My thyroid and iron panel results for interpretation please
Hello everyone, I recently got my results back and am quite confused. I'm still on 75mcg Levo. I'm 88kg. The GP didn't want to raise it last time we spoke (before coming onto the forum).

B12 injection before my hip replacement
Hi I have B12 injections every 12 weeks from my GP but inject every 3 weeks at home. My question is should I inject a couple of days before I go in? I feel absolutely exhausted and in continual pain. Your answers will be much appreciated. I have it done on the 24th April. Thankyou.

uncontrollable head (only)sweating
Im in my mid 50's have probably gone through menopause by now, but GP insists i still use HRT, i have used tablets single dose , patchs now use a gel on my thighs daily, i honestly do not think this is a hot flush. If i get hot from normal everyday activities including exercise it is guaranteed my head

Ryeqo, anyone on it or tried it?
Just started this today, apparently it's a new drug similar to prostap but in tablet form with hrt included, to be taken once a day for six months. When I picked my prescription up the chemist said the 3 month supply of tablets were very expensive and cost over £200 apparently! I work but i'm on universal

no help from the gp
I have not been diagnosed - my doctor has no idea and can’t find someone to refer me to. I have a few questions and feel this might be the best place to get answers as mu GP is no help. I broke my hip 2 years ago and walked around on it for 6 months before I got to the stage I couldn’t get out off bed

Coming off HRT patches
Hi everyone, I'm 55 years old and I've been on a bit of a health journey these last few years to say the least, with many debilitating symptoms including crushing fatigue. As part of the treatment for this, I went onto HRT oestrogen patches 18 months ago, along with the mirena coil I already had.

estrogen therapy
I am an older woman in my late 70s. I have been on the estrogen patch for many years after a complete hysterectomy in 1987. I was diagnosed with CLL in 1998 after being monitored for high wbc for 4 years prior to the diagnosis. Due to enlarged under arm lymph nodes and wbc of 35000 I was treated after

Pelvic pain with blood/brown discharge
Hi - I'm 61 and get pelvic pain and occasional blood and brown discharge when I wipe myself after weeing. I've referred to my GP and the issue has been investigated with tests including an MRI scan but they can find nothing wrong. I use HRT patches with combined Progesterone daily. I also use Estriol

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

Possible CRPS?

Later diagnosed with Bile Salt Malabsorption. When I was around fifty the joint pain which I’d always suffered from since childhood began

Is this right or should I request a second opinion?
Been suffering fatigue on another level, weight gain, brain fog etc etc so ordered private bloods for fatigue through medicheck. Results came back as low iron, low Vit D and low T4. THS was normal. Doctors notes was possibly hypothyroid but seek GP advice. Doctor wanted to wait for iron supplements

Cholesterol again
My latest FBC (not specifically to look at thyroid) showed high cholesterol. I haven't been taking my thyroid meds religiously as I usually do and my TSH has gone up. So, I will get on the case. I am on 75mg which is usually more than enough to keep my TSH around 1.5. However, my GP was reluctant
