Cold cap advice?
Im a very lucky gal whose cancer was caught early (by accident) at stage 1c. I've had surgery and about to start chemo tomorrow. Carbopentin only. They booked me a cold cap as I was originally going to have Carbo + Taxil which usually results in hair loss. Now the risk is lower so not sure whether you'd

Some input needed please. I am in Norwich under the care of Max Yates and currently on 3.5/4mg of pred. He thinks that i will stay on 4mg. My inflammation markers are in the normal range.

Persistent pelvic pain & next to no support. Does anyone know of any support groups or services, please?

NTG and thin corneas
Hi I was diagnosed with NTG in my left eye over 20 years ago. Since then my pressures have been stable with apparently no cause for concern. Last year I had a severe infection in both eyes which has increased the pressure in my left eye from 11 to 14. I didn't think that was too bad as it had been

Simbrinza shortage?
Over the years my opthamologist and I have settled on Simbrinza eye drops as the best for my glaucoma. Yesterday my pharmacist tells me he can't find the drops anywhere and he's going to keep looking. We're in SE London area. Any suggestions? Thanks

How long before ablation to start Edoxaban?
Morning all. There seems to have been a flurry of recent posts about anticoagulants. And here’s another question from me. Does anyone know how long before my ablation I need to take the Edoxaban I’ve been prescribed? I know some years ago, when preparing for a cardioversion, they said to take the anticoagulant

Anyone successful at reducing cholesterol levels without statins?
I’ve been offered statins as a few weeks ago my cholesterol was up to that magic number plus age 70 where they get recommended. I suggested to cardio team and GP that this may be due to a bit of over indulgence over Christmas period so it’s agreed I’ll re-test in a few months. I have eaten mainly plant

How do you take a double dose of desogestrel?
Hello, my gynaecologist has recommended I double the dose of my mini pill to try and reduce pain and stop my constant bleeding. I've struggled to find information on the best way of doing this - am I best taking one every 12 hours (eg. One at 9am and one at 9pm) or am I better off taking 2 at the same

My glove upgrade lost its buzz..
Hi, My PD/Tass glove prototype seems to have lost its “buzz” when my partner swapped the old/vinyl look (on the right in the picture) with the clean new look (on the left in the picture). Using the SAME power/arduino etc. it seemed that it should work great until I put them on my hands and realized

deranged LFT and Gallbladder perforation
hi, hoping someone may have experience like mine. I had a perforated gallbladder whilst in hospital with Sepsis back in November. Because of my weight and existing issue the team didn’t want to operate as keyhole wasn’t an option so would have involved open surgery. So I was put on antibiotics for 6
