Surgery
Starting next week I am having to do a 2 week pre operation diet. This consists of either 4 pints of semi skimmed a day or up to 1000 calories worth of low fat yogurt. The diet is to shrink my liver before gaul bladder removal surgery. I am anxious: I want to get it right. I am not sure what option to

Psychiatrist fired daughter as patient over thyroid! (Or maybe because of her pushy mom regarding thyroid...)
We are in the US. We had a follow up appointment with the psychiatrist last week for my teen daughter. He has made no medication adjustments in over 5 months...just wants to keep things as they are. Her mood has been *more* stable, but she still has some periods of hypomania, and the depression isn't

Total Knee Replacement Surgery
Hi All, Well, I'm going to have Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery for my left knee soon and I'm a bit leary about it due to my ataxia. My neurologist says to have it, as he wants me to keep moving. I haven't really been able to, as I'm in so much pain, especially when I walk with my cane or rollator

Hashimotos / Hypothyroidism and Cholesterol - Should I be concerned?
Hi everyone. This community is great, and I'm happy to have found it. Some of you may recall I posted a couple months ago and shared my blood levels. I have been told I'm hypothyroid / Hashimotos (or borderline heading there). Until recently I have not paid too much attention to my cholesterol levels

Should I stop prolia?
Have been on prolia injections for 5 years since breast cancer and double mastectomy followed by 3 months of chemo. Next Prolia Due 7/2019. Wasn’t informed of possible side effects but have been researching prolia past 9 months due to feeling like “crap” with no obvious explanation. Have decided to refuse

Really struggling
So I am now 7 weeks post op from a total hysterectomy including tubes and ovaries. This was completed as a final attempt by my gynae to reduce my debilitating pain from my endo. They found adeno when operating so gynae was very hopeful that this would fix the pain. After the op for the first 2 weeks

Mammograms
My oncologist doesn’t feel mammograms are necessary since I’m being treated for MBC. I’ve had a partial mastectomy of my right breast, chemo and radiation in 2005. It metastasized to both lungs in 2016. I had massive chemo again. Now I’m on Letrozole and Ibrance and everything is stable. But I wanted

Stomach cancer confirmed
Although I was expecting this result It is still a bitter pill to swallow. Now the medical team will discuss my options. I may get to know their opinions in 5 days day. The thing is - what option would or should I choose if offered? 1) Gastrectomy if the surgeon is willing to take the risk at my age

Immediate Reconstruction Worries
I was diagnosed with DCIS 2/13/2019. I had a bilateral mastectomy on 03/14/2019 with immediate reconstruction of cohesive silicone implants. My implants are tight, pinching on one side and the other side I can feel the implant in on the side of my rib/chest wall. I need to note I am a obese female.

Is this due to low iron??
Fasting blood test, 9am Taking 50mcg levo, 20mcg t3 Have been cleared of pituitary issue through mri. Vitamins optimal except iron—— Serum 13.1 (7-26) Transferrin 2.68 (2-3.2) Ferritin 45 (5-204) Sat 20% (20-60) Does Janie bowthropes article on pooling and iron reflect what might be happening to me??

Blood test results (probably Hashimoto’s)
Hi all, I have suspected Hashimoto’s and a referral for an endocrinologist. But I want to go there informed, so I ask for any insights. Sorry in advance for the ramble - I’m noting down anything that may be of relevance!... there are some test results at the bottom. I have always struggled to keep weight
