I was diagnosed with CLL in 1998 after being monitored for high wbc for 4 years prior to the diagnosis. Due to enlarged under arm lymph nodes and wbc of 35000 I was treated after

Very confused by blood test results - grateful for help please
Hi All, Further to my previous posts, I continue to be very unwell, with my main symptoms being severe fatigue and disabling cognitive symptoms. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I do also have a diagnosis of CFS/ME (for what that is worth) which has fluctuated in severity for the last 22 years

Three months post surgery
I had a mastectomy three months ago. Overall it’s gone very well. However yesterday I started to feel incredibly cold and could not get warm. Took my temperature and it was 37.9. I still have some fluid around the scar but it’s manageable. However, now the fluid is firmer and it’s throbbing. It

At Last!
I finally got to run 4 miles on the NRC 10k plan this morning!! 😁 I was beginning to think it would never happen. Normal routine has been absent for what seems like forever. What with falling and hurting my ribs a couple of months ago, then having Mum to stop for a while following her total knee replacement

Lymphedema after mastectomy & sentinel node biopsy
Hello,I was wondering if anyone has experienced lymphedema in their arm 1 year + after a sentinel node biopsy. I had a hysterectomy procedure yesterday and they told me I can't have IV's, blood draws or blood pressure checks in my right arm because they removed lymph nodes. I had a colonoscopy in October

Underwent the "simple mastectomy" on Nov 1 on the right side. This is my third breast cancer surgery and sixth primary cancer overall.

A brief respite and now back with a vengeance
I suffer from restless legs syndrome and was prescribed pramipexole. I started a reduction program several months ago and by September I was down to half a tablet today. I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy 3 moths ago. Unbeknown to me the surgery temporarily raised my ferritin

Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS

Has anyone with endometriosis (particularly rectrovaginal) been fully cured after surgery?
Hi everyone, this is my first post on here - great to find a community who can finally understand the issues I am going through. I have had pelvic pain ever since I got my period 25 years ago, and have been misdiagnosed with so many different things, but finally had a diagnosis of rectovaginal endometriosis
