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

Prostab and HRT
I've been struggling with endometriosis symptoms for most of my adult life but did not know this until three years ago. Over the last three years, I have struggled with my local health board to take notice and get the treatment I need. I was put on prostab injections 16 months ago to help with the

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

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone

CHANGE OF BIOLOGIC TREATMENT
Hello, I have had Rheumatoid arthritis since my late 30s (77 now). I had several biologic treatments , some of which did not really control the RA well… The best biologic was Enbrel (Etanercept) weekly injections. It gave me my life back for 14 years until I had my second knee replacement operation

spasms and twitches
I often get arm and leg spasms, but a few months ago, I had the strangest of "attacks". I can only describe it as "electric spasms"...everything twitches, I was not able to control my walking, my arm movements were uncontrollable and when I tried to talk, what came out were long stutters. I am not

second valve replacement
I had an aortic root and valve replaced in 2017 (mechanical valve) after combination of poor valve function and swelling aorta. This problem was found during a transasophogeal echo in advance of an ablation to tackle bouts of disabling AF that were only ever resolved by electrocardioversion. In the last

Irritability on levo dose increase?
Hello all, I'm about 4 weeks in to a dose increase of levo from 100 to 125mcg. I'm familiar with a surge in 'wired and frantic' energy when I've reached about the 3 week point on a new higher dose in the past. And I had that a few days ago. It had settled. However today I've been increasingly irritable

Ceasing Apixaban
I am due for knee joint replacement surgery. Can anyone relate their experience with stopping and starting Apixaban before and after the operation. I also take Ramipril, will I need to stop this for a while?. Thanks

Requip and Collagen
I have been taking Requip for several years and started taking Collagen last year as I had come off HRTand my hair and nails were in a terrible condition. I seem to remember seeing that taking both was not advised, is that correct? I have gone back on HRT but it has not made any difference.

My Story
I've had RLS since childhood and didn't know that I had the malady. Of recent years, it has gotten worse and I was placed on 1mg Pramipexole which worked almost adequately. After some months/years, I returned to see my Primary Care Doctor and they said it was alright if I took 1/2 tablet more of
