Private dexa scan
Hi all, I am 37 and been perimenopausal for well over a year. My mother has arthritic hips and knees which resulted in a double hip replacement a decade ago. Is it worth getting a dexa scan now? If it is; is there anywhere in the South West I can get one done privately?

Menopause/HRT Question.
I recently changed over to the Evorel 50 HRT patches from oral HRT tablets, well what a waste of time, they are absolutely useless. They wont stay on even though I put a sticky plaster and surgical tape on over the top. I used 4 in a week! They are definitely not for me. I had a consult today with a

Limited Scleroderma, Autoimmune issues, thymoma, metal implants in joints
I'm wondering if anyone has limited scleroderma and autoimmune issues, AND have had to have metal implants in any joint due to failed fractures? In May 2022 I stupidly tripped over my dog, fell heavily flat on my front onto a concrete floor, fractured my left kneecap and left wrist (radius). Both fractures

Hi everyone. I just at my wits end and wondered if anyone can help?’! Diagnosed with vestibular migraine 10 years ago by default as they did every test imaginable both ENT and Neurological and decided it had to be that and gave me propranolol and the following day it was a miracle.

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Security Scanners
I have had two unicompartmental knee replacements. Am I likely to set off security alerts going through scanners etc? If so, should I tell security first before I go through the arch?
