getting reading for HIP replacement #2
After the right in 2022, now it's time for the left. I'm not in horrible pain but I want to get it done so that I regain more ability to be active and workout, keep muscle mass (I'm 58), and continue to keep MS at bay. Just got the green light from the neuro. Ocrevus is delayed for 2 months to avoid

Fatigue
My challenge is that around the same time i was diagnosed with Pmr i was experiencing mobility issues which resulted in a hip replacement followed by a year later by a knee replacement on the opposite leg which I am now 6 month post op . I am not sure if my fatigue on effort is normal after the joint

Is It worth choosing a Doctor?
My neighbour has given me the name and contact information for a doctor he said is the best in my area for knee replacement surgery and said once I get a date for my surgery I can request that it is done by this doctor. I have looked at reviews and references online and they are indeed glowing, however

Was on Arava for 18 months but been off for 1 year due to hospitalisation for infection, also had bad gastrointestinal probs when on so was looking at coming off beforehand. My Rheumy thinks my symptoms don't 'match' my path results recently (been on pred for years) I am in a lot of pain shoulders

Shoe and shoe insoles
Hi all I'm hoping that I can get some suggestions about footwear or shock absorbing insoles. I have a bad knee (waiting for knee replacement op) and now have lower back pain. I'm going away soon and expect to walk lot more than I do at home. Any advice appreciated.

Studies comparing Levo mono vs Levo/Lio combo T4/T3 treatment
Batty1shared an article here https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/150566060/why-don’t-doctors-know-deal-with-this-hypothyroid-issue That lead me to a rabbit hole on the American Thyroid Association website. Sharing a summary of what I found to be a very comprehensive presentation of studies

Should I defer MRI
Hi. I have hip replacement op booked for 17 June.I have received cardiac MRI appointment for 26 June. I tried the MRI dept to ask if I should defer. They passed the buck back to Cardiology. I asked at the pre op assessment yesterday but again no clear advice. I usually recover quickly from surgery -

aortic valve stenosis
In 2022 I had a hip replacement following covid infection as it affected the synovial hip fluid and was then alerted to the fact that there was a problem with my aortic valve. I need to have aortic valve replacement and am currently on the waiting list. In my first consultation the cardiologist said

I got my date for my Op ! Excited 😊
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve

Diagnosed HBP Dec 2022. On Amlodipine 5mg since Jan 2023. All good as at May 2024.
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. Sitting long periods is no good = swollen ankles. Exercise resolves that within

Progesterone withdrawal
I got a BFN yesterday after a medicated FET so have now stopped all medication. I’m feeling a bit weird, headachy etc. has anyone else experienced withdrawals after suddenly stopping progesterone and oestrogen? I was on two Lubion shots, two crinone gels and five progynova tablets a day.

Struggling with week 8
I am completing week 8 run 2 and I've been exhausted this week. I've bought some electrolyte tablets and found they helped on the first run of thus week. I have been overheating and actually felt a little sick after a run last week due to having to do evening runs and the humidity. Anyone else running
