Failed Endometrial Ablation: Prostap
Hi folks, Here goes, I had an ablation done but I’ve never had endometriosis - long story - it’s failed and I’m due to have the Prostap injection. I’m worried about weight gain a developing hashimoto’s, I’m paralysed and osteoporosis is also a worry. I’m very high risk for hysterectomy surgery, so

The Journey Begins 7th August 2023
Nasty cough with shortness of breath , Local GP suspected chest infection, prescribed antibiotics and chest x ray, this picked up a issue so had chest CT scan. 12th August. Suspected lung cancer to right upper lobe .!! Early staging suggests T3/N2/M0 this now May have been a bit premature as Bronchoscopy

Terrified
47 years old. I had knee surgery almost 2 weeks ago and after the surgery I took the prescribed narcotics for 4 days. Every time I take these I get constipated. I started taking stool softeners (colace) and after a week nothing. I did a Fleet enema and finally 9 days after surgery I had a BM and it was

post abdominal surgery and dizziness
hi guys. 10 days ago I had a laparotomy which is open abdominal surgery to remove a huge cyst and my left ovary/fallopian tube. The surgery went well with no complications and I was discharged 3 days later. On discharge I was very dizzy walking about for the first time which I get is normal. Since then

Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
Hi! A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My TSH is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

How to get help when my results are in range?
Hello all I have posted before and nothing has changed much. I had some recent tests via my GP and the surgery is on my case as my cholesterol is quite high (7) and there are mutterings about statins which I have refused, I have had very bad hair loss in the past 2 years with no obvious cause. I have

How to wean off omeprazole
I’ve just had some blood tests done prior to some surgery and the results show there may be a problem with vitamin B12 levels. Hmm, I take 20mg omeprazole daily, in capsule form. Anyone any idea of the best way to come off this? I believe I’ll have to gradually wean off it?

Shingles Vaccine Update

Severe back pain
Hi fellow Lupies, There have been one or two posts about back pain which I was keen to read as I've just, at last, after long standing back problems for around 20 years, had some real investigation done.

Endometriosis treatment NOT contraceptive pill or coil
I'm waiting to see a gynae. This one took me seriously when I tearfully told her my symptoms. The debilitating pain I endure during ovulation and my period is worse than childbirth (I've had a baby). The bleeding is so severe that I flood a night time pad every half an hour. GPs have always been very

Update on...Buprenorphine seems to be failing! Help!
Well, thank you for all the replies and the wisdom which has been offered. I saw my GP yesterday and explained the situation, told him of the solutions others had found (Lotte) and then asked him what his advice was. He thought about it and offered taking Sifrol as a first solution which I told him I'd

Surgery advice
Hi, I went to the hospital for my first gynaecology appointment on tuesday where i was told they were certain it’s Endometriosis. As you can imagine it was a mix bag of sadness but relief i didn’t fight with the doctors for the previous year for nothing. They recommended surgery which i’ve agreed

Ups & downs again, but back on the up.
Hi everyone, been on that rollercoaster again. Son unfortunately vomited through his tracheotomy last Tuesday whilst his PEG feed was running. He seemed ok but come Thursday all his stats were alarmingly high requiring hospital admission. Diagnosed with aspiration pneumonia & started on strong IV antibiotics

Private fibroscan?
Hi. I posted last week, the surgeon performing my laprascopic gallbladder surgery has seen fibrotic changes in my liver about 4 weeks ago.
