Confused
I had my first appointment with an endo specialist today. I think I'm still in shock at the whole situation to be honest and am trying to sort things out in my head. I've just turned 40 and there's no history of endo in my family. I've been diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis. The endo is between

T3/T4 HRT Meds before surgery?
Hello lovely people, i hope everyone is managing to catch up on the long overdue sun ;) Sadly, my gynaecologist has found an ovarian tumour which needs to be removed and biopsied. Recovery from this will take between 6-8 weeks. I am in really good health otherwise but do take 150mg Levo and 45mg Liothyronine

Advise on TSH and FT4 results
Hi All, Last week, I had a liver fibroscan, and the nurse informed me I had no scarring. However, he noted that there is a lot of fat (CAP score 307). The nurse took some blood samples, including TSH and free T4, as well as vitamin D, iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. I already

Si Joint/back pain
Hi I have a history of back pain and endometriosis. I recently turned 50 and leading up to my period my si joint pain has suddenly got worse and it all goes into spasms and I literally can't do a lot. It's not great the rest of the month either. I had linked it to the menopause or back issues but

GP Coming - what to ask
having my annual review tomorrow and GP is coming to see me. Looking at all my past results I wonder, with them being up and down constantly, whether I am one of those whereby Levo no longer works for me and might be keeping me ill. Diagnosed back in 2005 and it's too far back to remember how I was

Info on NHS weigh management tier 3
Hi all, I’ve struggled with my weight since my 30s but now it’s out of control. I’ve done WW and SW but with no success, and cannot exercise. Six years I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have bone on bone arthritis in my right knee, however I was mobile. Now I’m six stone heavier, in constant pain

Update after GP call
Had my call with the GP that I mentioned in my last posts. That was a bit of a disaster, although not as bad as it could have been. She did not read my notes or blood test results before the call. She asked me about symptoms, but was only concerned about weight gain and dry skin. I had already gone

Advice on Blood results please?
Hi, I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid problems but have had numerous blood tests over the last 4 years because of severe menopause symptoms that have not responded to HRT. Would you be able to have a look and see what you think please? I have also included some of the vitamins tested.

Hi everyone, I've updated my story and where I am. Still struggling to move forward with severe fatigue episodes. Was put on low dose steroids for suspected adrenal insufficiency a couple of months back. I thought at first they were helping, now I am not so sure. Am struggling really to know whether
