I've had 2 drainage at home so far. - l would appreciate showering advice. I wrapped the dressing in place and seal plastic wrap but water still seeped into

Learning difficulty or Learning disability?
Hi everyone, I just wanted some advice. I have asked my GP surgery about an LD review now my son has turned 14. They have said he isn’t entitled to one, as he is coded as having Learning difficulties and not Learning disabilities and they can’t find any letters to say he has learning disabilities, only

Access to Blood Test results on line.
Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone in the UK can tell me if there is any other way I can see my blood test results on line other than GP’s app, “My GP”. and NHS app. Up until six months ago I had access to all blood test results and previous ones which I liked for comparison. However, the GP’s Surgery

Respite from the fight
My beloved is snoring beside me: a sound I wasn’t sure I’d get to hear again. He’s spent the last two years “living” in the recliner in the living room. Pneumonia 3 times: a collapsed lung, likely from one of a series of falls last spring. On oxygen PRN since June 2023. Surgery to stretch the right

Anyone else had BC change from E+ to triple negative?

I have lobular bc that was diagnosed at stage IV 20 years ago and have done well in treatment but have more side effects now and while my long survival got me way passed the initial fears, I feel so

post-op incisions
Hi everyone, I had surgery (ovarian cystectomy & excision of endometriosis) on 18/02/24 One of my wounds seems to be open. I feel ‘fobbed off’ by doctors who state it will close on its own. Did anyone else’s incisions look like this? Did they heal okay? Also, my belly button scab has now fallen

Why are things so grim?
Ugh… I doubted myself recently when I went to see a consultant again. Despite having endo treated twice before, I thought ‘what if it’s not endo this time?’, ‘what if I’m wasting this person’s time?’. …anyway I’m booked in for surgery in 2.5 weeks time and can’t come soon enough. Today I started my

Hi everyone I had my quadruple bypass back at the end of June. I did extremely well with recovery and suffered no setbacks. Now coming up to 9 months post surgery. I’m just wondering what changes people made to their diet and lifestyle following their surgery? We had/have a healthy diet anyway but

B12 prescription cancelled by pharmacist
Hello - I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency around 15 years ago. My GP at the time said that I had Pernicious Anaemia and was unable to absorb B12 from my food.

Advice on shrinking endometrioma
Hi, I've been recently diagnosed with endo and have a large endometrioma on my ovary. I've been advised the only way to get rid of it is with surgery. However I'm weighing up whether surgery is worth it due to A) the risks of other organs being damaged and potentially losing my ovary and B) it still
