Melanoma survivor....safe to have kids?
I had metastatic malignant melanoma in 2008. I had a skin graft and wide excision to remove my lymph nodes in my groin. Since then all PET scans have been clear, but I am wondering if it is safe to get pregnant? Anyone gone through this before? So far, no one has been able to help me. I am desperate

Strong emotions causing HA?
Recently I had a HA 30 minutes after seeing my favourite football team lose a very important game. I had to have emergency CABG 1 week later as 3 of my arteries were found to be blocked after angiogram. My question is this: How can strong emotions be connected with my arteries being clogged up? To

Updates - there's always something more...
Well, it seems that I am not doing bad for someone who, before June 2018, had never stayed in hospital. If an NSTEMI wasn't enough on June 4th, I was admitted to A&E on Wednesday with dizziness, weakness, breathlessness, tachycardia and atrial fibrillation. Turns out that I have now been diagnosed with

The Myth that T3 causes Heart Problems?
I am always reading that GPs/Endos. say that excess T3 can cause heart attacks/irregular beats and yet I also read that T3 protects the heart; who is right. Here is a small extract from one of the studies I have read: Patients with heart disease frequently display a typical pattern of altered thyroid

Waking after neurotoxicity
My dad suffered from neurotoxicity, pneumonia, and a fungal infection after Stem Cell Transplant. He had a unexpected and terrible reaction to anti-rejection medications and has been in a coma/ICU for 6 weeks. He recently emerged from coma is very weak and is still not able to speak or utter any sound

Interesting Question for the Psychiatrists and Geneticists Out There
I have always wanted to ask these two closely related questions; especially since my Psychiatrist told me that he had never heard of any situation even remotely close to mine and/or of any studies related at all to it. I am now a 54-year-old man with ADD. My symptoms are mainly "tactile" and "attention

Post Bypass Cholesterol check
I have been on 20mg of statins since about a month before my CABG in March. The cardiac rehab nurse suggested that I should be on a higher dose, such as 80mg. She wanted to be sure and I had a fasting blood test a week ago. My cholestorol is now down from 6.7 to 3.4 and at an acceptable level. I

Wow getting red hair to warn bad news to stay away is certainly working. Saw osteo surgeon again today regarding the initial hip pain and looked at all scan and MRI results.
