Knee replacement
I have ET and am concerned about getting knee replacement surgery and the chance of blood clots. I read that the average blood loss is 800 ml. Has anyone gotten this surgery and how did it go?

It's me again!!!
I had the Dutch cortisol test done. Results were a worry. Basically my HPA-AXIS needs support due to high levels of nightime free cortisol and cortisone. My DHEA-S is low in range too. Spoke to my doctor who wasn't bloody interested as usual so resorted to Google. From your previous recommendations

T4/T3 combo reducing Levo
I worked my way up to 112mcg of Levo and finally added 10mcg of T3. After the introduction of T3 my T4 levels(around 40% in range) didn't change much after going up to 112mcg daily and my overall thyroxine levels came down further. I did try to increase to alternating days with 125/112mcg of Levo but

HRT patches, how to make them stick!
Does anyone have any tips as to where best location for HRT patches to go? My GP says anywhere below the waist, so it’s been put (first time today) just above pubic area, but it seems to wrinkle and fold, especially when I sit down, presumably reducing its effectiveness. Tips welcome for a first time

Advice on Results Please
Hello, I've been trying to find my sweet spot since starting HRT and discovering I was undermedicated. I've just had my latest test results back although I keep having issues with the blood samples for Medichecks so some tests have been redone and other are missing. Anyone else have issues with this
