Hyperosmia (heightened sense of smell) after op
It's now nearly 5 weeks since my valve replacement and bypass, and while I'm totally pain free (except when I breath in) my nausea and lack of appetite seems to be getting worse. I'm now thinking that this is due to hyperosmia (it's getting worse), which I've had since I came round from the op. I can

Symptoms of thyroid issues but tests normal
Hi, can anyone help me understand please? My thyroid tests keep coming back as normal but I have symptoms which I’m trying to unpick from menopause symptoms. I’m on HRT but still feel cold, get crashing fatigue, have missing outer third of eyebrows, brain fog, low mood etc. My folate came back as low

So, after 3 years of testing every 8 weeks or so, I still don't trust my interpretation. 😂 Latest results on 150mcg T4 and 30mcg T3 are: TSH: 0.01 T4: 18.5 (12 - 22) 65% T3: 5.4 (3.1 - 6.8) 62% Previous results on 125mcg levo and 30mcg T3 were: TSH: 0.01 T4: 17.8 (12 - 22) 58% T3: 5.1 (3.1 - 6.8)

Valve replacement
hellooo, I am 25 years old and due to have valve replacement surgery at some point (not sure when, just waiting for the right time) I have Truncus Arteriosus and had valve replacement surgery when I was a baby but haven’t needed one just yet since. My question is… I am currently always tired. Not

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.

Hip replacement
Hello I think I have to have a hip replacement. I find it hard with polymyalgia to move my legs without stiffness even with the steroids. So I'm wondering if anyone has had a new hip whilst suffering and how it affects recovery with exercises? Any advice welcome. Thanks

Experiences of using HRT after oophorectomy+ hysterectomy

Help with test results - haemochromatosis with iron deficiency?
A few years ago I regularly had blood tests which showed high iron levels so my doc suspected Haemochromatosis. I had the genetic testing which showed I had the gene mutation. I used to get blood drawn to treat it and bring down my iron levels. However, recently I had blood tests which showed low ferritin
