Hi I’m new to the pelvic pain support group, please bare with me as probably a long post. I will try to bullet point my history to make easier reading! - Pelvic Pain, horrendous periods, other symptoms including bowel problems all from 2009 (although always had horrendous periods) - messed around by

My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 CLL, went through one round of RCVP chemo with no results last year, so was started on Imbruvica in June 2017. The change in his health, energy level, and blood counts was absolutely remarkable. We told everyone it was a miracle drug. Then without warning, my husband

I think it’s the time for me to tell my story, so I don’t to look like an intruder in this forum. I had my very first episode of AF during a hard fought tennis match (since I was an assiduous tennis player for many years). At that time, I had just turned forty years old and was in top physical form.

Doctor arranged for emergency catheterisation at home to see how much urine was not being released. Nothing came out at all! I then went a few days later for ultrasound, and discovered I had a double fluid filled cyst 12cm and 10 cm joined together.

The heart catheterisation was early, and I thought good, I will be recovered before the cataract surgery.

Well, just returned from the BHI where l had a thorough review and discovered I am to have an angiogram and a left and right heart catheterisation.

Anyway have got a date, 14th November, after I have the cardiac catheterisation. Life continues to be such jolly fun! All those hospitals! A lovely day today though, we walked the dog in the Forest and had lunch out so it was really pleasant. Spaniel Bracken and I are resting on the bed now.

Abit of a shock to say the least, they tried catheterisation to repair hole but wast possible so sent home later in day. I was told july 4 open heart surgery required and max 6 month waiting list. Had more test and now another issue found with fatty calcium build up in heart too.

We had gone off all supplements after 2nd chemo due to enzymes being high. Because we went off all supplements (except D3, Omega 3, and

Hiya, I would like to find out if anybody has been to and/or Had any success with Fallopian tube catheterisation at the regency international clinic in London?

I am after some understanding on this subject. Twice my partner has had the catheter removed and twice its been put back, due to retaining urine and then getting an infection. Now the nurse has said, there is talk of him possibly having a tube put straight into his bladder, just above the pubic bone.

My husband had a TURP 8/4/17 (in history below) but has not had any other surgery. Had second round of taxotere last week...next one in two weeks. He's had mild blood in urine since two days after first chemo. A few small clots. Onc says to keep an eye on it. He's away for business this week and just

My profile info is below... In our visit for chemo yesterday his bloodwork came back with elevated ALT/AST/BUN-Creatinine ratio- you can see numbers below. Thankfully PSA is going in the right direction. The oncologist wants us to go off of all supplements to get a baseline. We both take some herbal

Suspect this paper, if noticed, will end up reported as clickbait! More seriously, it really does help to validate the concept that thyroid hormone can be both important and useful in heart disease.
