Diagnosis of Sigmoid volvulus 3 weeks ago and an emergency operation via colon righted it temporarily.
I am recovering slowly from the shock of the above diagnosis. The surgeon said he will have to do a major abdominal operation (which he is reluctant to do whilst I am on Prednisolone, I was on 6 mg 3 weeks ago but now on 5mg) as healing and infection could be post operative problems. So I saw my Rheumatologist

I have been suffering with severe bouts of pain, in particular at night time, and have discovered that I need two hip replacements due to osteoarthritis. I took a codeine based product

steroids and hip replacement surgery
I’m on steroids for PMR and have had to go back up to 15 for a flare. I’m due to have a hip replacement hopefully in the next couple of months. My question is will it still go ahead while I’m on them.?

So frustrated that endo told me my hypo symptoms are social, emotional and psychological
After 11 months I finally saw an endocrinology registrar to go over my blood test results and symptoms. I am on 150mcg thyroxine and 40mcg of liothyronine, after 7 years on NDT which I came off in January 2021 to return to the 'NHS way' of T4-only therapy (the price of NDT was becoming prohibitive plus

Oestrogen only HRT
