HRT dilemma - switched from Oestrogel to Lenzetto, too early to consult Newson’s?
I’ve switched from 3 pumps of oestrogel to 3 sprays of Lenzetto. It’s only been a few days but my symptoms of insomnia for a start are worse. Now I wake up at 4am and don’t get back to sleep at all. So sick and tired of this. Also going to the loo more. I’ve been completely non-functional today. Too

TSH is just the 'opinion' of your Pituitary about your dose ~ but your Pituitary's 'opinion' is a bit warped once you take Thyroid Hormone.
These first two papers can be used to prove that on T4 monotherapy , a dose that is enough to 'satisfy' the hypothalamus /pituitary (ie. lowers TSH to the bottom end of the ref range) , does not necessarily provide 'enough' T3 to all the other tissues... some other tissues can remain hypothyroid despite

A paper which causes me significant concern. This is my blog which explains, I hope, my deep scepticism about existing prediction of required levothyroxine doses. [i]

Toes, ankle, and knee... oh my! My Dr. is buying a Ferarri!
Okay, it's lower extremities week, so far, I'll have the the hammer toes pinned (insurance approved) in December.

Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumour
Hi everyone, thanks for the nice support here in this forum. It has helped me so much. Following my laparotomy surgery last month (total hysterectomy, oophorectomy, appendectomy and omentum biopsy) I got the all clear. My frozen section and final pathology were both seromucinous borderline ovarian

Return after ovary removal?
10 years ago I had my ovaries removed after suffering from endo for several years. My quality of life improved immensely and I’ve been pretty much pain free since. I am on Kliovance HRT (1mg) and had the mirena coil fitted which is now 5 yrs old. I effectively had a medical menopause. When I had surgery

Zoladex NO HRT
I’m getting t my first Zoladex injection today. The doctor said I can’t take HRT with it because the whole point of Zoladex is that I have no hormones causing endo. I read here that many of you got HRT with Zoladex and I’m confused... I also wonder if Zoladex will be as hard on my mental health as hormonal

Slightly low TSH - have no idea if this means anything?
I am a total novice when it comes to thyroid tests! In January my HRT (50yo female) did not seem to be helping with my fatigue and joint pain so I had a range of blood tests. My B12 and Vit D were low so I have commenced the protocols for those. My serum TSH was 0.40 (0.30 - 4.20) which I see is in
