I know this is the 'silent disease' and I don't want to look like a hypochondriac, but can anyone help?
Hello, I hope nobody minds me asking this, but I am going crazy with worry. My last period lasted five weeks and was very heavy, bad cramps some days, mild ones on others. When it stopped, my doc did a pelvic exam and said all was good down there, he also did a smear and said my cervix looked fine

Medical with Atos...Dr results and confusion!
Right, had a letter saying I need a medical towards my DLA claim. I've called the Dr after my throat swab and apparently my smear has come back with a mild case of thrush and my throat is still sore and white....I don't feel like I have thrush down there but my throat is killing and antibiotics have

Did the nurse break patient confidentiality?
Hi all, need to have a moan about this. My two teenage (14 & 15 yrs) daughters & I went for our flu jabs on Fri. We all went in together as my 15 year old has ASD & is selective mute & wont speak to the nurse & I have to explain this every time. There was also a male student nurse there who asked if

Ovarian Cyst, Pain, and bleeding. Updated!
I decided to write this down for two reasons. Firstly to "vent" and secondly for any lurkers out there who are in the same position as me; no diagnosis, but a nagging doubt in the back of my mind that things won't be so good. I started out last year with horrific pain (pulling in my stomach and radiating

It’s Saturday night, I should be out having fun, but I’m not, far from it. With regards to my mental health I always seem to struggle with the weekends, I’m not sure why this is, it’s probably the onslaught of really awful so called entertainment programmes on TV so therefore I’m left with my own thoughts

What has happened so far
when I was pregnant back in 2007 at the second scan it was discovered I had a dermoid cyst around 4mm in size, the sonographer said nothing to worry about just leave it until after you have had the baby. At my six week check up I mentioned it to the doctor who sent me for a scan where it was confirmed

Reaching out to those with OVCA
The Ovacome team is to be congratulated for setting up the new format of this website. However, it is disappointing to see that it is very under-utilised. Since April 2010, there are only a few posts on the Helpvine section. This is surprising, since there are nearly 7000 women newly diagnosed with OVCA

I never learn
What a week. Overdid it the other day cleaning the hob and oven and also polishing the copper kettle which sits on the hob cover as it was filthy,. My cleaner only wipes over the top of the hob cover. What with all the scrubbing (cleaning an oven is not my idea of fun!), - I also did the kitchen floor

Study and report says 'Many women underestimate fertility clock's clang' - what I thought when I read it
‘Many women underestimate fertility clock’s clang’ – a recent USA National Public Radio story reports. http://www.npr.org/2011/12/01/142725547/many-women-underestimate-fertility-clocks-clang Increasingly, every year there seems to be a study or story along these lines - one which reports

Cervical screening
Hello everyone, I recently had cervical screening done and got my results back yesterday saying there were some abnormal changes to the cells. They did a test for HPV infection which came out negative. So the risk of cancer at this stage is very small. I am very worried because my Mum passed away

Not sure what to do about possible lupus
Hi all, Firstly sorry for this life storey but this may take a while to explain. I was told last year after an operation to remove a skin leision (looked like a cluster of very small warts) that they think I may have lupus. This op has left me with a rarther large scar on my arm for my upcomming

It's the way they tell 'em!!
Dear Fellows-in-surgery, I opened an official looking letter this morning thinking ' Great; another unnexpected bill', and was faced with an NHS headed A4 sheet which started: Dear Mrs **** We have been advised that your name should be removed from the list of women eligible for cervical screening

Horrible pain
This may or may not be fibro related (I think that the horrendous pain was though!) but wanted to share! I have had really painful and heavy periods for a while. GP checked all my hormones, etc and all is fine in that respect. She recommended the coil to help with the periods. I did some research
