Caffeine / pregabalin / conflicting advice
I am under Professor Walker at Queen Square, a specialist for RLS. I am on Pregabalin (300mg before bedtime). But also on Citalopram for HRT, which he said should be switched to Bupropion as it worsens RLS. Unfortunately he did not give an amount, so my GP had to phone the "hot line" to a bank of

Genetic osteoarthritis especially in my knees, was using magnesium spray, but since on Radiotherapy PC sessions, wet weather, suggestions?
Have had genetic osteoarthritis in my knees for decades, my Uncle and Brother have both had knee replacements, but have been advised by friends [and brother] find alternative relief solutions! Maybe it is because of PC radiotherapy treatment or wet weather ALWAYS worst time of the year, but particularly

Help with getting medication
Hi so this was my blood results a month ago. GP told me I’m sub clinical and even though I have symptoms because they’d just prescribed me HRT because of aching, anxiety, tiredness, hot flushes in bed they said I had to try that first to see if it worked. Anyway the hot flushes have eased but nothing

Apparently Total T3 doesn't matter?
After a long battle of getting the GP's to check T3, finding it was low and them increasing levo (from 75mg to100mg) - my results are TSH 1.3 (range 0.23-5.6) Free T4 - 18 (range 9-23) Free T3 - 4 (range 3.1-6.8) Total T3 - 1.2 (range 1.3-3.1) Vit D 53 (range 50-139) I've lost my previous results

HRT, any thoughts please
I spoke to a doctor about trying HRT for my menopause symptoms. He said because my blood pressure was high, it's now normal using medicine and walking and because l am over weight. I am at a group and have lost 3 stone. He said he wouldn't recommend it for me because of increases in breast cancer, also

Open heart surgery
I’m slightly anxious about my upcoming surgery for a mitral valve replacement and repair of atrium valve plus bypass on 16 January. I suffer from COPD. My worries are not actually about the heart side of the op, I have an amazing Clinical Lead who is extremely capable of this op. Amazing and clever

Help interpreting results & likelihood of diagnosis if I saw a private practitioner.
Good afternoon, I’m at my wit’s end and would very much appreciate help interpreting recent blood tests and symptoms. I previously posted a few weeks back with details of private tests carried out with Monitor my Health on 24/1/23. They were as follows: TSH 4.74 mu/L (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 13.9 pmol/

Menopause
I am 52 and going through the menopause and finding it difficult. I have been told by professionals that I can not have HRT as I have a family history of breast cancer and blood clots. I am just trying to deal with my symptoms with no help. I hate the mood swings, I suffer with depression and anxiety

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
