Thyroid medication changes when starting HRT for perimenopause
I have been self medicating with liothyronine and levothyroxine for the past two years or so. Today I started the estrogen patch for perimenopause symptoms, and will also start progesterone in a couple of days. The provider that prescribed these said that some women need to increase their thyroid

Patches (I'm depending on you, son)
Dated pop reference - sorry. While my research has continued, my oncologist has nothing to give me within the SOC to keep the PSA in check. Now I've witnessed another unwelcome visitor: facial hair (it only took me 70 yrs to start shaving....) Joking aside however, that means the T is on the rise.

hi - when I went first to my Rheumatology dept 4.5 years ago - I had a X-ray on my knee as I’d had a lot of pain and swelling there. I’d tripped up at work. No evidence of any damage was seen. over the intermittent years including lockdown I ve had worsening swelling and more present pain. More drugs

Low iron, supplementing with 3 Arrows
Hi everyone, I posted about a week ago after having iron studies done through the NHS, it came back that I wasn’t iron deficient enough to be treated by a doctor, but my levels were definitely low enough to start treatment since I’m already experiencing symptoms and don’t want to get worse….. Latest

Help and Advice
I have been suffering some time now ( years perhaps ) with debilitating symptoms such as exhaustion, puffy face, coldness, constipation, dry skin, hair shedding, muscle aches and more recently severe numbness and pins and needles in my hands. I thought this may be the onset on menopause as I am now

Day 7 in HRT protocol = equivalent to what day in Natural cycle?
Hello my dear warriors, My clinic in Spain has recommended to go for a natural cycle rather than a HRT one this time. However my immune medicine is prescribed by the reproductive immunologist and to his protocol he has written : start Clexane and Prednisolone on day 7 of HRT. The nurses in his clinic

Ectopics - one after the other. So scared
Hi everyone. I posted on this forum a few years ago and everyone was so helpful. I wonder if anyone could offer some advice/reassurance? Quick back sorry. I had an SVT around 2.5 years ago and ended up in hospital. Had all tests and nothing wrong. Was put on 1.25mg Bisoprolol which made me horribly
