Severe breathlessness
Hey everyone hope you all having a nice stress free evening.I'm probably doing what most of us do and jumping to conclusions about symptoms being heart related, I get sooo breathless walking up the stairs and even lying down at night wake up so breathless, I also feel so exhausted I have told my cardiologist

HRT for Osteoporosis
Hi everyone, Has anyone in their 30s been put on HRT for their osteoporosis? If so, what are the benefits, risks and side effects? I'm not clear what it even does. I have tried looking it up online and can only find advice for people going through the menopause!

Different ALC numbers
So today I went for a pre admission appointment for my knee replacement. Had to have a CBC for that and my Gp had also ordered one . So they were both done on the same draw. For one the result was ALC was 90.4 and for the other 97.5. All other numbers were within the normal range. Just wondering how

Gadget recos?
As much as I've been trying to talk myself out of wanting a sports watch or fitness tracker, I keep going back to wanting one... I currently use the NRC app on my iPhone together with the iHealth app (or whatever its called) - and they don't work for heart rate training, for example. I've read that

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help me with these results. I am currently on 100mg Levothyroxine and feeling like all of my Hypothyroid symptoms are coming back. I also take HRT oestrogel and Ultogestan progesterone, I take these much later in the day so as not to affect my Levothyroxine which I take first

Need advice on thyroid and HRT issues
I’ve got a TSH stuck close to 0 for some time now. Currently on 75/100. GPs just want to keep lowering Levo. NHS Endo not interested. However I have a follow up with them later this month. Previous private Endo doesn’t specialise in female hormones and was a private consultant so not attached to a hospital

Does anyone else over 60 with Glaucoma pay for eye lubrication in the UK ?
Apparently North East Essex patients have to pay for eye lubricants, also some areas of Somerset. Does anyone else ? It would be very useful to know. HRT now only costs £20 a year available to all women (probably only needed for a few years), so why not all Gaucoma medications ? Is lifetime conservation

I’ve posted a lot of results here as I don’t know what you would need for a clear understanding. Sorry I’m new here and have been in surgical menopause ages 37 so I’m trying to keep and eye on my health since then and adding back HRT I’ll try and add the extra results from bloods in comments?? Xx

I have been prescribed Adcal- D3 as the medication I have been prescribed for breast cancer has been known to cause osteoporosis. (Anastrozole). I have several questions: 1. Adcal-D3 contains soy oil - I thought soy contained plant oestrogen which was similar to human? Is it safe to take given my

Exhaustion
Is exhaustion just something we have to put up with if you have PA? I’m SI Hydroxocobalamin twice a week with folate supplements , in between getting it from my GP every 2 months. I’m taking a B complex with 5 mg of B6. Potassium is fine, ferritin on the up 65 but I’m still taking gentle iron supplements

Knee replacement
I have ET and am concerned about getting knee replacement surgery and the chance of blood clots. I read that the average blood loss is 800 ml. Has anyone gotten this surgery and how did it go?

Female Testosterone Replacement Users
My endo has suggested I replace very low levels of testosterone with Androfeme, to complement my existing HRT package of Lenzetto and Utrogestan. After learning Androfeme costs £150.00 upward, and that my NHS GP already has female patients supplementing testosterone, I approached him to take on my prescription
