Sodium cromoglicate - GP won't supply any more
Good afternoon everyone and thank you in advance for any help anyone might be able to offer. I have MCAS and POTS (as well as autoimmune, ME/CFS, histamine intolerance and a raft of other conditions) and recently started on sodium cromoglicate. The outcome has been almost miraculous - the first medication

Happy New Year everyone! Iāve posted on here quite a bit, and have appreciated all the support Iāve been getting. I had my lap in May of 2023. Since then, Iāve started pelvic floor therapy. For the last 4 weeks, Iāve done bladder installations weekly. So installations one day then therapy the next.

PSA Rising
Had surgery in November 2021. Gleason 4+3...Post surgery PSA was 0.01. Positive margin (1 millimetre). PSA has risen from 0.1 to 0.06 in 24 months. Doctor says I should do nothing. Until it hits 0.2. Next test is June 2024. Any advice will be appreciated.

Can't get a quote for Holiday Insurance until I specify what the medication I'm taking following Bypass surgery is for.
The only reason why I'm taking this cocktail of drugs is that it is the Gold standard practice following

to guard against the heart remodelling itself.

Referral policy
Hi everyone! I am wondering if you are able to share your experience with referrals, etc. I mentioned previously that I am on an 80-week waiting list to see an Endo specialist (NHS). I guess it will be another 80 weeks to have laparoscopy. Basically, over three years of pain and worry..I am considering
