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

bad RLS, recent hip replacement
Dear all, I am a caregiver to my mother (65 yo) who suffers from RLS, and I am so excited to have found this community! It actually makes me both happy and sad, happy because this is the place where everyone understands what a nightmare RLS is, and of course very sad that many are suffering like my mother

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
