I have had terrible abdominal pains and/or diarrhea, nausea, weight loss for the past couple of years, getting worse all the time. I seem to have to run to the bathroom almost every time I eat. I also urinate a ton, though my blood

I am so fed up and very anxious that my body can’t produce a ‘normal’ stool
It’s actually becoming an obsession with me and driving my already out of control anxiety to a point where I feel I may go crazy! I have had IBS for 24 years but for some reason it ramped up a notch about 4 years ago and has been really bad this year. In 2019 I had a colonoscopy, a gastroscope and

Have you had an endoscopic ultrasound-guided biliary drainage? Request for help from National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE)
Bile is a fluid produced by the liver and stored in the gall bladder that aids in the digestion of fats. Biliary obstruction is when the channels carrying bile from the liver and gall bladder into the small intestine (bile ducts) become blocked, and is most commonly caused by tumours or gallstones. This

Upper Endoscopy
I am due to have an upper GI endoscopy. Due to spinal problems and a large Lipoma on my outer left thigh I can not lay on my left hand side for the procedure to be done. I would be grateful if anyone knows a different way for the procedure to be carried out. I am finding it very difficult to get

Internal Bleeding - update on wife
Update on my wife’s condition. Hi everyone – well, it has been quite a month, but we’ve made progress. My wife got an endoscopy to see the cause and extent of her internal bleeding. The doctor determined that the Prednisone was not the cause but some baby aspirin she had been using in conjunction with

Is it normal to feel anxious when adding Armour?
I just started taking an extra 1/4 grain of Armour. I feel a bit edgy and anxious. Is this typical for an adjustment period? My previous dose was 88mcg Synthroid and 1/4 grain Armour. Adding 1/4 grain because my most recent lab results were this: August 9, 2022 TSH - 4.12 mIU/L …Range: .4-4.50 mIU
