dreadful itching….suggestions?
This used to happen every so often but now it is all the time. My lower legs itch until I want to draw blood scratching them. I don't know how to get relief. I have just stood with the cold shower running over them and then covered them in Lanacane but even that isn't helping these days…..it keeps me

Rivaroxaban v warfarin
Hi. My GP rang me yesterday and wondered if I would be interested in going on to Rivaroxaban. I know this is one of the new drugs but I have been on warfarin for 13 years! She said it would avoid having my INR done and I would not have to worry about testing when we went away. But to be honest that

Two weeks into Pred - then!
As I previously reported my GP started me on15mg on January 2nd which appears to be approximately the correct dose. I am having no issues but will see my doctor tomorrow to see what he has in mind for me. Any little tips on what to ask for my first visit to my doctor would be appreciated? I had meant

Off Warfarin and restarting
Came off warfarin due to having two colonoscopies two weeks apart. I'm on warfarin for afib permanent. I'm taking 75ml of heparin innohep daily to bridge. Going to have another colonoscopy again in two weeks and then restart warfarin again. Consultant said it's pointless going on and off warfarin and

Decapeptyl has stopped working?
Hi all. I have been having monthly decapeptyl injections since the summer and my Consultant has said he would like me to stay on them for as long as possible. I am also taking Indivina HRT. I am due my next injection on Wednesday. For the past few days I have had that familiar gnawing burning pain on

Can low INR cause depression/mood swings/anxiety?
Hi, with the help of my clinic nurse we are nearly on track with getting the correct warfarin dose to get my INR within its target range (2.5-3.5), however my husband and I have noticed when it drops below the range I am depressed, anxious and moody. It's really causing problems. Before I started warfarin

Pulmonary embolism
Hi this week I have been diagnosed with 2 pulmonary embolisms one on each lung. I am 29 years old & this was caused from the contraceptive pill. I am still in shock that I have these & don't know how long recovery will be or anything else apart from the medication I'm on. I was only in hospital 24 hours

PCOS after switching from depo-provera injection to coil.
Hello. Am new here. I am in my late 30s. I was on depo injections for about 12 years with no PCOS. No hirsutism. No dodgy ovaries ( I've had several scans over the years for nonPCOS reasons, the last clear ovary scan being 3 years ago). Last year I switched to the hormone coil and rapidly developed hirsutism

Rivaraxoban
So.....I have Hughes with very high levels of antibodies. I was on Fragmin injections which I got on with very well. However, after a consultation in October it was agreed that I would try Rivaraxoban and see how I got in with that. I was initially apprehensive when I saw the long list of possible side

Anti phospholipid antibody with Hemorrhagic disorder
I have a rare blood disorder and I inject Arixtra(Fondaparinux) at this time. Heparin and Agatraban both had the opposite effect on me. Due to the expense, my doctor has recommended possibly switching to Rivaroxaban. I am a little nervous to change what I know is working. Camie

Rotator cuff tear & hypothyroid?
About 3 years ago I had to have a stroid injection into my right shoulder because I had impingement syndrome due to a rotator cuff tear in my shoulder. I can`t figure out how it happened, but the problem has returned, & I`m wondering if being hypothyroid could have predisposed my to this type of injury

Haircut?
I know this may seem like a silly request, but I can't stand my itchy dry scalp and ready to cut all my hair off. I have used a lavender shampoo to calm it down. I used a psoriasis shampoo, helped. But ,I think I need a more manageable haircut because my scalp is always pink. What does everyone else

Dry scalp problems
I have had dry skin and also dandruff and dry scalp since before becoming hypothyroid. I had been using head and shoulders until recently to try and ease symptoms, however, this did not work. I was given the 'black tar' shampoo on prescription and this didn't work either. The last few weeks, my scalp

Buying Our Cottage Brought Surprises
We didn't much care for this cottage when we first saw it...the 'garden' at the front was so terribly over-grown that the windows were hidden behind long grass and unruly shrubs...the roof was covered in clumps of bright green moss and baby trees were growing out of the guttering. But the estate agent
