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

eGFR is falling
I had my 90 visit with my PCP and the bloodwork dropped from 32 to 31. I have been on Farixga and we had hoped to see an increase not a decrease. I am working on weight loss (down 8 pounds) for a future hip replacement where the doctor wants me at or below 250 pounds. My PCP seems to think this

Advice on talking to GP
Hello All I'm new here and looking for some help. I have all the symptoms of an underactive thyroid but according to my GP my thyroid is perfect! I had some private blood tests done as I can't access the ones at my GP surgery at the moment. Results were as follows: TSH 5mU/L (range 0.27 - 4.2); FT3

Should I have an ablation?
I had ohs (mitral
valve
replacement
) on jan 20th. I subsequently had atrial flutter twice in feb. On the first occasion it was stopped through meds and on the second I had cardioversion. I had no prior history of AF despite earlier OHS. I’m currently on 10mg of bisoprolol and 62.5mg of digoxin.

waiting for diagnosis
I’m losing the will I really am. 4 years I’ve been waiting for someone to listen to me. Bloods taken, no markers……… Latest GP, it’s your age, you are going through the menopause, have you thought about HRT? I kindly pointed out that it wasn’t the menopause 4 years ago when the consultant diagnosed

To do it or not to do it? Ablation and other things.
We often get asked "should I have an ablation?" and from time to time my answer has been "When the pupil is ready the teacher will come" meaning that when the AF is bad enugh you won't need to ask. This happened to me way back along when I declined the first offer of ablation but within six months was

I’ve had hypothyroidism for the last 7 years but I’m on my knees with symptoms again mainly anxiety, heart palpitations and fatigue and the obvious weight gain. Dr has said I’m peri menopausal

HRT newbie help! NHS appointment, finally!
I needed a post of my own after "130396"s post today about Utrogestan and Estradot. It's taken almost 7 months but my NHS phone appointment is finally around the corner now, next Thursday. GP was reluctant to prescribe HRT herself. My periods first stopped in September 2020, then made a reappearance

Recent test results 'Satisfactory' - NOT! - and any advice about supplements on which order to take?
I've just looked online at my latest test results and the top box from my surgery says 'Result -
Satisfactory
' and 'What you need to do -
No Further Action
'. Quick history... I've got hashimotos, diagnosed in 2018, started on levothyroxine in 2020, noticed significant hair thinning/loss

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years
