query about pred and surgery
I am having a total hip replacement later this month, and had my pre-op assessment this week. After some deliberation the nurse told me that I should not take my pred the morning of my op (my admission time is 11am, I presume for an afternoon surgery). I will see both the surgeon and the anaesthetist

New to all this, please help with test results
People on the Hypothyroid UK forum have suggested that I join this forum because of some test results that I received yesterday. Long story short, I've finally been diagnosed with hypothyroid, but I'm still having awful problems with my memory, attention, concentration, finding words and ability to

Zoladex delay
Hi All, has anyone postponed one of their monthly Zoladex injections by a week? Any issues in that week? My situation is that I have a consultant appointment to review how I’ve got on with Zoladex (and, on the basis of my response, aid the decision making process on how much to do in surgery) booked

scared
I’m nearly 2 years on from a triple bypass and now need 2 full knee replacements. I can have them done when I like as I’m fortunate enough to have private healthcare. But I am so terrified of yet more surgery. Family and friends keep telling me it will be a ‘walk in the park’ compared to what I had before

Thank you and recent results
This community gave me so much support about a month ago, when I posted about untreated Hypothyroid in pregnancy. Unfortunately I miscarried a week later, and I won't have any way of knowing if my thyroid was really the cause. I've taken some time to recover, but wanted to come back here and say thank

Iron/folate results advice please

perimenopause and heart stuff!
at 49 I’ve finally realised the not sleeping and feeling head fog for the past years is not having a late child (7 now) and a stent (1.5 now), it’s perimenpause as I’m now getting a lot of hot flushes (heat not helping here!). Periods still normal if closer together. But I’ve also being having more

Zoladex and HRT
Spoke to surgeonSo my surgeon rang yesterday and explained why they aborted the hysterectomy on Tuesday. He said my cervix was fused to my bowel and possibly left ovary and my rectum had been pulled down too. He said it looked to be endometriosis that had been there a long, long time and they wouldn't

coming off oxicodone
Despite the victorious stopping of my RLS, i am still struggling with sleep. I have been taking 10mg of oxicodone. One dose at night. But it had been making me dog tired and zombie like during day. I have read lots on here about spreading the dose but i want to come off it. I am starting to cut it down

Hysterectomy, HRT and possible flare up
HI Ladies. So, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis when I was about 30 years old (Im now 45). I've had 2 laproscopys, 1 laperotomy and finally a total hysterectomy when I was 40. My ovaries were completely stuck to everything else around them, major pain, also had endo on my bowel, pretty much

Why has my TSH increased after several years of taking the same dose of Thyroxine?
Background - following RI treatment for an overactive thyroid I have been taking 75mcg Levothyroxine daily since 2015. At that time the consultant endocrinologist said that I should aim for a TSH of around 2. I have annual blood tests and the previous two years the readings have been 2.7 and 2.9
