Don't be afraid to talk about bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in the UK. There are 40,000 new cases every year. Nine in ten cases are in people over 60. If you’re aged 60-74, there is a screening programme for bowel cancer. Ask your GP about it. You’re also at increased risk if you have a family history of

Peasants Versus Smart New Cars And Doing The Shopping...
The entire street is up in arms, because, after four blissful years of the road being closed the new bridge is up and the road re-opened... Himself has already been the victim of a snotty bloke who shook his fist at him at seven in the morning while he was out with the dogs...didn't move to the side

Endo surgery - bowel resection.
Hi ladies. I have stage 4 Endo, mostly around the bowel. I will be having surgery in the next couple of months. I have been warned of a 6 week recovery time and certainly 6 off work. I was wondering if this is the experience that people have had. I was hoping that this is a very conservative indication

Imipramine and restless leg syndrome
I have been taking imipramine for quite a few years now. It doesn't seem as effective as it did when I first started taking it. Does anyone else take imipramine for Rls? My mum suffers also but she has been prescribed gabapentin.

constipation and b12
Hi. looking for some advice as I am quite new to B12 issues. I have stopped taking B12 supplements as GP wants me to stay off for a few months so he can test for PA. Before, I started the B12, I was very constipated and bloated. I started having a high bran for breakfast about the same time as taking

Danazol or diet?
Hi all, first post looking for help! I was diagnosed stage 4 endo after a lap in July 2015, symptoms didn't improve (if anything got worse!!) and I tried cerazette, which turned me into a crazy lady unable to cope with the day to day so I stopped those and have now been offered Danazol. I'm really

IBS D and Piles
I wonder how many IBS D sufferers get bothered with Piles. Generally piles more associated with constipation, however, I have the D variety and have also suffered quite badly with Piles for approx. , the last 20 years. This just makes the whole episode of multiple BM's even worse. Recently ,

Health anxiety is ruining my life!

However within the last few months my health has been all that I can think about. Two months ago I was

Cisplatin anyone?
Hello I've reacted to my last dose of carboplatin, having had extra steroids and antihistamines as I also reacted to the last, second, infusion. It was working so seems to me that the most similar other chemo, which seems to be cisplatin, would be my best option. Does anyone have experience of cisplatin

COPD
During the last week I have been short of breath which is causing my anxiety attacks, I've lost about 18lb in just over a week because the anxiety is driving me nuts, I am pretty sure I have COPD but of course with being the time of year getting PFT's would be near impossible. I went to the ER the other
