Positive warrior
Hi new here. Little bit about me, diagnosed sept 2018 3c, had the normal rounds of chemo before complete hysterectomy, I consider myself lucky with the surgery coped really well and recovery was good, I can honestly say I have been very lucky to have had no horrible side affects with the chemo and surgery

Has anyone been to Spire Hospital fylde to have prolapse surgery? Or any positive experiences of surgery anywhere in northwest ?
Hi I have just discovered I have bladder prolapse and a slight bowel one. I am thinking of going for surgery privately because this has totally shocked me and made me feel so down . I had been experiencing slight bladder leakage when my bladder was full and if I coughed it laughed etc but nothing else

Vasectomy and ICSI
Morning ladies I'm looking for any personal experiences of vasectomy and ICSI. My current partner had a vasectomy over 10 years ago in his previous marriage. We've used donor sperm for the last few rounds of IVF - initially because I started IVF as a single woman after my marriage collapsed because

Can anyone help with getting my post read as I’ve sent it twice and had no responses. I’d just like some levo advice please
I’d so appreciate your comments because I’ve been managing Hashimoto’s with glandulars only so I’m a bit nervous about taking levo I’ve précised the post once as I thought perhaps it was ignored because it was rambling and unreadable. If this is the case with this third attempt please just say so The

Your thoughts please on suggested levo and thyroid glandular regime
I’ve been complaining for ever about static weight, sleep issues and other niggles but since metavive had nucleotides added I noticed more niggles (or an exacerbation of) and actual weight gain and so I had to decrease the dose to the point where they just weren’t enough A few weeks ago I began phasing

Does this sound ok?
My adult daughter was recently in hospital with a prolapsed disc and had a blood test which showed Hb of 10. Her GP did an iron profile and B12 as her uncle and grandfather had PA. B12 was 169 and ferritin 13 and HCT MCV and transferrin results abnormal. He is starting her on loading B12 injections

Hashimoto's and not feeling better
Hi there! I'm wondering if it is possible to just never feel better (lethargic, mentally slow, unable to concentrate/difficulty reading, fatigued, short of breath, etc) when having hashimoto's? Like do some people just feel bad for their entire life despite doing all the right things? I know other people

Is it possible to be deficient in nutrients, even if nutrient levels in your blood are optimal?
Just like thyroid hormones in the blood can be at optimal levels but may not be reaching the cells or may not be absorbed properly by the cells, I wonder if something similar could happen with vitamins and minerals. Vit. D3 65 (25 - 80) Vit. B12 1057 (180 - 914) Folate >20 (4.0 - 19.9) Ferritin 150 (

Interdependance of iron load and thyroid function
The interrelationship between iron load and thyroid function is pretty well accepted, but I post here a paper showing the effect in children (can extrapolate safely to adults I think). It underlines the need for good iron loading to help rule out or confirm hypothyroidism.

Help convincing surgeon
When I was officially diagnosed in sept 2019 with breast cancer ER negative HER2 positive and positive nodes. I had 4 months neojuvent chemo then due to lockdown had left breast and lymph nodes removed. This followed by a further 10 months of chemo and 20 sessions of radiotherapy. I know they removed
