Experiences with

Anti-reflux surgery

Does taking prednisolone predispose to uti and make treating an infection difficult. I took a course of keflex and infection cleared or so I thought but it's back again a week later.

Hello all, I am 15 weeks pregnant with my second and things went very smoothly so far, no major problems, just general symptoms of nausea and tiredness which now at 15 weeks faded being able to even restart my running (more like a jogging now to be honest). My problem now is that, I am Rhd negative,

I'd much rather have curlers in my hair, if you got the reference... My nose has been getting more and more plugged lately from all the pus and blood scabs. Today, I noticed I have a huge whitehead INSIDE my nostril. Joy. Always a new side effect, right?! The positive is that one doesn't NEED their nose

/ I currently take adulumimab for RA. I am told to shield because along with Methotrexate 10mg weekly. I am immuno-suppressed.

Hi, I'm new here, I have not read this whole year posts but I notice very few here are taking what is considered as the best treatment for Behcet: anti TNF alpha, best know as Infliximab or Humira and others. Studies from the past years are giving an 80% of success (full recovery) with these meds. If

The only appointment they can give me is when I’m 27+2 but all the information I can find stipulates it must be 28weeks or over to receive anti-D injection. Anyone had it early, any problems?? Getting a bit stressed regarding this. Thanks
