Employer advice needed - endo sick days being taken as annual leave.
Hey all, I was diagnosed with endo last November following a laparoscopy and excision. I work as a psychological therapist for the NHS. On the first day of my period I can barely move let alone think or be in a position to provide therapy, most months I will take tranexamic acid, mefenamic acid and tramadol

Started Ursodiol yesterday
Just started my Urso. I picked it up and the price was a bit of a surprise. So I asked the pharmacist the cash price! Over $700. A month! I paid 95. So thankful I have a job with insurance. We gotta do what we gotta do. My years of paying premiums is about to pay off.

Terrrible aches in legs
Hi there. After 5 years on Tamoxifen, and being 55 now post-menopausal, I switched to Anastrozole a few months ago together with Alendronic Acid (as I found out I also had osteoporosis). I was initially really pleased not have that unpleasant 'simmering' feeling I endured throughout the 5 years on Tamoxifen

Hello, my name is Marie , I am new to this. (80 years of age) I have recently been told that I have Paget's Disease. To be honest I did not even know that there was such a disease. I have on the 25 July/17 had an infusion of Zoledronic Acid. Can any one tell me of any side effects, I did not think to

Well worth a Dexa Scan to see if Bisphosphontes are essential!
My GP has been pressurising me to take Alendronic Acid and I have been resisting. She sent me to Dr Peel at the Northern General Hospital with notes designed to make the case for me to go on the drug. A bit like being sent to the Headmistress! Saying that I was fearful of side effects( I am). Today I

GCA Flare
Hi, not posted for awhile as been ok. Started on 40 mg 17 months ago with GCA. Had a couple of hiccups but as told by my rheumatologist in March keep reducing 1 mg per month. I was down to 5mg for a couple of weeks and struggling a bit - tired, a few head tingles and neck ache but soldiered on. However

Recently diagnosed - help!
I am recovering from a fractured hip after a fall in April and have discovered after a DEXA scan that I have Osteoporosis. I am 60 years old and very active - walking/gym and this is all quite a shock. I couldn't take all the info in at the bone clinic when told, so blindly went along with daily 1000mg

Low insulin normal glucose
My fasting insulin level is very low (below 2 mE/L). I measured it first 2 years ago and it was 3,9 mE/L (ref. range 2-29,1). Carbs intake was 200g per day back then, mostly from low GI foods, absolutely no sugars. Last week my fasting insulin was below 2 mE/L. These weeks I have been eating about

Trouble losing weight
Hello Everyone, This is my first post although I joined a while ago. I live in a small town, and it is so nice and encouraging to know I'm not alone in this, and to have support of others who are experiencing the same issues. I was diagnosed with PBC last September, biopsy showed stage 2-3. Thankful

Evidence for supplements?
I suppose the title of the post says it really! Like everybody else, I spend lots of money on NAC, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Co-enzyme Q10, Resveratrol etc etc. I'm about 2 years in and feel okay but the disease is progressing slowly despite all of my strategies. Therefore, I ask myself, is there any point

VINEGAR, my new best friend!
A few weeks ago I decided to add unfiltered vinegar to my diet and have been seeing more and more benefits. I've been encouraging people to try it ever since. Dr. Mercola has this article on his website today pointing out more of the scientific facts as to why it works. "Various studies, researchers

Abit of advice please 😔
Hi ladies, I've been back to my gynae today after surgery last year to treat endo and scar tissue. I've feel like I'm back to square one with the pain and the bleeding. After my op I was advised to take my pill for 3 months at a time and have a break, during that time the pain is getting unmanageable

Peripheral neuropathy and burning feet
Saw some comments a few days ago, and wanted to remind everyone to carefully read the literature that comes with all your drugs. For a couple of years, I have had intense burning feet, especially in the evenings, and assumed it just went with the neuropathy. Not so! After studying all my medicine literature
