HRT after Endo and full Hysterectomy
Hi 2 years ago I had a full hysterectomy following having stage 4 endo which was everywhere but mainly 15cm chocolate cyst on my ovary and stuck to my bowel. Resulted in me having bowel surgery at the same time as my hysterectomy with a temporary stoma. I had a 3 weeks stay in hospital with complications

HRT or Thyroxine
I have had many symptoms and put it down to thyroid. I was hesitant to go on HRT because of my cancer history. I paid to go private using the Menopause guru as I wanted comprehensive knowledge and advice - not sure I’m allowed to say name). It was 300 quid well spent. 2 months in feel and I feel so much

edoxaban and hip replacement.
I’m a 66 year old woman, due to have a complete hip replacement in late Feb - have been looking forward to it for months. Always considered myself to be very fit and healthy. However, 8 weeks ago I found myself in A&E with a self-limiting episode of AFib, which lasted maybe 45 mins. I didn’t see a cardiologist

Iron test - unsure how to interpret results
I was advised to get a full iron test done after a test for thyroid levels was within range. I'm trying to determine the cause of severe fatigue and muscle pain, twitches, digestion issues, headaches, pins & needles. Does this measurement for transferrin saturation indicate anything I should investigate

Latest GP diagnosis is... I’m getting old! I'm 55! Help with next steps please… 😠
Hi everyone. So had my GP follow up since my previous posts. My ferritin is 26, which the GP informs me is the highest it’s been since they tested in 2017. She assures me it's fine as it’s ‘in range’ [10 – 180]. She insists I ‘categorically cannot have low B12 symptoms’ with an ‘above range’ B12

9 years in the menopause
Hi, I’m new here and have a question. I’m now 58 and had my last period when I was 49. I have been suffering hot flushes ever since. My hair is very thin on top which I’m not sure if connected. I’m also taking steroids for another unrelated condition (PMR) I have never taken HRT due to it linked to
