If you take the pill in the pocket only, what frequency and duration are your AF episodes?
If you only take Pill in the Pocket, for example Flecainide 100mmg, I would be interested how often you have AF episodes, how long they generally last and if you always medicate with the PIP or do you do other things to resolve the AF episode. Do you have a recording monitor? Also, how long have you

Lost of treatment's efficacy
Has it ever happen to you that a pill loses its efficacy?Last June I switch to a new contraceptive pill, which allows me to have the most normal summer of my life, without any bloating and any pain. It is a couple of weeks that pain started to come back slowly, and now I have pain almost like before

does the manufacturer of generic med matter?
hi! this is a weird question. But today I noticed that the generic guanfacine refill I picked up for the same Rx and same dose of previous refill looked different than what I got in last months bottle. I realized that last month the 1mg Guanfacine ER pill has APO on 1 side and GUI1 on the other.

Is there any way of getting rid of BRAIN FOG? I have been taking medication all my life, side effects of this & that over the decades!
I am 66 years of age, I suppose it is dementia, but I'm a fighter, a survivor, feel like being put in a coma and letting the pill gunge drain away? Would just plain exercise help? All the effects of decades of pills and medication left in my system all my life, just thinking of some of them, naturally

contraceptive pill affects
hi. I started taking the pill when I was 17. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid when I was 19 (doesn’t run in the family). I took the pill continuously until 2020 and then had a baby and haven’t gone back on it. For years and years I took 100mcg levo until after the birth it was reduced to 75

2 years post op for catamenial pneumothoraces and on Yasmin, getting pains again. Anyone else?
2 years ago my daughter experienced numerous spontaneous pneumothoraxes(at least 7 in a 4 month period, then 5 more while in hospital during a 3 week stay) at the very beginning of puberty aged 14.

14 year old daughter facing laparoscopy
Hi, I’m hoping to get some advice and support about my 14 year old daughter. I’ve got endo myself and have suffered for 30+ years with it, I had a radical hysterectomy 8 years ago. My worst fears appear to be a reality as my daughter has suffered horrendous period pain since she started 4 years ago.

Finally received Endo diagnosis following laparoscopy... advice/support for next steps please!
Hi Everyone, I had investigative laparoscopy surgery back in October this year. I finally had my endometriosis diagnosed (it's only taken 18 years, for someone to truly listen), it was removed along with scarring and I had a mirena coil fitted. The validation I had after the surgery was unlike anything

good news I think…
thank you to everyone who sent reassurance. The Gynaecologist I saw today is convinced my Ca125 results are related to something that isn’t OC. She based this on a past ultrasound that said ovaries normal. She thought possibly my thyroid nodules which are being investigated in parallel. My pains
