URGENT call from GP
Hi, I had my bloods taken early morning Friday. (Stupidly took my tiromel beforehand as forgot about appointment) -"menopause another story" Had an urgent call from GP early afternoon to say my TSH was too low and to immediately reduce my Levo. He is unaware that I self medicate and unwilling to even

Thyroid and Colour Vision
An article in the Guardian the other day, has prompted me to post about the effect of thyroid hormone levels on our vision. A subject that does crop up occasionally here, but I've not seen it specifically mentioned recently. Almost all opticians that I've ever encountered have either denied that hyp

Oestrogen only HRT
Hello. Does anyone have any experience of taking oestrogen only HRT after a partial hysterectomy? I've been recommended this,by a BSGE consultant, but didn't think that oestrogen only was a good option and now I'm really confused. I have had 4 excision surgeries for stage 4 endo and still have, now

Diagnosis of Sigmoid volvulus 3 weeks ago and an emergency operation via colon righted it temporarily.
I am recovering slowly from the shock of the above diagnosis. The surgeon said he will have to do a major abdominal operation (which he is reluctant to do whilst I am on Prednisolone, I was on 6 mg 3 weeks ago but now on 5mg) as healing and infection could be post operative problems. So I saw my Rheumatologist

Codeine
Hi Does anyone have experience with codeine based products? I have RLS, just about managing through Fe and Mg tablets. I have been suffering with severe bouts of pain, in particular at night time, and have discovered that I need two hip replacements due to osteoarthritis. I took a codeine based product

Not a flare, but RA of the hands
I've had PMR since March 2019, managed with Prednisone and Leflunamide. After a slow taper to 3.mg, my hands started swelling last August and were so stiff and painful that I could hardly use them. As I have mild carpal tunnel syndrome, I contacted my hand surgeon at Kingston hospital and got an appointment

Hi I’m nearly 5 months in on the 3monthly prostap ( for fibroid shrinkage and pre hysterectomy) .. I didn’t take the Tibolone due to my fears for the first 3 months , but tried it on a half dose for about a month when I started the second 3month injection .

steroids and hip replacement surgery
I’m on steroids for PMR and have had to go back up to 15 for a flare. I’m due to have a hip replacement hopefully in the next couple of months. My question is will it still go ahead while I’m on them.?

Has my Sertraline stopped working?
I have been on Sertraline for depression for 2 years. I was put on 100mg and it seemed to help, I began to feel like my old self again. My dose was gradually lowered down to 50mg. But towards the end of last year….things started to unravel. I got married last October and I wasn’t the slightest excited

Questions regarding my B12 case (IF, veganism, oral sublingual, and other blood results)
Hi all, My case seems to be a little murky. In 2018 I found out that I had very low B12. I was a vegetarian at that time and for the last 2 years have been vegan. Back in 2018, I began injections which brought my level very high very quickly. At that time I also took my first intrinsic factor test. It
