RLS what works for me
After bilateral hip replacement in 2015, I developed RLS in both legs, seem to hit at once when it attacks. Mainly at night of course or during meetings or when I'm still too long. I take a plant product called kratom. It might not be legal in all states but is in mine (for now). I learned about it

Is Anyone Using Indivina HRT With Success (no thyroid med interactions and weight gain)?
I am considering trying Indivina HRT due to it being hair growth friendly as I have hair thinning, and also to prevent further bone loss ( I have early onset osteoporosis). If anyone who is hypo and uses Indivina, I would be grateful if they could advise on how successful they are finding it, particularly

On zoladex, worried HRT reactivated endometriosis ? Anyone had the same?
I have been on Zoladex for 4-5 months now, it’s helped my ovulation pain massively and the sharp pains I used to get with my period. I started on 1/2 patch of combined HRT 3 months after starting the zoladex but it wasn’t controlling the menopausal symptoms so I was upped to a full patch. Since starting

6 months after valve replacement and all is looking good.
I had mitral valve replacement exactly 6 months ago at Barts in London. It looks like people who are doing good are not writing on this forum. We usually see the others and therefore naturally think, after surgery people are not doing good. Its completely opposite in my experience. I had the OHS and

Sore thyroid/neck
Morning. Quick question if I may? Feeling good on levothyroxine 75mg, T3 5 mg and hrt. My only issue is my thyroid/neck is really sore. I've had it scanned and no nodules just shows typical Hashimotos or Thyroiditis. Endo wants to increase T3 to 10 mg but im not keen to have any more medication,

Advice please.
I was started on levothyroxine 25mcg in Dec 2021 after having symptoms of underactive thyroid. At this time TSH was 5.47 (0.38-5.35), FT4 11.5 (7.9-14.4) In Feb 2022 TSH was checked and 4.63. No change in medication. Since this time I have slowly had worsening symptoms of fatigue, weight gain, feeling

knee replacement during ADT
I have been on ADT for 8 months. I have a small farm and usually do constant physical labor. I find that I now have major fatigue and can now only do small things that leave me exhausted. I fell and wrenched my knee. I got a steroid injection and have a brace, my knee is bone o bone. I need a knee replacement

Here We Go Again?
As I write this my heart feels heavy accompanied by a dull ache and a small 'buzz' every so often. If it follows its normal progression it will start to feel squeezed during the next 24 hours & as though it has over done it at the gym and now feeling sore. This combination has seen me in A&E over 5

pred & surgery
Morning everybody! I am in the early stages of needing a hip replacement. Could anyone explain why some surgeons want you off pred completely before they operate while others don’t. I am currently on 1/2 mg. All the advice on this site has been a lifeline to me over the last three years. Many thanks.

Newbie with PV and questions!
Hi everyone, new to the forum. I'm 50 and was told I have Polycythaemia Vera last week. Probably like many of you on here, I ended up getting diagnosed with PV as a coincidence. I complained at my GP about persistent and worsening hip pain when walking. Eventually got sent for xray to check for arthritis

Update and advice needed
Hi, Just an update on my husband and a little advice please. (He's just turned 71) After having a massive flare of PMR and suffered with Carpal tunnel syndrome and sleep deprivation. He is finally in a better place. He has a bone density scan in September, should have been earlier, but he missed

pros and cons of hysterectomy vs decapeptyl injections for fibroids
Hi- wondering if anyone else had to make a decision between continuing decapeptyl injections (simulate menopause to control fibroids) or having open hysterectomy? Been on the injections a year now. There isn’t much research on long term use of injections which ‘switch off’ your hormones, and I can

Techie measuring help please
Due to a full hip replacement I do my running at an outdoor gym on an elliptical cross trainer. I'm up to (usually) 3 x 1hr in a week. My Apple Watch says I'm going about 5.7 miles. Wasn't too unhappy with this as it's nearly 10k However today I happened to record a walk with my husband at 4 miles in

Help change Health Professionals' attitudes to FM and FM diagnosis - your experiences, please... Sorry, a bit of a long read...
Background to my question.
Just had my second total knee replacement and my lovely Physio Salma at my hospital is particularly interested in trying to change attitudes toward FM in certain health sector groups and has made this a major part of her Senior Physio Thesis for which she is presenting

Active Surveillance Still a Good Option?
Hello, I (70 y/o active white male) was diagnosed with PC last October and I recently had my 3rd prostate MRI within 2 years. The results of the latest one was similar to the other 2: IMPRESSION: Benign prostatic hyperplasia with peripheral zone scarring. PI-RADS2. Elevated PSA density, increased from
