Experiences with

Discoid eczema

Hello everyone, I have had asthma and neurodermatitis for a long time. At the beginning I was given a cortisone spray for asthma and at some point a cortisone ointment for the dermatitis. My odyssey began with the cortisone ointment because it made my dermatitis extremely worse instead of better. At

Hello everyone, I’m looking for some advice or personal experiences that might help me manage my eczema. A few years ago, I developed dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. At one point, the blisters broke open, and I accidentally got some dirt on them while moving things. Since then, my eczema seems to

Hello all I’ve just had my second laparoscopic endometriosis surgery. First was 15 years ago and said mild endometriosis. This one found significant moderate-severe endometriosis in 3 different locations which they’ve removed (unsure if they feel they got it all). I’ve also had a scan showing adenomyosis

Hello, My daughter has suffered with chronic constipation since birth. Being a ‘lock down baby’ she didn’t have the usual checks and was born passing unusually large, painful stools. We were always told that this would ease when she started weaning and introducing fibre. Unfortunately, this was not

I don't know if it's true or not

Hi All, I have systemic scleroderma, pulmonary hypertension and kidney cancer. All diagnosed around the same time. The thing that affects daily life the most is my bowels that do not behave in a fitting way that I find acceptable. I take loperamide every day. I have a referral to a gastroenterologist

Good morning all. I had a Triple Heart Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair and now have also been diagnosed with Heart Failure. Before my surgery I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis. Unfortunately this failed so after a couple of months I was back to square one with my pain with the added complication

Eight years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's, I am currently only taking Levodopa 250 and Levodopa 125 HBS (I had bad reactions to all other medicines. Name it and I very likely tested). Over the years, I have suffered greatly from full-body cramps (which were quite unpleasant), but I can now

I took 2 doses of Fasenra and now developed Eczema which I NEVER had. Does anyone else have this problem ? Thanks, Maria

I think I am maybe looking some advice, or perhaps some reassurance from anyone going through similar... I feel quite deflated lately. I have had intestinal/abdominal issues since I was about 17 when I was hospitalised. I am almost 30 now and still dealing with the pains. At 17 I had all sorts of testing

I have been on here a few times talking about IBS C and my diverticulitis - most days I can go after taking an enema - sometimes a good clear out sometimes just a load of wind - I thought I was getting on top of it but now I have a load of stress as my wife was in hospital for three weeks with delirium

I have PD and my only sign is a left hand tremor. But when I eat a small meal I feel bloated all day. Today I woke at 6AM and found a tray of donuts. I ate one and am still bloated at 3PM. I know I must eat to be able to have a BM and if I don't eat my stomach growls while I'm constipated.

following months of waiting I eventually paid to see a private bowel surgeon. Worth every penny. She organised tests through NHS. Won’t bore with details- but I have a dysfunctional opioid bowel ( due to severe back problems). A large rectocele & possibly a cystocele I’m having a transit study…

I just had a minor op (Wednesday) when they numbed my bum (and around there, interesting). Now possibly due to painkillers that I tried to avoid I can't get things going -one nurse gave me tramadol assuring me it's fine for constipation (not, I trusted). They gave me a load of dulcolax tablets in the

It’s taken soooo long to pass bm finally, high fibre, no laxatives, strict routine and suppositries- I eat prunes, potato skin and bran without fail - it’s working!!! Having ct colonography on Thursday must I’m told start low residual diet and take this marker - which will also clear me out. The department

Hi gang. Over the past several months I have developed quite bad eczema, mostly on my forearms and lower legs. It’s a real pain in the ass and beginning to get on my nerves!😬 I’ve always been prone to this condition but it’s sudden return and it being sited on the lower limbs is unusual. Does anybody

This past week has been a nightmare for my bowels. I almost went to the ER on Monday because of very intense lower left pain. This all started with some fullness and pain in the lower middle and by Sunday it began working it's way to my lower left. By Monday I could barely stand up to walk and my entire

Has anyone else noticed that their skin on face and scalp has areas of flaky skin, especially at the edges of your hairline behind ears and on scalp. I bought E45 eczema cream but it doesn’t seem to work ? Any advice welcome 🙏

‘what now’ failed R223 My husband this week because of low Hb 83 had a blood transfusion + iron infusion. He has suffered ‘Proctitis’ rectal bleeding since having radiotherapy 2019 and although complaining to Oncologist, GP, Gastroenterologist had endoscopy (found Barrett’s disease and has difficulty

Hi My husband is chronically constipated due to PSP. It’s been a major issue for about 2 years but it’s getting worse… he was averaging once every 5 to 8 days and now last time was 14 days and this time it’s 15 I have a continence nurse and GP that have input fortnightly and we usually manage on a
