Open heart surgery
I’m slightly anxious about my upcoming surgery for a mitral valve replacement and repair of atrium valve plus bypass on 16 January. I suffer from COPD. My worries are not actually about the heart side of the op, I have an amazing Clinical Lead who is extremely capable of this op. Amazing and clever

Low TSH stopping me getting HRT
I am 45 yrs old, & believe I am in perimenopause. I had hormonal blood tests done 6 mths ago, which didn’t show this, but was told that didn’t mean I wasn’t peri as hormones go up & down throughout the day….I decided at that time my symptoms weren’t bad enough to try HRT. I spoke to a doc today as

9 years in the menopause
Hi, I’m new here and have a question. I’m now 58 and had my last period when I was 49. I have been suffering hot flushes ever since. My hair is very thin on top which I’m not sure if connected. I’m also taking steroids for another unrelated condition (PMR) I have never taken HRT due to it linked to

Latest GP diagnosis is... I’m getting old! I'm 55! Help with next steps please… 😠
Hi everyone. So had my GP follow up since my previous posts. My ferritin is 26, which the GP informs me is the highest it’s been since they tested in 2017. She assures me it's fine as it’s ‘in range’ [10 – 180]. She insists I ‘categorically cannot have low B12 symptoms’ with an ‘above range’ B12

Question please
I am 64 this year. I lost my Son who was killed in action when I was 49 and had my last period at 52. I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but lately have had hot flushes and although I'm always exhausted I've felt even more so. It appears my blood tests were satisfactory. My Nurse Practitioner believes

Hormone replacement therapy for bone strength
I have been taking Activelle for the past ten years and am still in osteopenia and my scores have improved. I have read that use of HRT can cause breast cancer. My GP said to continue with the HRT. Any thoughts?

Been told by gynae I'm too old for endo but gp disagrees?
I hope someone can help/advise please. I have been having severe abdo/gynae issues for a long time, but they have worsened in the past 12 months. I am 48 and my gp thought it was Endometriosis as I am having bowel and bladder issues, linked to my cycle. The pain is so bad I nearly pass out. I have seen

HRT and women over 70
Hi all— I read that they offer hormone therapy in Europe, ( even to older women in their 70’s) but not in the US. I asked an Osteo doc in the US why and and she said because we’re not Europe! That’s all! Can anyone offer any experiences along with other ALTERNATIVES to the current batch of Osteo meds

Hi , I’ve just started HRT this week and looking for advice. This is all new to me and I’m so confused.
I tried to google information but and keep coming across conflicting and contradicting answers.
I’m on Kliovance and trying to read up on it. I’m really short tempered and not

Most efficient way to increase folate?
When I last tested in June my folate was very low, despite iron, Vit D and ferritin being ok. My ferritin is never brilliant, and v slow to increase but it doesn’t seem to cause me any issues. Folate however was below range (2.08ug/l) on the medichecks system. I did continue my supplements but had to

Vaginal oestrogen and gyno (man boobs) on husband
I'd just like to share my story about vaginal oestrogen. Before I started patch HRT, I decided to try vaginal oestrogen first to see if that would help with painful intercourse due vaginal atrophy brought on by the menopause. My (younger) husband is a health and fitness person who is super toned
