If I Didn't Have Faith and Family Like You!
Now, I just shared my story about my weekend in NY seeing Chris Botti; now I'm sitting in the Family Waiting Room of Jefferson Hospital for hubby to get out of surgery. He kept complaining of bad back and stomach pain. Well, large Kidney Stone causing a blockage! He needed a different procedure; not

Depression and physical pain
My depression had improved a lot this year by changing to a more active lifestyle and changing jobs to be less isolated (among other things). But I had surgery for carpal and cubital tunnel and cannot work for a month. This is week 3 and my depression is getting worse from inactivity and isolation and

upcoming cataract surgery
Any advice? do I take prednisone after surgery since I will be fasting overnight? How long do I have to wait until I can bend over? Does it take longer to heal with prednisone? I'm on 3 mg.

Tricuspid regurgitation
Hi, I got the results from my Echo today and I have severe tricuspid regurgitation and was wondering if anyone could help with information. I have to wait to see a cardiologist but my doctor said that it might mean surgery. Would appreciate any information, Many thanks Heather x

Starting Statins.
I’ve had permanent AF for three years, now 78 and am on Apixaban and low dose bisoprolol as well as thyroxine and pramipexole for RLS . After recent blood tests Surgery decided I should be on Statins. Atorvastatin now perscibed but not started. Seems to be a safety net as Cholesterol is within normal

coming off all hormones
hi warriors. I’ve bled for 73 days now since my surgery on 6th October. I’ve had options from my surgeon and they would effect fertility which I don’t want to do so we discussed coming off all contraception and using tranexemic acid on heavier days of my natural cycle. How many of you have used

Oesophageal Sphincter
Hello. My wife had gastro-oesophageal cancer 12 years ago and had surgery to remove the cancer. Thankfully all was successful and she leads a very normal life. As one knows, post surgery one cannot lie down flat as the oesophageal sphincter has been removed thus causing acid to come up from the stomach

After 16 years of pain I've been referred to gynae...
I'm 27 and I've endured debilitating pain during my period and ovulation and flooding during my period. The pain and bleeding rules my life. I'm finally seeing a gynae in March which is still so far away. I wonder when I'll be offered surgery? For YEARS I've been told that it's just ibs. I've given birth

Advice Please, I am in a terrible state.
I am a mess. I was tapering my prednisolone from 3mg to 2.5 mg using a reduction over 14 weeks, starting 19th September and was progressing nicely. In November we travelled long haul UK to USA, journey no hassle, flights good. But, I did experienced emotional stress caused by a family upset while

pre diagnosis/waiting laparoscopy
I’m on the wait list for my first surgery for suspected endo and just wondering if anyone had any tips for coping whilst waiting? I feel so anxious waiting for a diagnosis even though all my symptoms point to endometriosis, experiencing so much pain but not knowing officially why is driving me crazy?

Open heart surgery and home!
So I wanted to say a big Thankyou to everyone who gave advice or has written posts in the past who have given advice on going through open heart surgery. Every single date I’ve had for surgery has been affected by the doctors strike and so I had begun to loose hope, when 12pm last Tuesday St Bart’s called
