Increasing Prednisone before hospital visit
I have tried to contact my rheumatology department and GP but with no luck. I'm having a gastroscopy and colonoscopy tomorrow. Previously pre-surgery I have upped my steroid dose for a day to cope with the stress, and I wonder if I should do this tomorrow. I am very nervous about it. My current dose

Is it IBS?
Hello, I'm a little new to this. I'm wondering if anyone has had symptoms like mine? I went to the doctor last year for bleeding, sometimes it was a small amount and sometimes a lot! Ended up having a colonoscopy where they saw nothing wrong and said if the biopsies don't show anything I'd have to have

Colon/rectum cancer with Fatty liver
I do not know if there's any correlation between fatty liver disease and colon cancer, but I am a Nash patient and they discovered a Neuroendocrine tumor during a colonoscopy. Please get checked and say some prayers for me. Pretty sure we caught it early enough.

Post colonoscopy
Well, the dreaded colonoscopy has been done! I think the prep stage and the starvation and no fluids was worse than the actual procedure. I had gas and air (as I have bad reactions to the sedative) and they found 4 pre-cancerous polyps which they removed. Hopefully, that will be all the treatment I need

Colitis, Terminal iletis or Crohns?
Hi, I had my gallbladder out in June 2021. Straight away I then suffered from urgent severe diarrhoea, bloating, yellow poo, fatigue, excessive flatulence and exhaustion. My GP ordered a calprotectin test in September which came back at 222 and I had a repeat one in December which came back at 430.

2 Failed Colonoscopies and Worried about Anemia and CT Colonoscopy Radiation Doses
Hi, I’m in a bit of a pickle. I’ve been urgently referred due to anemia and age (62). But I’ve previously had a terrible experience with colonoscopies. I had 2 agonising failed ones in 2018 and a CT colonoscopy. I also had a abdominal CT 4 months ago. I’m worried about my radiation dose from so many

Hello! Frustrated newbie here. Feel like i'm going crazy!
Hello all! I have been under the Endometriosis team for around 5 years now after getting mid cycle rectal pain which has progressed. MRI showed some indeterminate ?endo lesions behind the cervix and scarring on the ovary. I have had the Mirena coil which seemed to help for a short while, but the pain

Nausea
Hi there. I got methotrexate injection in March and I had really severe nausea after it. It lasted for 4 weeks. My rheumatologist said that she didn't want me to take it again and sent me to gastro doc to investigate my stomach. So had a colonoscopy and gastroscopy. It showed stomach inflammation (

Passing blood clots, usually heavy bleeding also
I keep getting blood clots like this and heavy bleeding quite often. Everytime i go to hospital my bloods come back clear. I have had a colonoscopy and everything came back clear too. This has been going on since 2019 and still no further forward. I did cut lactose from my diet as it stopped the stomach

Colonoscopy
I’m due to have a colonoscopy the week after next and as I’m on flecainide (50mg x2) and bisoprolol (1.25mg) would appreciate some advice. I don’t think I need to stop the medication before the procedure, so I’ve read but does the midazolam interact with the drugs in any way please. I’m other words

Need for Cystoscopy?
Quick recap of my situation: RP in Sep 2019 for G9 w/SVI, LN+, and high risk Decipher. RT 8 months later along with 24 mth ADT (just finished). About 2 months ago, I noticed a drop of blood coming from my uretha at the tip of my penis. My urologist ordered a CAT scan (which was clean) and cystoscopy

Could someone please advise, feeling desperate? :(
Hi, I’m a 25 year old female and for over 2 years now I have been struggling with IBS-C. I do have frequent BMs but I don’t feel like I’ve been able to empty completely. I am constantly bloated and in pain from cramps, often high up in my gut (it feels like things are being blocked from passing

My GCA/LVV experience
My GCA/LVV experience is a warning that the disease does not always present in the typical way we are alert for. I had headaches but no jaw claudication, no tongue pain, no eye symptoms, particularly light flashes in one eye. I had, had fairly typical PMR for 4 years, predictable, bilateral pains in

Lower Abdominal pain and Tocilizumab
Tocilizumab side effects: The main thing I have noticed is a proneness to infection, like UTIs, sinus, nasal and Blepharitis. This will be because my immunity is so firmly suppressed what with Prednisalone and Tocilizumab. I was able to quickly get down from 40 mgs of Pred to 10 mgs without the usual

B12 injections
I am new to this sight and very thankful to have found it! I have been recently diagnosed with pernicious anemia and am suffering from incredibly bad GI issues because of it. I take my injections once monthly. After my injection my GI issues get better for about two weeks and then get worse again.
