What could be causing tachycardia?
Hi lifesavers, Someone has asked if the tachycardia I have been getting lately may be caused by the 5mcg of Tiromel that I take in the morning. Also I was wondering if I should stop taking the levothyroxine altogether, & either just try to buy some low dose Tiromel or Liothyronine without the T4 in

Transdermal B complex patches - any experience?
Hi I've been looking for B vitamins and have had some suggestions - thank you! I've just come across patches as a way of delivering vits and minerals etc. Same idea as HRT. https://www.patchworksuk.com/product/patch-aid-b12-plus-30-patches/ I know nothing about them. Has anyone used patches and liked

cold feet and hands
Hi there, this might be a stupid question, but since I’ve been taking HRT I’ve been getting really frozen, cold 🥶 feet and hands, and can’t seem to get them to warm up, also when I’m relaxing or in bed a night, my legs won’t relax, I have to keep moving them, and it’s keeping me awake . Anyone else

RLS during in the morning and during the day when trying to take a nap?
Dear everyone here, fellow RLS sufferers, I am so grateful for this forum, I am on it daily to see what else can help my mother. First time I was here because she suffered badly from RLS which worsened a lot after hip replacement. And she was on 900 mg Neurontin and 0.0375 mg of Pramipexole that time

HRT after Endo and full Hysterectomy
Hi 2 years ago I had a full hysterectomy following having stage 4 endo which was everywhere but mainly 15cm chocolate cyst on my ovary and stuck to my bowel. Resulted in me having bowel surgery at the same time as my hysterectomy with a temporary stoma. I had a 3 weeks stay in hospital with complications

HRT or Thyroxine
I have had many symptoms and put it down to thyroid. I was hesitant to go on HRT because of my cancer history. I paid to go private using the Menopause guru as I wanted comprehensive knowledge and advice - not sure I’m allowed to say name). It was 300 quid well spent. 2 months in feel and I feel so much

edoxaban and hip replacement.
I’m a 66 year old woman, due to have a complete hip replacement in late Feb - have been looking forward to it for months. Always considered myself to be very fit and healthy. However, 8 weeks ago I found myself in A&E with a self-limiting episode of AFib, which lasted maybe 45 mins. I didn’t see a cardiologist

At the moment I am on

Iron test - unsure how to interpret results
I was advised to get a full iron test done after a test for thyroid levels was within range. I'm trying to determine the cause of severe fatigue and muscle pain, twitches, digestion issues, headaches, pins & needles. Does this measurement for transferrin saturation indicate anything I should investigate
