Remission
Back in November I noticed a swelling under my arm. My doctor set me up with ultrasounds and found it was swollen lymph nodes. After the surgery in December to remove the largest one, I was told I had SLL. My world turned upside down. I had a PET scan in January and I lit up like a Christmas tree. The

cervical and lumbar pain: ametriptoline and gabapentine.

Hi everyone. I am seeking your helpful advice once again. My daughter was diagnosed with High Serous Grade 3 Ovarian Cancer in June 2023 with full debaulking surgery in July 2023. She is currently on 100mg Paraparib which has had an effect on her haemoglobin levels but appear to have now settled.

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturing problem with Armour Thyroid?
Hi, been on Armour for 12 years. Fortunate to have it prescribed by my GP & there has never been a problem but the pharmacy at the surgery say there is a problem & they can't get it. They have recently changed hands & it has been a problem to get the particular brand of another medicine I need to not

had my initial consultation
I went and saw the endometriosis specialist for my initial consultation. He said he’d already read the symptoms (that I’d had to send in to be offered an appointment.) I gave him a new list cause it included symptoms I hadn’t previously mentioned, he read it and scanned it on his phone. He said normally

Post surgery pain
I previously posted a question about post surgical pain and Belbuca (buccal Buprenorphine,). I had hip replacement one week ago. The pain is excruciating. I conferred with my surgeon prior to the surgery because I was afraid of this. He told me not to worry. Ha! I am taking Oxycodone every 6 hours

Hip surgery
I'm due to have a hip replacement but nervous because I have paroxysmal A Fib. I' m on Edoxaban and have bisoprolol as a P I P, told to take after a few hours if it didn't resolve, but haven't had to take it . Would welcome some reassurance 😊

Driving with RA
I was diagnosed with RA many years ago. I have seen a consultant once or twice a year until covid. No-one has ever told me that I should not drive. I don'y feel unsafe but I only take short tips now. I have never felt that my hands are making my driving difficult. I can hold the steering wheel comfortably

Possible stroke ?
Hi everyone I was discussing medications issues with surgery pharmacist yesterday. He asked why I was taking Clopidogrel (I am having serious oseophagal spasms) then said oh yes possible stroke. I am stunned no one has mentioned this to me. As far as I knew my GP moved me from aspirin to Clopidogrel

Hi all, just after some advice or if anyone has been though something similar, I would love to hear your story. I'm nearly 40, and first got diagnosed with endometriosis in my early 20s.

Period pain after surgery
Hi everyone, looking for some advice. I had surgery to remove endo on my uterosacral ligament in Feb this year. My usual horrendous period pain seemed to be improving each month after surgery. My period pain this month however has been awful to the point I was on the floor screaming in pain this morning
