Anyone have experience with Anthem BCBS denying LVA surgery? If your insurance approved it, which insurance do you have?
Recently had my upcoming LVA/LVNA surgery denied by Anthem BCBS and was curious if anyone has had this happen to them with eventual approval. Not sure if I should let the surgical team/office handle the appeals independently, or be more personally involved in the appeals process. Additionally, if you

Gp just rang...š¤
Hi everyone ā¤ļø A gp as just rang asking me to see her today at 4.45, I have no doubt this is in relation to the letter I wrote to the practice manager in the awful treatment I have received by the surgery concerning synthetic thyroid medication they have been pushing on me the last 5 years.

Looking for ways to build bone
I lift weights three times a week, walk, bike, and use a vibration plate plate for exercise. I want to pick up a weighted vest to use with walking to add to my workout and possibly help my bones. I have read that a good starting point is around 5-10% of your body weight. For those of you that have

Is it ethical for GP to withdraw thyroid meds with no notice?
I've been on combination Levo and Armour for 20 years or so and well since 2016 when and NHS endo sorted out the levels and backed NHS prescribing Armour. On Monday the Armour was removed from my repeat script. I moved 2 years ago and the new GP's have written the script because I have the backing

Update from GP re blood in urine
Phone call first thing from Surgery. Please could you drop in a fresh urine sample. OK yes no problem, take it to GP surgery and nurse says, "will test now" Hm yes still very small traces of blood and also small evidence of Leuokocytes, could be due to UTI. Just check with GP, she says, GP

Need to get it off my chest.
I feel like I don't know what to try anymore. I've attempted so many medications while in such a heightened state of severe anxiety, I was on Clonazepam for 2 years straight with symptoms still leaking through. My memory, understanding, problem-solving, speech, writing- it all feels like it's taking

ADVICE
Hello, Apologies for such a short notice in requesting advice about taking Levothyroxine and Liothyronine therapy before a blood test on Wednesday 7 August at 12.20 pm at my surgery. I am aware the tests should be done before 9 am but this is an emergency test so they could not give me an early morning
