Hip replacement surgery
Has anyone had hip replacement surgery with ET jak 2 , on hydroxy and aspirin? I'm due for this in a few weeks with a pre op assessment in 2 weeks time. Surgeon has been made aware of Et situation. I just wondered if anyone has encountered any problems or issues, or whether the procedure was straight

Getting worse
I have been on gabapentin for several years and this was just beginning to be less effective when I had a hip replacement. My rls got very bad and my gp added in ropinerole 1mg which I take at 8.30pm. This means a great night but increasingly I am having symptoms in the afternoon and evening. Any advice

Worried
I am feeling very depressed and worried that something else is going on with my heart other than my usual micro vascular angina. I kept on taking the Hrt despite it giving me significant chest pain every time I took it. I thought I would push through it and that it would get better as it was only applied

New blood results from Thriva.
I have had an increase in weight of 4kg, from 60kg to 64kg, during a period of 2 months. I am struggling to lose weight. I decided to have my blood tested to see if my thyroid is being properly managed. I have had an increase in weight and have constant fatigue. Can someone help me decipher the results

How does synthetic t4 convert to the active t3 after a thyroidectomy?
Is it the same place & way if one still has their thyroid? Ie. When you all note that hormones given replace the thyroid, not top it up if the thyroid is still in place, does it then not matter if one has a thyroid for this mechanism? (Not discussing taking anyone's thyroid without obvious dire need

Different Treatment Advice from Endocrinologist and Rheumatologist
Hello, I'm in my thirties and have osteoporosis. Earlier this year I saw an endocrinologist who advised I start HRT (my hormone levels are fine) and I have just seen a rheumatologist who advised I take alendronate. Neither can advise on the other. I wondered whether people had experience with either

New resource for osteoporosis information
I've posted before about my good results from the OsteoStrong program. Here is another resource that I have found very helpful for information on HRT and osteoporosis supplements. Dr. Doug Lucas also has a YouTube channel. It might be helpful for someone in this community. https://www.optimalbonehealth.com

Mechanical valve
Thanks for your replies! You are correct, I think I got my terminology wrong, sorry. I will have a mechanical valve not a biological valve, thus the need for warfarin. I was also hoping to use the self testing kit for warfarin, as we spend much time in Africa, which could be rather tricky. Good to

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral valve replacement. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life. Also I was wondering, are there still no other alternatives to taking warfarin when
