Heart failure
Saw cardiologist in March. He asked me who told me I had heart failure, I told him he had told me five years ago and yearly ever since. I saw him before my valve replacement. He said he wasn't sure I had heart failure. Sent for battery of tests and then got letter saying I have heart failure with

second opinion?
I was diagnosed with endometriosis over two years ago when I was being tested for a problem with my bladder. Doctor found a mass and sent me for scans internal and external. I also had a hysteroscopy (more than one eventually) where they had problems with my cervix. I have a massive chocolate cyst in

Private endo recommendation in Wales, please
Hi. I haven't posted for a while as I've moved from England to Wales. I used to see Dr SZ at Gatwick Spire, and am hoping someone could recommend an endo closer to Wales. I can't find anyone on the ThyroidUk list.On the Thyroid UK list, Dr GC ( who has Hashimoto's herself ), does video conferencing

Thyroid menopause supplement no hrt
Hi. I've been feeling quite good for a while now but I've had to stop taking HRT.I'm now feeling not fabulous again. I'm looking at all the natural alternatives. Anyone got any suggestions which won't interfere with thyroxine or aggravate the thyroid? Thank you

Hysterectomy, HRT and possible flare up
HI Ladies. So, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis when I was about 30 years old (Im now 45). I've had 2 laproscopys, 1 laperotomy and finally a total hysterectomy when I was 40. My ovaries were completely stuck to everything else around them, major pain, also had endo on my bowel, pretty much

Hi everyone, I'm a long time ThyroidUK participant. Right now the thyroid replacement is good, vitamins, minerals, are all great. I'm very particular to ensure this. I use HRT (Triestrogen/progesterone) topical cream and have used since age 45 and I'm now 65. Here's the problem: in March

Why has my TSH increased after several years of taking the same dose of Thyroxine?
Background - following RI treatment for an overactive thyroid I have been taking 75mcg Levothyroxine daily since 2015. At that time the consultant endocrinologist said that I should aim for a TSH of around 2. I have annual blood tests and the previous two years the readings have been 2.7 and 2.9

Progesterone: oestrogen ratio
Hi all I recently got my oestrogen and progesterone levels done by medichecks.I was hoping they worked out the actual ratio of oestrogen to progesterone but they don't so now I'm confused. The 2 results are calculated in different values (pmol/L Vs nmol/L) which makes it hard to interpret if one of

Low iron test results and a way forward please
I had some blood tests recently and am wanting advice on a way forward, please. My serum iron level and my transferrin saturation index are both below the minimum level on the reference ranges. My serum ferritin is only just above the minimum on the reference range. I am struggling with symptoms I remember

Anyone know anything about ferritin and trans ferritin saturation levels?
OK so I got some results back re iron and B12 and would so appreciate some expert understanding from anyone of you. I believe I might have lowish ferritin. It's 39ug but my transferritin saturation is 52%, which is high. How do I increase my iron levels if I need to, with high transferritin saturation

RLS - Q&A
Hi RLS survivors I am continuing my Pregabalin journey and wanted to check in with this community to ask out loud various questions circling around my head. The good news is that Pregabalin is making a difference. I get some relief from jumpy legs at night even on a low dose (75mg) What I am experiencing

Help with iron results - follow up from 3 arrows nutra
Hi everyone, I did an iron panel and I’m quite amazed with my ferritin level. I have been lax with my iron supps since going to T3 only and thought I would definitely have ranked my previously low results. To my disbelief, my ferritin is the highest I’ve ever seen it! I was previously taking the 3 arrows

HRT question.
Hi, I’m been on HRT for about 5 weeks now but my anxiety has just got worse. I’m having hot flashes today too, i feel my head is about to explode. Shouldn’t I be feeling a little bit better by now or is it too soon. Any thoughts please?

Atrial fibrillation after steroids
Has anyone experienced atrial fibrillation after starting steroids? 4 years ago I had steroid injections in both knees, and less than 48 hours later suddenly went into persistent rapid AF, having no previous history of it. I found some Dutch research that found new atrial fibrillation was more common
