Frequent Eye Prescription Changes and Cataract Surgery
Hi all, I am a GCA patient since AUG 22. I started on 60 MG Prednisone and have tapered to 5.5 mg since then using DSNS. I have had vision problems almost from the start -- blurry vision mostly, but now I have significant cataracts -- AND I've had to change my prescription 4 times since AUG 22. My

Hyperthyroid help
Hi Everyone, The last time I posted was sometime last year, when I had been taken off 5mg carbimazole and had been discharged from the hospital back to my GP. Fast forward a year. I had blood tests last week (14.11.23) only to discover that my T3 is 20.1 pmol/L, previously 4.6 pmol/L (Sept) and TSH

What is normal after surgery and what isn't
My husband had stoma surgery two weeks ago and got home a week later. Since coming home he seems to be deteriorating not improving. On the advice of his stoma nurse, we are going to see the GP to get bloods taken, etc this morning. However, is it normal to go off your food, be scared to eat in case

Bob update (ICD wound revision)
I was in hospital again yesterday. This was scheduled, following the appearance of Bob and a few friends. Bob was the pet name for a pointy lump next to my clavicle and above my ICD. He was at risk of puncturing through the skin. You can learn about Bob's appearance (or if you are a bit more hip, [i]

Does diet actually help symptoms of endometriosis?
Hi,I feel like I'm going to be posting in this group an awful lot as you are all so lovely and reassuring. I have another question as doing research online I see conflicting answers. I'm only recently in the process of being diagnosed and am searching for answers everywhere as I can no longer tolerate

Hi everyone... here to say hi and so glad to finally be part of a support group.
Hi everyone. I'm currently 29 and have been through severe period pain since I started my periods at 12 and ended up going on the pill and having severe pain, heavy bleeding and becoming anaemic. I still had pill breaks but the bleeding did get a bit lighter but the pain was still bad and progressively

My journey to 5k
I'd tried doing C25k more than once but fell at the second or third fence each time, I just couldn't push through that barrier. So we come to October 22 and I have a medical episode that basically put paid to any exercise of any sort, 150 yards was the most I could cover without having to rest. May

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. I’ve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - I’m not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

Follow up x-ray pneumonia
Hi everyone. I rang my surgery today to see if my follow up chest x-ray results were in. I had possible pneumonia diagnosed 4 weeks ago, apparently the 'possible' meant that the mass on my x-ray was tiny, anyway the surgery said my results were in and I had to make a telephone consultation appointment
