secondary infertility deciding when to stop
So I’m very lucky to already have the most wonderful child ! We’ve been trying to have another baby for over 2 years. I’ve had failed IUIs and then did a round of IVF where I had x4 embryos at day five which I was told were all ‘good’. Anyway none of them stuck x3 negatives and I had x1 chemical pregnancy

ToeNail fungus treatment and Methotrexate
I’ve recently been recommended Curanail by my footcare practitioner for a toe nail fungus condition. I wondered if any one has used this while taking weekly methotrexate, and sometimes Naproxen.My blood test results are all fine and RA is well controlled atm. Looking at the instructions it can take

How do you come down from the pred high?
I wrote what follows as a response to someone else mentioning the pred high but then realised it should have been a new post. So here it is again, edited and with a heading. I seem to feel hyperactive all the time, at the moment, especially if I do exercises. Last night I went out to the local exercise

Nervous wreck
Hi Everyone, I’m a 33 female, I recently had a CA 125 blood test completed and the result was 42, I had just come off my period the time of the test. I’m due to have a CT scan on Wednesday and a repeat of the bloodwork on Thursday. I was constipated for a few days when I saw my doctor but that has subsided

Does this look like lupus rash?
Hi everyone. I started with a flat purple rash last Tuesday. It’s spread across my stomach and down the front of my thighs. Then a more sporadic raised rash started on shoulders, back, and then my hands and arms on Friday evening. The first marks on upper body looked like I’d scratched the skin. Yesterday

Long term -confused - Thyroid & pain in neck?
Hi, I'll try and be brief. It's been over 3yrs since I thought I had a thyroid problem. I was fobbed off with antidepressants and it took me years to get off them. I am still having problems and I know it is not just anxiety! I suffer with DPDR - dissociation. I feel spaced out often and disconnected

what is ibs?
Hi! new here and didn’t actually know this forum was about until I started googling on the nhs site. So my question is what is ibs? I want to explain what I’m experiencing and if someone can tell me if it’s completely normal for ibs to be like this I would be really grateful. This time last year

Electrolyte advice please.
l have paroxysmal AF and recently been getting more episodes. I recently had a blood test, via my GP, to determine the function of my heart. I had my results come through, to my NHS app., late on 24th May, the start of the bank holiday weekend, so have been unable to speak to anyone at my surgery.

Self-care while waiting for diagnosis
Hello everyone, I recently went to my family doctor about an achey burning in my hips, shoulders and neck that is much worse in the morning, ongoing for about a month now. Getting out of bed and up from chairs is suddenly very difficult (but gets easier by about supper time). My appetite is also down
