Medichecks Result and a warning about testing & HRT
Apologies for the long post (my first) and thank you if you manage to get to the end of it. Bit of history first (there's more in my bio), after 7 years of being bedbound with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I was finally prescribed combination T3/T4 in 2018. I hadn't had my bloods checked since 2019

my List of References recommending GP's keep TSH lower in range : feel free to add any others you have in replies.
These references all recommend GP's keep TSH between 0.4/ 0.5 and 2/2.5 in patients on levo. Some were taken directly from GP update sources ,one was written specifically for GP's by Specialist registrars in cardiology and endocrinology , and one is from the 2023 consensus statement from leading endocrinologists

HELP WITH KNEE PAIN
I am 2 months into having a knee replacement & am still in some pain. I can walk without a stick but still cant stand for more than 10 minutes. Is this a sign of operation failure? When will it get better? I am very dispirited & depressed.

KNEE REPLACEMENT PAIN
I am 2 months into having a knee replacement & can walk but not be able to stand for longer than 10 minutes. I am still in a bit of pain too. Is this normal? Is it a sign of operation failure? & when will standing get easier?

perimenopause please help
Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I'm nearly 42 and pretty convinced I'm perimenopausal. Can this be detected by having a blood test? My g.p said they just go by symptoms. Has anyone around my age group been prescribed hrt?

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 .

Bio-Identical Estrogen Safety
I miss my estrogen. I have osteopenia and I'm post menopausal. At the age of 64, is it safe for me to take bio-identical hormones for my bones? I have been without synthetic HRT for about two years and my bones are falling apart. Are there any studies on bio-identical HRT?

Problems with podiatry insoles?
Hi All, a few weeks ago I managed to get podiatrist appointment due to the problems with my left foot (painful metatarsals, collapsed arch and toes spreading, big toe joint fused).

New Doctor/central hypo
Hello everyone! I haven't posted my own stuff for a while now. What do you all think of this situation: The new doctor who took over the practice ordered the tests last week. At our first in person appointment I explained to her the my hypothyroidism is not because my thyroid but my pituitary.

Best HRT options after total hysterectomy
Hi, hope you’re all having a good day 🤗 After having a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed, I’ve been on Tibalone for a few years now, it seemed to be working, I wasn’t having too many menopause symptoms, but for the last 6 months it has got so bad, I have no energy, low mood, really bad brain fog

Wrist Fusion
Hello Everybody I have had RA for over twenty years now, although initially it seemed to be held in control with the use of DMARDS, including Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide and Etanercept, all of these had to be discontinued because of side effects i.e, infections and low platelets/thrombocytopenia

hi there I’m new to this having only been diagnosed with PMR a month ago and am on 20 mg pred and omeprozole and GP has just prescribed AA which I am due to pick up today. Inflammatory markers are down from first bloods a month ago but symptoms are only slightly better so GP is keeping me at 20mg daily
