Hi everyone I’m new here. Can someone help me settle a bit of an argument around TSH & T4 levels please? I have recently had a consultation with Newson health who tell me on 100mcg thyroxine my TSH should be <1. My GP is denying that stating my TSH is normal at 2.5. My T4 is 18.0. I have felt like

HRT question: how long did it take to feel the effects?
I have been struggling with crushing anxiety, insomnia, depression for a few months. It's unlike anything I have ever experienced. I started HRT last week, and am hoping for a little easing of symptoms soon! Just curious about other women's experiences. Please share!

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?

Results of MRI
So saw the endometriosis consultant today and he was very good. My MRI scan came back and showed extensive endometriosis that has obliterated my Pouch of Douglas and fully attached my rectum and bowel to my cervix. I've got an endo cyst on my left ovary and blood in left fallopian tube. Cervix is swollen

Help with blood results
I recently posted here for advice on whether I need levothyroxine as I have been subclinical for 10 years and now my tsh seems to be creeping up the last few weeks from 4.88 to 5.59 and now 6.15 all in the space of 3/4 weeks. I wonder if it is linked to the introduction of testosterone, I started hrt

I was recently diagnosed with afib and am taking Eliquis and propofenone. I am scheduled for a hip replacement in two weeks and am wondering if having afib makes the surgery more dangerous. Thanks for any advice or info.

Diagnosis and menopause
So yesterday was the day I got my scan done by the gynecology consultant she was very good and explained everything. I have alot of blood flow to my uterus and I have adenomyosis present in the back wall of my uterus. Part of me was shocked as I didn't think I'd have it deep down but It was confirmed

Hip Replacement
Has anyone had hip replacement surgery with a pacemaker. I have already had a hip replaced but that was before being diagnosed with Heart Failure and having a pacemaker. Just wondered if it is possible as I was told I would probably need the other hip replaced at some point. I have just started having

Ovaries or no Ovaries
I'm 46 next week and have recently been diagnosed with a large fibroid approx 15cm x 10cm and also an ovarian cyst. Consultant has recommended an hysterectomy as I'm also having severe bleeding during my period and am very anaemic. Hysterectomy is also being recommended as my mother had breast cancer
