Your opinion on some test results
I’d be very grateful for your opinion on where I’m at after an increase in Levothyroxine and some recent test results. I’ve included some past results to show a comparison. I feel an improvement in some ways, especially sleep, memory, brain fog, sweating and constipation, and I’ve been able to introduce

Who knows about ferritin/ iron tests? Confused here! Do I need to do something? Help please!
I get confused with ferritin and iron results, as I can't remember how they work together. Ferritin is low, but haemoglobin is ok? My GP marked everything 'normal'. I'd be grateful for some explanation and advice on what to do please! I have felt more tired. In fact absolutely exhausted a couple of

Low BP and more fluids
Hi. Since I haven’t filled in my profile yet I’d better fill in a few details here. I had breast cancer 4 years ago+ Mastectomy, chemo and Herceptin. I now have moderate HF with low EF caused by treatment. I am being treated with Ramipril and Carvedilol. I have no symptoms. But now my BP tends to drop

BB on the road
Ok lets get the tabs out of the way, Stilton 40mg Pred, also statins and blood thinners, done. Been noticing recently ( by the way I have flat foot ) which is on my left which is also the same leg as my total knee replacement. Apart from walking round looking like Michael Flattly ( river dance man)

Knee Revision Surgery
Hi everyone. I had total knee replacements about two and a half years ago and one has continued to have swelling and pain.it was initially put down to a rheumatoid flare but they’ve now taken X Rays and say that it looks like it’s come loose. They’re suggesting revision surgery which is more invasive

Same as Carole, “new....well sort of ; )”
Please forgive me for my poor English and have to quote some of Carole’s words to express my thoughts. I also having been a member since 2018 and have read your collective posts daily for over 3 years. I was always hesitant to write a post because of my poor English and always didn’t have good news.

Anyone else having a hysterectomy soon?
So I'm due into hospital on Monday for a complete hysterectomy. I've had 2 cesareans so I think I have a pretty good idea what recovery will be like. Praying that this will take the pain away. Anyway I was just wondering if anyone else would be having an operation soon so we could compare notes, swop
