Need advice on thyroid and HRT issues
I’ve got a TSH stuck close to 0 for some time now. Currently on 75/100. GPs just want to keep lowering Levo. NHS Endo not interested. However I have a follow up with them later this month. Previous private Endo doesn’t specialise in female hormones and was a private consultant so not attached to a hospital

Does anyone else over 60 with Glaucoma pay for eye lubrication in the UK ?
Apparently North East Essex patients have to pay for eye lubricants, also some areas of Somerset. Does anyone else ? It would be very useful to know. HRT now only costs £20 a year available to all women (probably only needed for a few years), so why not all Gaucoma medications ? Is lifetime conservation

I’ve posted a lot of results here as I don’t know what you would need for a clear understanding. Sorry I’m new here and have been in surgical menopause ages 37 so I’m trying to keep and eye on my health since then and adding back HRT I’ll try and add the extra results from bloods in comments?? Xx

Adcal-D3
I have been prescribed Adcal- D3 because the aromatase inhibitor I’ve been prescribed as part of my treatment plan for breast cancer has been known to cause osteoporosis. (Anastrozole).

Anastrozole and Adcal-D3 - hypothyroidism and hormone positive breast cancer
I have been prescribed Adcal- D3 as the medication I have been prescribed for breast cancer has been known to cause osteoporosis. (Anastrozole). I have several questions: 1. Adcal-D3 contains soy oil - I thought soy contained plant oestrogen which was similar to human? Is it safe to take given my

Female Testosterone Replacement Users
My endo has suggested I replace very low levels of testosterone with Androfeme, to complement my existing HRT package of Lenzetto and Utrogestan. After learning Androfeme costs £150.00 upward, and that my NHS GP already has female patients supplementing testosterone, I approached him to take on my prescription

4th Open Heart Surgery - Valve Replacement
Hi! My dad is having to have his 4th OHS in the coming weeks and I'm feeling a bit scared and anxious about it all. His last one was only in July 2021 - they are replacing the same valve that was replaced last time plus another one. Does anyone have any experience of having 4 open heart surgeries? Many

hip replacement
How did you make the decision to have a replacement? I keep going between thinking that I need to have it as soon as possible and then I think no I will try everything else first. I can not walk more than 30 minutes without feeling pain (on a good day). I am on daily medication to help with the pain

RLS during in the morning and during the day when trying to take a nap?
Dear everyone here, fellow RLS sufferers, I am so grateful for this forum, I am on it daily to see what else can help my mother. First time I was here because she suffered badly from RLS which worsened a lot after hip replacement. And she was on 900 mg Neurontin and 0.0375 mg of Pramipexole that time

Another useless Endo appointment - anti anxiety drugs are apparently the answer to chronic insomnia?!
Having waited a year for my follow up appointment, my t/con with the Endo was pointless. I have recently posted re 20 years of chronic insomnia, sorry I’m unsure how to tag that post. It included my blood test results. She claims waking at 1-2am is anxiety, and wants me to take anti anxiety drugs.

Spinal arthritis
I have had spinal problems for a number of years but since my hip replacement in 2018 left me with shorter leg i have ended up with pain in my left lower spinal area radiating into buttock and hip. Saw surgeon who did my hip and he said my old hip was no worse on xray than in 2018 but my lower spine
