Speechless by my GP’s response
I messaged my GP surgery and requested a full thyroid blood test (not just TSH which is all I’ve been able to get since COVID) as well as iron, vits B and D tests. I’ve been feeling really rotten, and want to look at every potential reason. Now, bear in mind I have been on HRT (prescribed by them) for

When does it go?!
Hey everyone. Would really love some positive replies 🤞 My story so far…. I had hip replacement in Feb 22…by Oct 22 I could not get out of bed….had to roll off onto the floor and loosen those muscles for around an hour or so. Tired all the time, sore in the glutes, hip area, neck and shoulders

Gp reduced dose to 100mcg and TSH has now risen to 2.1. However (my bio gives loads of symptoms) I'm feeling steadily

HRT with APS and Lupus
I was wondering if anyone takes HRT that has APS and or Lupus. I’m in blood thinners and on immune suppression drugs and also had a stroke so I’m not sure if this would be something I could take. Experiencing very low moods and crying a lot so thinking I’m peri menopausal. Thanks
