Hrt and asthma - any problems?
Hi, I have moderate asthma with daily naughty mucus. The mucus is worsened by my rhinitis. The doctor wants me to start using oestrogen gel as my peri menopause symptoms have become nasty. Does anyone have any experience of the estradiol transdermal gel and asthma? I'm worried that it will worsen my

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?

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

NSAIDS anyone ?
When I was diagnosed with RA in 1989 , along with other medication , I was given diclofenac as a NSAID . This was later changed to Meloxicam by my rheumatologist . Which I took daily until this year . Fast forward to May 2021 and I tripped on a step in the house and fell heavily onto my left hip

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

Adrenalin?
I am down to 4 mg pred. after 2 years, no current pain just occasional tiredness. Over the 2 years I’ve noticed I lack emotion apart from frustration that turns into anger. Very rarely feel happy or excited and rarely content. Is this lack of Adrenalin? How long should I stay on 4mg before reducing to

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

HRT for treatment of osteoporosis
Hi. Can anyone offer their experience of using HRT to help build bone density instead of the usual bisphonates ? I have had a REMS scan recently which shows similar (spine) and higher (hip) T scores than my DEXA although the strength of my bones is very good according to the REMS. I have a very low

Issues with HRT four weeks on
I’ve been taking 100mg of Utrogestan, 2 pumps of oestrogel and vagirux for a month now. Initially I felt calmer but now I’m feeling worse than before. I’m getting more genito-urinary symptoms especially the day after using Vagirux. It’s the same as Vagifem. Especially after dropping down to twice

Query low ferritin? Any help with iron results please :-)
Hi all Here again asking probably a similar question to one a few months ago :-) I feel I have some issues with iron. My bloods are in normal limits with very low ferritin reading, but I’m having increasingly significant hair loss, fatigue, shortness of breath (all chest x rays and scans clear),
