levothyroxine
Diagnosed eight weeks ago underactive thyroid even though I had no symptoms. 25mg given and 12 days later reduced to 12.5 as I was so ill. 4 weeks later I was bedridden, severe headaches and unable to urinate so took myself off them as Surgery would not respond.

Never ending circle
Morning everyone, just looking for advice and to vent a little. I have posted a few times about my journey but finally thought I had got some answers. Quick recap- after years of being fobbed off by my GP, I eventually went private to see a rheumatologist who actually listened. Initially he diagnosed

Input on Timing of Initial ADT after RP/SRT Failed
After surgery and salvage radiation therapy (SRT) have failed, it appears I'm headed for androgen deprivation therapy. Like many things in the world of prostate cancer, the recommendations as to when to start ADT seem to be all over the place, so I'm seeking any insights folks may have based on your

Seen my GP who says MART therapy is now used & suggested Fobumix inhaler Any thoughts?
Hi I posted last week after my Asthma review with a health care assistant at my GP surgery who basically tried to tell me to use my Fostair as both a preventer & reliever & tried to remove my Salbutamol Inhaler. I have since spoken to a GP who says the nurse is correct & they are using MART Therapy

No Cominarty Vaccine!!
I've had the call for my Spring covid booster, but unfortunately I can't have Spikevax (Moderna) as last time I was given it I spent the next 6mths sorting out a heart arrhythmia that seemed to have been triggered by it. My cardiologist said he'd seen a really significant number of new patients, all

reaction to Spikevax XBB 1.5Moderna
Just want to share that I had the above covid booster on Thursday (2nd May) and it appears to have triggered a lupus flare (in my case, rash, aching joints, splitting headache, extreme fatigue). I normally take prednisolone when I have a flare but feel it would be counter productive to what the vaccination

double standards
why does the medical industry refuse to acknowledge a double standard exists in the treatment of men versus women when it comes to intimate care? The obvious reason is the imbalance in gender representation on the personal care level. The solution that I have experienced is to to lead the unsuspecting

Patient Access app change
I went online yesterday to order my repeat prescription and found that the Patient Access app now wants me to do 2 step verification by installing another app. I don’t want to do this as I have several devices (iPads and iPod) and I don’t use (nor want to) 2 step verification on those. I haven’t got

Steroid injection and surgery
Hi all , I'm just wondering if anyone knows how long you have to wait after steroid injection in the bottom before having gallbladder removal I've been told operation will be in 2 to 3 mths unless a cancellation comes in. But a friend said I'll have to wait 3mths now

daft question, but I'm puzzled!
while I am waiting for my next CT scan next Thursday, and the latest batch of blood test results, can anybody else who has the same 'badly controlled asthma with bronchiectasis on top' tell me if painful and weak thighs and upper arms are part of the symptom bundle, or am I on my own! I haven't changed

heart surgery cancelled
Hi, my husband has been waiting for mitral valve repair since last December. After chasing, he was offered a date for surgery at the end of July. That was cancelled the day he was due to be admitted. The week after, he was gowned up and ready to go when it was cancelled. The following week, he got a

Salvage options?
Hello again, I have a few more questions, to help my husband decide between surgery and brachyboost. For context, he is localized Gleason 9. (1) Is the course of salvage radiation after RP typically the same as it would have been if the initial treatment had been radiation therapy? Or would it require

Paul Tube implant for Glaucoma
Hello, I am new here and wonder if anyone else has experience of having this surgery? After many years of using various eye drops and also an unsuccessful SLT on my right eye, my consultant advised me to have this surgery in an attempt to lower my IOP thus preventing even further loss of vision. He chose
