Gp ringing me in the next 2 hours, assistance please!
Hello, Because I've gone downhill in the last few days I called again to speak to someone, this is after my sending in a letter last week with bloods and being ignored (fobbed off, dismissed). Now I'm hot and cold sweats, low level tingling, dry tongue (electrolyte ususally help but not now) unsteady

CRT pacemaker
Hi everyone, this is my first post. I've been diagnosed with LBBB and am due to have a CRT pacemaker in the next few weeks (hopefully). I had no symptoms and it was only diagnosed following a pre-op assessment for a hip replacement I should have had in February - now postponed until the heart is stable

edoxaban and topical diclofenic gel?
I’m in miserable levels of pain after a hip replacement 6 weeks ago. Before I had my surgery the pain was well managed by meloxicam and amitriptyline but then I had my first episode of AFib and they thought it may have been triggered by those drugs. So I was started on the holy grail of Bisoprolol,

TSH how long for suppressed TSH to return to normal after stopping T3?
I saw a ‘hormone specialist’ GP today. Again she tried to tell me I need to reduce my levothyroxine because of my suppressed TSH. Only saw her because she’s meant to be good with HRT, but she’s gone mad about my TSH. My FT4 is only 48-% through range, so if anything, I’d like to increase my levo!

Struggling to get a definite diagnosis
I was originally diagnosed with PMR in May 2021 by a very helpful GP. All was well for the first few months but on reducing I hit a wall at 8mgs. When I went to see GP I was disappointed that she had moved on but not particularly worried. How wrong I was. Over the next few months I was told to increase

HRT and cirrhosis
I have heard conflicting opinions as to the safety of HRT and cirrhosis. I have cirrhosis. UKELD score 48. KPA score 37.5. My GP has changed my (low dose) HRT to a gel and tablet: Gel = Oestrogel 80g . Tablet = Medroxyprogesterone 5mg. The enclosed leaflets, however, say ‘do not take’ if you have

Discrepancy in test results on same dose
I’ve recently had two blood tests - one at the GP surgery, and one at home fingerprick test with Monitor My Health. They’ve come back with quite different results (for FT4, at least) despite being on the same dose, tests done at the same time of day under the same conditions (24 hrs after levo, T3 dose

Overweight with a high BMI
I have stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis with bowel and bladder adhesions and cyst's on both ovaries.My consultant is really good, however he has specified that I need to get my BMI down to 35 or below before I'd be considered for a full hysterectomy (I've already waited over three years for one)

Menopause alternative to HRT
I am looking for advice regarding Black Cohosh. Has anyone successfully taken this for Menopause? I am worried if I try it it may effect Levo.
