my second hip replacement this coming Saturday and wondering whether to increase Pred dose prior to it. I'm on 5mg (stayed there since May when I had the other hip done). I didn't increase it last time just took 5mg the morning of op and discussed hydrocortisone support with the anaesthetist

running after hip replacement
Nearly nine months after a total hip replacement and I just went for my first gentle jog. I dropped back to week 4 of the programme, so two three minute and two five minute runs. It went OK. It is really encouraging that even after a long break you do not go back to square one in running ability. Does

Bisoprolol
hi I’ve been on Bisoprolol fumerate 1.25mg for a few months for a slight irregularity that was seen on a 24 hour heart monitor. My blood pressure is on the low side but since my valve replacement I have symptoms. The beta is making those symptoms a little worse. I will ask my specialist but was wondering

Menopause and HRT
it’s just after 3am on Christmas night and I’m lying in bed wide awake knowing that something needs to change. My gynae has ruled HRT out for me as the endo used to be so aggressive, particularly in terms of ovarian cysts and she fears that feeding it estrogen will reawaken the beast. When I naively

Not sure what to do next?
Hi Everyone Looking for some advice please 🙂 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2018 and had all the usual symptoms, anxiety, hair loss, insomnia, mild OCD. Endo consultant said my TSH should be targeted at 1, eventually stabilised with 125mcg levothyroxine. All was going well until about 12 months

Knees
I am having problems with my knees. At the beginningf of this year, I went to an orthopedic surgeon to see about knee replacement. He took x-rays and said the arthritis was not bad enough to warrant replacement, but suggested I get cortisone shot in my knees. So I went to another Dr. last April who

Hip replacement
Hi everyone. I am looking to hear from anyone with A Fib who has had a hip replacement operation. Did you have any problems, were there any concerns about doing the operation from the doctors? Please let me know of your experience. Thank you.

Help with GP gaslighting
My GP is calling my latest thyroid results ‘borderline’ and doesn’t think it explains my symptoms. I’m livid! 19 months I’ve been waiting for my blood results to get outside NHS normal range from low in range. Now at TSH 0.32 (range is 0.35+). I have an enlarged multinodular goitre, I have iron infusions

Experience at Papworth and Barts
Hello everyone, I will be having mitral valve replacement at some point… I’ve got to have an angiogram next week and then discuss hospitals with my Cardiologist. He mentioned Papworth and Bart’s, does anyone have any experience in either of these two for heart surgery? He said Bart’s might have a shorter

DEXA results worse, trialling HRT
Had my first DEXA scan 2 years ago at 48 due to family history of osteoporosis. I have no other risk factors. Scan showed osteopenia in my hips (overall -1.7) and osteoporosis in spine (overall -3.4). Did not want to take alendronic acid offered by my GP. Asked for medication review with Rheumatology

Hypothyroidism Prevalence in the United States: A Retrospective Study Combining NHANES and Claims Data, 2009–2019
This USA paper discusses prevalence of hypothyroidism in the USA. And comes up with 11.7% in 2019. That same year, the NICE guidelines said "about 2%" for the UK. An astonishing difference. Is the USA figure ludicrously high? Or the UK figure improbably low? Or is there such a large real
