Hi Kathy
Lije yourself I have thyroid disease. Was diagnosed Hypothyroidsm in 2010 take 75 mg levothyroxine and this year in march post menopause as no periods for two years. As you will read in previous posts Kathy it really is trial and error. Whatever something agrees with one person might not with another. Im currently self medicating with sage pills for sweats , turmetic for my aches and pains. So far so gd I also take kelp for Iodine. Because im mostly in pain in the morning very stiff and back ache big time. I wear an actipatch on my back all night and this has helped me. Twice a week I have a bath rather than shower in bath salts gd for aches and
pains. Gd luck hope this info is some help..

Hi Kathy
While your waiting for your results try & give yourself a little body boost. Blueberries are an amazing immune boost. I have just started eating them each morning with yoghurt & a teespoon of honey. I buy the frozen packets (350g) & eat 1/2 each day! There was a programme on telly last week on how great they were at cleaning up our bodies inside!
Worth a try but you need to eat them every day!
Please keep us posted on how you get on!
Hi kathy loads if ladies in here to help we havelotsof remedies for you to try. Best of all we support one another which is great when you need a lift. Try omega fish oils they are great for joints your insides skin hair and nails. Vitamin c is great for renewing collagen and keeps your skin elastic. Lavender in your bath water is calming and soothing. Keep smiling we are all in it together x
Hi Kathy. (1) What are your TFTs readings now?
(2) What medications are you on?
(3) What are your worst menopausal symptoms?
(4) What is your position on HRT?
Thanks. Good luck.
Hi Andrew
why do you ask Kath these questions ? she is still under her own GP and undergoing tests she says..
i see your profile you say you are a GP in ireland , but you dont say which practice are you GMC registered ?
I dont know of any GP's that would comment on forums this way..
and any ladies that takes advice of an annoynomus doctor would be putting her self at risk...,
We are a group of ladies talking to other ladies sharing very personal experiences about menopause .. I doubt you have any personal experiences as a male....
HRT should never be talked about from annoymous doctors on line women need care in this area and Gyno advice
we talk about our experiences as women to women... ( natural remedies, HRT via own experiences, and our own menopausal symptoms)
Followed Linked in link, unless a member cannot see profile so question is raised what is he hiding?
The other site on his profile is a paid for consultation one. Feel only here to promote that and make money, otherwise why bother to put on profile?
Hi Taz
yes .... Links and more links ... we arent looking for a vastectomy ...
and men should respect we talk as sisters on here and butt out ..
jay xx
As you say why these questions when Kath has made it quite plain she is undergoing tests. This makes them unhelpful and merely adds to confusion and stress.
It also unethical to interfere with another Dr, so as you say butt out
Thanks ladies for banding together against a possible ? Andrew66395 .How does he chose his victims kindof scary so many people on here but he selects whom and based on what? I appreciate your help so much( tearing up) girlpower lol. Been sick last 2 days, barely any sleep, and biopsy was yesterday so neck sore and just aching all over cannot . Told by the Dr who did my FNA 30% chance of inconclusive ..(sigh) no more last round for me 3 is enough so hope this one yields better results. Have to go now need to rest never got any yesterday after ny procedure, soooo exhausted should have rested like i was told but too much to do so paying the price today feel 100 yrs I hope whomever this man is he is not trolling and selecting certain vulnerablities on here..kinda creepy ya think? WARM HUGS to u all be back soon be safe and be well
P.S I noticed he has not replied since you got at him..hmmm??? I checked his profile only replied to a few posts but following more discussion groups it appears. Anyway just skimmed it but sounds more like trolling to meLOL There is my daily chuckle needed it! X
I notice he has not replied but how did he get on here it's for women not men. !!!!
