Progesterone Only Pill
Since my diagnosis I cannot get settled and I have tried the Mirena Coil, Depo, and then got thrown on
Levest
/Millinette by my GP. I am not having a great time on the combined pill, hence the debate of gong back on Progesterone Only.

Periods after surgery
I’m 41 and pill that has been recommended is
Levest
or Rigevidon. I don’t know whether to give my body more time or take the pill. Has anyone else experienced anything similar or got any advice? Thank you.

Cerazette / Bowl Endometriosis
I was diagnosed with endometriosis many moons ago and they put me on the pill
levest
. Fast forward to 2022 and I started getting new pains, after a long battle the Doctors in April 2023 diagnosed me stage 4 endometriosis, it has spread to my bowels along with many other places.

Combi Pill
At the moment I'm taking
Levest
to help manage the symptoms which seemed to work for a couple months when I had energy and was pain free! Even though I've continued to take the pill, for the last couple months I've been experiencing pain, bleeding, nausea, bloating and fatigue again.

Cortisol help please
Been feeling really tired for about 6 months and trying to work out why. The last thing I had added before this was testosterone to existing HRT, so I stopped that again about 4 months ago, so not an effect of that now. I take T3 only, have not changed dose for some time and my results are towards top

T3 and cortisol issues?
hello, I could really use some help piecing my mess together. I’ll try to be brief but that may be difficult because there’s a lot to unpack. 2009 thyroidectomy for large goiter and hashimotos Lived comfortably on 150/175 mcgs of Levo until perimenopause. Around that time i developed severe anxiety

Why does Paul Robinson insist there’s no such thing as adrenal fatigue and T3 will fix low cortisol. It certainly hasn’t in my case .
I’m currently using armour thyroid at 2 grains and feel bloody awful. Same old same old symptoms I get when I try to increase Levo or Levo/t3. My adrenals suffer. I know it’s adrenals because I’ve been doing this for almost 5 years now. Really surprised with his info/advice which makes me doubt everything

Borderline/low cortisol child
Hello lovely people, I posted last week about my 9 year old daughter being diagnosed with autoimmune hypothyroidism. I received some great support from this community and wonder whether you could perhaps offer me some further wisdom please. It transpires that she also has a cortisol level that is just

Suppressed TSH and getting optimum on NDT
I'm being treated by a private thyroid Dr for hypothyroid, I'm on NDT Armour and I've been slowly titrating for 12 months from zero treatment. I couldn't get treatment on the NHS. My latest results show TSH at 0.01. My T4 and T3 are the highest they've ever been and I feel much better than I did last

Tweaking T3
Hello, Sorry to post yet again. I've gotten so much advice already and I will most probably have a go at the single dosing of T3 in the fall, but for now I have to make due with my split doses. I was feeling a bit off lately: increasing pain (back, leg, muscle, knee) in my right leg. Something that

Help interpreting results: Told TSH levels normal when they're higher than the normal range
Hi! A bit of background: I'm mid 30s & was diagnosed with subclinical hypothyroidism 2 years ago and my GP referred me to the consultant as I also developed a large goitre & have family history (my late Mum had hypothyroidism). Consultant told me I had Hashimotos & my TSH, T3, T4 & antibody levels were

Prednisone and fatigue
I realize this is just my experience and I don't know if there's any scientific data behind it but in case this might help someone I wanted to post it. I apparently have become castrate resistant and have restarted Abiraterone about 4 months ago. This is my second time I've been on Abi and this time

Yesterday I went to my Dentist for my routine check up and Polish and had the polish and clean first then during my check up the Dentist said you have a small pale (not white) on the inside of my cheek. She said it didn’t look sinister but said it

Advice on raising NDT
Following on from my post on 26/02/24, my symptoms got worse (increased number of anxiety attacks and unable to cope with pain in head/neck and upper back) and the GP didn't have any ideas, so I saw a thyroid specialist recommended by thyroid UK in April. The doctor had my blood tests done and these
