HRT for Osteoporosis
Hi everyone, Has anyone in their 30s been put on HRT for their osteoporosis? If so, what are the benefits, risks and side effects? I'm not clear what it even does. I have tried looking it up online and can only find advice for people going through the menopause!

Severe mitral regurgitation
A few months ago I saw a consultant who decided I needed

repair or
replacement
with open heart surgery. They then decided this would be too risky for me and that I should have keyhole surgery.

Need advice on thyroid and HRT issues
Iāve got a TSH stuck close to 0 for some time now. Currently on 75/100. GPs just want to keep lowering Levo. NHS Endo not interested. However I have a follow up with them later this month. Previous private Endo doesnāt specialise in female hormones and was a private consultant so not attached to a hospital

Does anyone else over 60 with Glaucoma pay for eye lubrication in the UK ?
Apparently North East Essex patients have to pay for eye lubricants, also some areas of Somerset. Does anyone else ? It would be very useful to know. HRT now only costs Ā£20 a year available to all women (probably only needed for a few years), so why not all Gaucoma medications ? Is lifetime conservation
