Toe Surgery
Hi just wondering if anyone has had forefoot arthroplasty or now called Stainsbie procedure. I saw my foot surgeon yesterday and that is what he recommended for my twisted toes. I didn’t like the fact that you end up with floppy toes! How does that feel and does it affect your walking??in good walking

Scuba Diving/Snorkeling
When I had surgery, 9 years ago, for a valve replacement, triple bypass and a couple of other procedures, I read that it wouldn't be safe to do scuba diving/snorkeling. I had only ever been snorkeling anyway, so didn't worry about it. However, I have just booked a holiday to Australia, and of course,

Stopping T3
Hello everyone. My mum has been on T3 (50 mcg) for a while (3 years). She wants to gradually stop it, as she was actually misdiagnosed it turns out, but she is afraid because she thinks her thyroid may stopped working due to thyroid hormone replacement. Can any of you suggest, please, how she can gradually

Please advise?
I am 65, have a benign cyst on an ovary which has been there at least 18 months. The consultant wants me to have a full/total hysterectomy (am in UK so that means total). I am unsure if I should agree as worried about totally losing oestrogen, and some stuff I've heard and read about how you have a

Noobie Hypo struggling with dose/GP and ‘feeling well’
Hi, I’m new. Any advice and guidance would be much appreciated. I started feeling dreadful in 2018, (although on reflection having excessive sweats all my life, sleeping through my A Levels in the 90s all add up) was put on HRT for 3 years. It stopped working, felt worse and different GP at the practice

Progress made starting HRT
Hi Today a nurse has put me on HRT, Estradiol 0.06% gel and Utrogestan 100mg capsules. To be honest, I’m shocked, as the previous nurse I had a telephone conversation with was obsessed with getting my bloods done, and as the keys words were not mentioned by me as ‘no periods’, and ‘hot sweats’, I could

Pain and stiffness - menopause or something else?
Hi. I was put on pred, mycophenolate and alendronic acid for 2 years in 2008 after several strokes and many tests which concluded in a diagnosis of primary (cerebral) vasculitis. I recovered exceptionally well and still take blood thinners now. In 2020 I developed numerous menopause symptoms including

Blood tests for Thyroid and Food Intolerances?

My femur cracked just above a knee replacement. The crack was not treated, and moved, causing scoliosis in my spine, with slipped discs
I want to thank all the people who have taken time to write. You are the best medicine I have been given . A million thank yous!!! Very recently, and in desperation and much pain, I approached a firm of solicitors who do pro bono work. This is the important bit - although they believe I should receive

Is anyone on T3 only and experiencing anxiety and symptoms of worrying lots? Wondering if this is a menopause or thyroid issue..
I was currently taking metavive for my under active thyroid, but due to self dosing it wasn't working as I was on too high a dose. When working out (seems a life time ago!) my heart rate was 200bpm. I therefore came off metavive and now seeing an endocrinologist. I am now on T3 only as thyroxine didn't

Immunologist referral
Hi everyone. Sorry a bit long winded.🥺 Recently I have developed reactions to medication. In January I developed rash to my HRT patch that I had been using for 6months, then an allergy to my perfume. In Feb I started on methotrexate for my arthritis but I got really bad nausea that lasted 4 weeks, then

Knee replacement, wound and shingles , what a month!
I had a Total
Knee
Replacement
on 10/7 and it went really well, or so I thought. I ended up getting a very deep wound were my incision is and going to to wound clinic every week. Then I got shingles even though I am vaccinated! It's been very interesting.
