Anxiety Struggle
Good morning, well here goes another day. As soon as I wake up I think I can hear my heart pounding and just seem anxious all day. I was taken off Citalopram back in March following a heart event (not a heart attack but diagnosed with CAD with a narrowing in my LAD, no stent needed at the moment). I

Risk of surgery?
Hello, my husband has chronic liver disease and splenomegaly , thrombocytopenia and neutropenia associated with haemachromatosis and NAFLD, he is due to have a hip replacement in the next few weeks and I’m worried about his risk. I wanted some idea of views from people that are in a similar situation

surgery and Ibrance
Morning all, , I was wondering if anyone has had knee replacement and had to go off Ibrance. I had to stop taking it 4 weeks before, and 6 weeks after surgery. I put off the surgery as long as I could because I was so nervous to go off the Ibrance. I continued letrozole and all other meds . I have a

Latest thyroid bloods & iron panel…
I’ve just got my latest bloods back and this confirms I need to reduce my Levothyroxine. It’s a similar result to last time and shows my T4 to be too high. I was on 150mcg T4 only: TSH: 0.005 Free thyroxine: 33.5 (12-22) Free T3: 5.88 (3.1-6.8] Previous bloods from mid July tell the same story…

A paper on the approach to optimization of hypothyroid therapy including combination therapy.
This new paper (downloadable) examines the problem of trying to optimally prescribe thyroid hormones for hypothyroidism. It's very technical, but the conclusions may be of interest. It uses a modelling system to try to gain an insight into good prescribing. Front. Endocrinol., 24 June 2022 https:

Pelvic Inflammation and BCR
Just read the below the other day and then I went back to look at my inflammation numbers from CRK and Sed Rate. Just to step back in time a little, I had low T and was on SRT for years before diagnosed with PC. After learning about the role of E2 in PC, I see that my NP didnt really have a control on

Hot sweats - solution
Following on from my previous post applauding my marvellous Rheumy… She got me an appointment with an Endocrinologist this week, and he came up with an amazing solution for my hot sweats! (Sarcasm alert) Background: My GP stopped my HRT in 2019 when I was diagnosed with GCA and absolutely refuses

Total hip replacement
Hi Everyone. Just wanting to know if anyone of you who have had a hip replacement went privately anywhere in Bedfordshire or very nearby. Any recomendations and experiences would be a great help. Also did any of you pay for just an initial consultation and they did it under NHS. Thanks cmjoyce

Wrong diagnosis?
Hi, Two weeks ago my GP called to do an unscheduled HRT annual review. I’m 50, not on other meds and quite fit. She said feeling sluggish was normal for folk with Hyperthyroidism, I nearly fell over in shock! Apparently I’ve had hyperthyroidism since 2014 which was diagnosed by 5 annual tests of undetected

Wife's hip replacement
Wifey needs a new hip, something that at different ages, the recovery can be different, on other people. She's having it done privately, and info so far suggests in and out-same day. Would this be right. She will be sore after, so presume she'll be dosed up with painkillers. So, when does the pain

hypothyroid following partial thyroidectomy. Question about HRT and optimum T4 levels.
Dear forum, I am 58. 3 months ago while having parathyroid adenoma removed, I also had partial thyroidectomy. This was because thyroid nodule was discovered during scans looking for the adenoma. The nodule was examined and contained micropapliiary carcinoma. No further treatment needed for that thankfully

Looking for recommendations for functional doctor in UK competent with adrenal fatigue, subclinical hypothyroid, HPA axis, digestion
hello, I live in France and cannot get the kind of up to date help I need here, apart from a naturopath who advises on supplements. Apart from getting my nodules scanned and biopsied my GP is not interested. I need to consult with someone remotely in English and do all the tests they need by post
