Can I change, improve?
Can I really make what has proven the very hardest, change in my life, right down to my relationship to disturbing thoughts and feelings, and to the maladaptive behaviors that have plagued my life and kept me mired in suicidal depression and anxiety? It is the very nature of depression and generalized

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Tired of Negative Thoughts
I have developed a fairly good set of tools to deal with my anxiety. However, sometimes, my internal dialogue is just so negative - I can see risk and bad things in any situation, no matter how trivial - that I feel helpless against the thoughts. There are too many of them and they overwhelm my efforts

Need a group therapy or people to chat about social anxiety disorder. Thanks
Hi, I am EL and suffer from social anxiety disorder. I am introverted and fear being exposed to the public, interacting with people for more than a few minutes, or even struggle looking at people in the eyes. I tend to get my hands and armpits sweaty when I get anxious along with shortness of breath.

post-op bloating
hi, I have endometriosis and Adenomyosis and had a total hysterectomy about 8 weeks ago. The surgery was quite complicated and took a long time due to the amount of scar tissue that had to be removed. As they didn’t remove my ovaries I’m now taking dienogest to help prevent the Endo from coming back

ELF score 8.3
I have had several elastography tests, the last one the same week as I took ELF test. It was 4.8kpa, but ELF test shows moderate fibrosis (8.3). Its seems ELF test is more accurate, because on this forum I have found several people who feel smth is wrong with their liver that have normal elastography

any way to increase ferritin without increasing iron saturation?
after two months of taking iron supplements (75mg every other night on empty stomach), my ferritin rose from 51 to 158. Unfortunately, my iron saturation rose from 46% to 59%. This is caused by fairly high iron (172) and fairly low transferrin (291), though both are within normal range. My doctor

Ferritin and TSI results.
Hi, I haven’t posted for a while as I have been investigated following a positive faecal occult blood test. They have found a large polyp in my caecum which I am having removed on Friday. For some unknown reason, I have had a few months of remission from my RLS but now they are ‘kicking off’ again.
