"Honeymoon phase" in Hypothyroidism?
After a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition), there is often a “honeymoon phase” where a small percentage of the pancreatic beta cells continue to produce insulin for a period lasting from a few weeks, several months, to as much as 1-2 years. This honeymoon period continues until the

AF and knee surgery
Hello! I wonder if anyone can help… it looks like I need a knee replacement, and as I have AF I know the procedure would be done with a spinal block rather than general anaesthetic. However, I just wondered if anyone has experience of AF and knee surgery, and if so any advice/information would be much

Zoledronic acid infusion for osteoporosis- I have to consider this
To fill in some historic details: I was treated for many years by Katharina Dalton for Premenstrual Migraine and Sinusitis using natural progesterone (Gestone Injections). Successfully. I hadn't been able to work for nine years but after treatment started went back to work full time. When she retired

knee surgery and Atrial Fibrillation
hello, it looks like I’m in need of a knee replacement and wondered if anyone with A Fib has experience of this. I’m aware it would be carried out with a spinal block rather than a general anaesthetic, but has anyone had any problems post surgery? Thanks!

joint replacement and ibrance
I had a knee replaced on Sept 14. My oncologist took me off Ibrance two weeks before and I am supposed to startup again two weeks after the replacement. Has anyone else had this surgery and how long was your Ibrance delayed after the surgery? I am curious what other oncologists recommend as far as

Transplantable human thyroid organoids generated from embryonic stem cells to rescue hypothyroidism
This is another paper about the possibility of effectively re-growing thyroid glands. I've had a quick read (it has lots of complex detail so it very hard going). The issue not addressed, so far as I can see, is the applicability of this approach in those with the predominant thyroid disease

Endo and mega high levels of oestradiol...
My cognitive issues/brain fog/inability to learn new info/feeling confused and forgetful; they are getting worse and worse. I thought these would be menopausal but my blood tests today show that I am not menopausal at all. How can this be? My oestradiol levels are 1888 pmol/L and FSH is 6.8iu/L and LH

Rant!
I had possibly the worst GP appointment today in my life. His English was not good, combined with a lisp, it was virtually impossible to understand his questions. I finally sussed out that "blith" was blood. I had the results back from some blood work at a hospital (took 50 days to get the results

Is there a link between Avascular Necrosis and Hypothyroidism?
Hi everyone I have had left hip pain since May which has gradually worsened and had X-rays a couple of months ago. My consultant could not find much evidence of arthritic hip and sent me for an MRI scan. I saw him last week for the results and he said there was clear evidence of Avascular Necrosis

Newly diagnosed - what a shock!
I’m only six weeks into treatment - levothyroxine at 50mcg. First blood test showed ‘borderline’ hypothyroidism so GP ordered a follow up two months later. I’d had hip replacement surgery a few months before and GP thought this might have knocked things out of kilter. I was then feeling less fatigued

Different ALC numbers
So today I went for a pre admission appointment for my knee replacement. Had to have a CBC for that and my Gp had also ordered one . So they were both done on the same draw. For one the result was ALC was 90.4 and for the other 97.5. All other numbers were within the normal range. Just wondering how

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

T3 below range
Hi everyone, Thank you for all your help. Could you please look at my blood results. My T3 has been consistently lowering with each increase of levothyroxine. With each increase of levothyroxine dose the first 2-3 weeks felt good and my symptoms ( sore feet, Sore joints, fatigue, dry eyes flaky red

Hi guys I'm sero-negative. My big joints were affected first - had right knee replacement and hip replacement six months later aged 54 and although initially recovered well from knee replacement - couldn't sit to stand from chair, loo etc and couldn't get of crutches. Had lots of symptoms but still

Smartway pharmacy and T3
Well I finally had some joy from a pharmacy on the list on here. The Isle of Wight can only get it but it's too expensive so I tried Smartway. I emailed and rang a couple of others from the list but no reply . Smartway rang me back and the pharmacist was really lovely. He told me the cheapest way of
