Question for those who are stented
Hello I'm sure this has been asked several times but I've had a look and cant find an answer on here. In January 2023 I was stented due to a blocked LAD artery. My other arteries were healthy and fine and the blockage was believed to be caused from a clot due to Antiphospholipid syndrome. My question

Hydrocodone?
My doctor is prescribing hydrocodone for help with my restless legs during plane flights, in addition to my regular meds, ropinirole and pregabalin. Has anyone had experience with this? Thank you.

Conundrum Gastrin
Hi everyone, does anyone have advice when trying to increase weight when diagnosed with Intestinal Metaplasia and Hyperplasia. I have been doing some research regarding the damage that Gastrin can do when it doesn't switch off (NET's tumours) because of low stomach acid and as the Gastrin is activated

PMR again ?
I stopped pred on 8th October after 4 years and was OK until now. I have developed stiffness and aching in hips down to knees and am wondering whether the PMR has come again due to stress. I was diagnosed with breast cancer on 11th October and am currently on Letrozole to (hopefully !) shrink the tumour

Alternative to a Stent
Hi everybody, I just read this article by John Crace in the Guardian. He had a heart attack about a week ago and then had an Angiogram. He mentions that he expected to have a stent fitted to resolve a blocked artery, but instead the cardiologist used a drug to remove the blockage. I had not heard about

A tooth with a life of it's own!
Hi, all. I wrote in several months ago about a painful tooth. My dentist couldn't find anything wrong with it. He finally referred me to an endodontist, and he did a root canal. Found several issues. Would have been nice if that had been the end of it, but no! The pain would not go away, and I

Interesting Article (please read)
came across this article today and would like to know your thoughts: i was swayed by flashy advertising in the late 1990s featuring medical stars like Professor Lord Winston, who convinced me that omega-3 fish oil supplements were essential for my brain and my heart. Fast forward to today, and

buprenorphine study
Just wondering what people think about the recent study below? Study population was people with opioid use disorder (OUD) who are taking buprenorphine to manage it. Apparently an unusually high percentage of participants had RLS symptoms. I thought Bup alleviated symptoms? I’m in the process of getting

Co-codamol any good for RLS or PLMD?
I asked my GP for buprenorphine. He gave me co-codamol. Does anyone have any personal experience of this opioid? I'm not in pain, but have PLMD. I'd love to know if anyone has used co-codamol - and how they took it - and what their experience of it has been.

Pain management
Dear Friends: I am currently taking 20mg Methadone daily for RLS and will have painful hand surgery soon. Because Methadone blunts effects of opioids I am concerned about pain management. Any ideas how best to handle? Thank you.

Post nstemi.. liver bloods?
So in December 2023 I had an nstemi (have a stent fitted).Today I went for a blood test to check my cholesterol levels, kidneys and liver function. I assume because of all the meds I'm on. This evening I get a text to say to book a "routine appointment" with my GP to discuss liver bloods. I rang and

1 year on from heart attack and stent fitted. Still struggling.
I walked to the hospital for an appointment today, for a pre-op for a knee replacement. The hospital is only half a mile. On the way back I was out of breath and experiencing pain in the top left hand side of my chest and light-headed, and I had to sit and catch my breath. At the pre-op they checked

Such sad emotions after coronary heart disease diagnosis.
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with coranary heart disease with a 100 percent block in RCA. The cardiologist opened this up as far as possible but unable to place a stent because the artery was to narrow. The cardiologist doctor also told me they are not to concerned about this because there is

Female heart attack
Hi, I had a heart attack on 1st March. I am shocked and still in a bit of disbelief. I am a 53 year old woman and always thought I was pretty healthy. I'm not obese, I don't smoke, I probably could exercise more and eat more healthily. I am pretty active. I have had alot of stress lately. My LAD was

flying
how soon can you fly after having stent fitted , and is it not advisable to fly long haul . Also can anyone recommend a travel insurance company that doesn’t charge a fortune, but still covers for this ? Thanks

post heart attack and stent insertion
my partner had heart attack and stent inserted at the end of January. Nothing but trouble since in that it seems the medication has some effect in constant dizzy spells and light heads, so extreme that he cannot leave the house and isn't eating as much etc. He has been taken off ramipril altogether.
