waiting for diagnosis
I’m losing the will I really am. 4 years I’ve been waiting for someone to listen to me. Bloods taken, no markers……… Latest GP, it’s your age, you are going through the menopause, have you thought about HRT? I kindly pointed out that it wasn’t the menopause 4 years ago when the consultant diagnosed

I’ve had hypothyroidism for the last 7 years but I’m on my knees with symptoms again mainly anxiety, heart palpitations and fatigue and the obvious weight gain. Dr has said I’m peri menopausal

Possibility of hip replacement anytime soon ?
My reason for writing this is to ask if anyone has been in a similar situation during the past couple of years and had any offer of a hip
replacement
( or any other
joint
replacement
) in the near future . I’ve read all the media stories of elective surgery having to wait for a couple of years .

HRT newbie help! NHS appointment, finally!
I needed a post of my own after "130396"s post today about Utrogestan and Estradot. It's taken almost 7 months but my NHS phone appointment is finally around the corner now, next Thursday. GP was reluctant to prescribe HRT herself. My periods first stopped in September 2020, then made a reappearance

Recent test results 'Satisfactory' - NOT! - and any advice about supplements on which order to take?
I've just looked online at my latest test results and the top box from my surgery says 'Result -
Satisfactory
' and 'What you need to do -
No Further Action
'. Quick history... I've got hashimotos, diagnosed in 2018, started on levothyroxine in 2020, noticed significant hair thinning/loss

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years
