BUT, over the past couple of weeks I’ve had painful, sharp twinges when I put weight on the replaced knee. I’m getting quite stressed and worried, and am reminded of

Was I misdiagnosed with subclinical hypo?
Hi everyone. For background info, I'm 32 (female). This started in May this year. My gynae did some blood tests including a thyroid test since it runs in the family (I'm not trying to get pregnant). My results on 5 May were considered within range: TSH - 3.44 mIU/L (ref range: 0.3500 - 4.9400) Free

Recently diagnosed, chemo or not?
Hi everyone, I’ve read your stories and you all sound so brave and so positive but I’m fighting negativity as my experience of doctors has been pretty much all bad. I’ve been diagnosed with cancer of the uterus, both endometriod and high-grade clear cell carcinoma. Suddenly in May 2020, they decided

Floravital Iron Supplement
My last blood test showed i was low in iron. Iron 13.2micromel/L (11-30micromel/L) Ferritin 12.9UG/L (10-200UG/L) Folate 8.5microg/L (3.00-20.0microg/L) Serum transferrin 3.62g/L (1.8-3.6g/L) I opted to get floravital as i have gut and digestion issues and thought this would be easier on my stomach

Update test results after 2 month. I need help to understand if I’m going on the right direction!
Hi! I’m back after 2 month of my previous post. Last time I got wonderful advice. As my B12 was low I contacted my GP and after more test, I was suggested to get B12 vit once pernicious anemia was discarded. In the last 8 weeks I’ve been taking: Vit K2, Vit D, B12, Iron, Folate and T convert. I maintain

I suffered massive traumas, abuses at the hands of several pervert men, abuses from parents, bullied etc... how i made it this far is beyond me. Edit: These abuses were in childhood and are for context that i suffered

Does anyone have any post hysterectomy advice please?
Hi everyone, to give a bit of background, I finally got diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis about 6 years ago after 7 long, heartbreaking and frustrating years of pain and infertility. Since being diagnosed I've had 3 laps and have been on zoladex 3 different times spanning almost two years in total
