Weight loss help (underactive thyroid)
Hi all, I need some help on how to lose weight with this annoying condition. I’m on armour thyroid, I take 1.5 grains at night and 1.5 grains in the morning. I’ve just gone onto hrt to treat early menepause symptoms. Blood are all good now on armour. I’m gluten intolerant so I don’t eat foods with gluten

Living with Endo.
I was in extreme pain every month crippled on the floor, unable to move. My condition was missed for years by the doctors who refused to believe there was anything wrong with me, in extreme pain for three weeks out of four I eventually got an ultrasound scan which picked up a large mass. I saw a gynaecologist

Emailed BBC!
I've just emailed More or Less, and Inside Health (BBC radio 4 programmes, for non UK people) to see if they might cover (for more or less) what the research data really says about things like TSH and osteoporosis/atrial fibrillation and (for inside health) the topic more generally. I'm hoping they might

Sequential Utrogestan
Hi all wonder if anyone can help. I started HRT last June. I’d been taking the progesterone only pill cerazette for years, so at age 53 I had not had a period for over 10 yrs. GP said to use the utrogestan 100mg every night. Stopped taking the cerazette. In September I started with some light spotting

I do not like my endocrine doctor!
Today I had a face to face appointment with my endocrine Dr. It’s the second time I’ve felt with him now and it’s not gone well. I had bloods taken pre appointment so I could know what was what, they did not get forwarded to my GP so couldn’t look them up on line. My TSH is 2.1 (no range) , up from

Ovary removal only
Hi 👋 I’m new here. Hoping I can get some insight. I have had about 9 months of prostap injections and found my endo/ adeno pain improved so much. A couple of months ago I started HRT to go with the prostap and have found my pain has increased a bit. From what I’ve read this is fairly normal with endo

Joint replacement surgery on hands
Hi everyone. I'm new here and had Ra for twenty years. My consultant has suggested I have silastic joint replacement on both my hands as they are so damaged. Has anyone else had this surgery? I'm just a bit worried as am a typist and wondering about my work. Thank you

Iron Bisglycinate versus Liquid Ferrous Sulfate
Hello oh wise ones. I’m constantly here lurking in the back and rereading posts to take info back to my doc. My doc has very little knowledge of RLS but she is very open to all your information so I’m eternally grateful. Been trying to up my ferritin for the last year. Started at 8 and now a year later

Blood tests showing significantly worsening results on 12 weeks of dose compared to 7 weeks. Could it be Covid/HRT or I simply need more?
Most recent blood results showing worsening levels. I started an increase from 50mcg to 100mcg levo at the end of last year. My results on 31st January after 7 weeks on 100 mcg were: Tsh - 0.92 (0.27 - 4.2) Free t3 - 3 88 (3.1 - 6 8) Free t4 - 17.7 (12 - 22) Folate - 6.95 >3.89 Ferritin - 54 (13 - 150

Taking hormone pills with Hashimotos
I’ve always avoided the contraceptive pill with my thyroid issue, I didn’t feel it was the right thing to do. I recently had an appointment with an endocrinologist, due to chronic insomnia, which I suspect is due to my low cortisol and low DHEA. She hasn’t confirmed as yet her proposed treatment plan

Sticky Blood and Covid
Hi I had positive antibody tests for two out of the three causing APS and was told by a rheumatologist in Newcastle I had sticky blood. I was going to be given treatment but unfortunately I had to return to live here in South London and the rheumatologists wouldn’t support the diagnosis even though

Hysterectomy update
Hi, so I had my hysterectomy on Monday. It went well though when they opened me up they found things were worse than expected. The cyst had grown from 6cm in December to 12cm. The surgeon showed me photos afterwards, I couldn't believe how big it was. I don't understand how I could have had something
