Rotablation
Hi all. Well 4 1/2 years after my bypass surgery I found myself with similar angina pains although things went slightly differently this time. At first I think I was in denial about the pain 'was it imagined' 'was it indigestion'? In the end I could ignore it no longer so last Monday (18th) I phoned

12 week scan. High risk for Edward's and Patau's syndromes. Any positive stories?
Hello, I had my 12 week scan (at 13 weeks) on Monday. The Nuchal Translucency was high 6.4 mm and combined with the blood test our risk of Down Syndrome is low 1:10000 but our risk of Patau's or Edward's is as high as it could be 1:2. I am 37 years old, so I realise I am at increased risk. Has anyone

Gastrointestinal inflammation with PMR
Hi, I am getting rather worried as I have developed gastrointestinal inflammation. I have polymyalgia rheumatica & have been taking prednisolone since Aug 2020 starting at 15mg & now tapered to 6mg. Anyone else haven’t have had the same problem?

Venetoclax and Stelara
Hello everyone, hope all is well? Just putting it out there if anyone has been on Venetoclax for their CLL and Stelara for Ulcerative Colitis at the sametime? Or can anyone recommend medication for Ulcerative Colitis while taking Venetoclax?

Cataract and stent op outcomes
Hi All Has anyone had cataract op and how did it go? I had super vision for 4 days and then apparently the lens moved and now it’s not that great. Because I can read the chart they say I can drive but beyond about 5 metres my vision is blurred so I won’t be driving. I know it’s only 11 days but I am

Running post sciatica
Hi All, I took up running after my CABG to help keep fit 2 years ago but I had a really bad bout of sciatica in Sept that completely stopped me in my tracks. I'm just getting to the point where I can walk 5K and am hoping I can start running again, leg and back permitting. Has anyone else been in a

Platelets dropping while on Zejula (Niraparib)
Hi Lovely Ladies. I went through two rounds of chemo for peritoneal CA. A few bumps along the way with a blocked ureter. A stent was inserted and I ended up in ICU with a kidney infection. (Sepsis). All good now in that regard except that my kidney function has been affected - they don't seem to be

Rosuvastatin verses Atorvastatin
Having had a coronary stent fitted in April I'm prescribed atorvastatin 80mg to clear fatty arteries. Would I be better off with rosuvastatin?

New to forum
New here! I get extremely restless achy heavy legs in the evenings particularly if I am tired. The only thing I have found that eases it is going to my bed and lying down. Is this a circulation thing more than restless legs I wonder?

Why the moaning about Ropinirole?
Hiya, can I, politely, obviously- ask why people object so much to Ropinerole. For me it is a lifesaver. Literally cannot live without it. I know that I am addicted but so are people to Diet Coke and so on and so forth, there are many other medications with side effects which are necessary to maintain
