Will HRT( estrogen patch) take away hot flashes and feeling hot all the time especially in my face?
I'm about to start the estrogen patch in a couple days after I see my gyno. I have no estrogen due to the fact that I haven't had a period in over 20 years due to chronic anorexia. So I'm having severe hot flashes and I feel hot all the time especially in my face. She feels the HRT and the will give

Hot flashes from lack of estrogen
I have had anorexia for 27 yrs now. I'm 39 female. For the past 6 months or so I have been having severe hot flashes and I got my hormones checked at the gynecologist and she told me that I have low estrogen due to the malnutrition caused by the anorexia which is making my pituitary gland not produce

If these were your results what would you do?
So despite increasing my T3 dose my FT3 is staying at 5. My FT4 is falling. My symptoms are mostly in check these days but the fatigue and malaise is creeping higher again and it's starting to inhibit what I can do. (Noting that my estrogen is below range and I'm hoping to start HRT soon.) I'm sporadic

prostap hrt and hysterectomy
Hi Iām looking for some advice, Iāve always suffered with my periods since starting them. Iāve tried lots of different contraceptives and found Iām really sensitive. Iāve had 3 children and donāt plan to have any more. I had an ablation done in 2021 which reduced bleeding but made pain more intense

Hip replacement
Hello I think I have to have a hip replacement. I find it hard with polymyalgia to move my legs without stiffness even with the steroids. So I'm wondering if anyone has had a new hip whilst suffering and how it affects recovery with exercises? Any advice welcome. Thanks

what to do??
I am really struggling, I am wondering if I have hashimotos. Diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in march ( the day my dad died) just 6 months after losing my mother in law. Had gone to the drs thinking my HRT needed tweaking for my perimenopause symptoms. (Hair loss, brittle nails, weight gain, sweating

Will HRT help me?
I have been having bladder sensitivity and urge incontinence for about 3 years. I am 67 and postmenopausal for about 15 years. Is it too late to start HRT and if I did, would it make any difference now?

Any truth to Estrogen being out of the question for hypothyroidism?
I keep getting email adverts from Forefront Health. This week it is lots of terrifying statistics on how suspectable we are to breast cancer and other cancers. I didn't know we had an increased risk of breast cancer. They then go on to say we are almost always estrogen dominant and that we should

Advice please On thyroxine & HRT with abnormal very low oestrogen levels.
Feeling very exhausted of late, more than usual and very achy all over . I have fibromyalgia so symptoms all overlap so difficult to know what issue is causing these symptoms. Last thyroid results in June within range, no change in dose and still on 75mcg thyroxine. GP has since checked my Oestrogen

Aids post knee replacement
I'm due a total knee replacement next month. I already have an easy reach grabber, a leg raiser and a raised toilet seat from when I had a new hip last year. Are there other things that people have found helpful? Thanks š x
