Heart failure
Hi everyone. I went into heart failure directly after having the Pfizer jab. Turned out I had undiagnosed scarlet fever as a child. Had a mitral valve replacement as a result.Is anyone else struggling to come to terms with what has happened to them?

Belbuca and post surgical pain.
I currently take Belbuca for RLS. I have taken Mirapex and Rotigotine with horrible augmentation symptoms upon stopping. I have also taken Gabapentin with terrible side effects. I also have tried several opioids in the past. I have taken Belbuca for the past several years. I am facing hip replacement

Mechanical valve
Thanks for your replies! You are correct, I think I got my terminology wrong, sorry. I will have a mechanical valve not a biological valve, thus the need for warfarin. I was also hoping to use the self testing kit for warfarin, as we spend much time in Africa, which could be rather tricky. Good to

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral valve replacement. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life. Also I was wondering, are there still no other alternatives to taking warfarin when

Night sweats
I have noticed this week I have woken up with water on my back and chest. My hair is wet and my bedding is too. I am in my sixth week of recovery since having open heart surgery, valve replacement. Has anyone else experienced this, I have only noticed it this week.

Had my REMS scan today
Excellent session and good news - REMS shows that I donât have osteoporosis even though DXA says I did! I am osteopenic which is what I suspected and why I wanted the scan. Advice was to manage with diet and exercise which I am all in favour of and no intention of ever going on the drugs. Dr was very

Do I have Ords?
Iâve been having a big flare up of symptoms following knee replacement last July. Recently my eyes have become very inflamed, blurry vision, pain when I move my eyes sideways or up and down and they ache and feel like theyâre burning. I finally saw the GP who was quite concerned so ordered an Opthalmology

"Your thyroid's fine"...what do you think?
Hi. I've been told by a GP that my thyroid is fine. I don't think it is. I'd be grateful for your opinions. Like many others here, I'm fed up with Dr.s saying it's my age, the menopause, or there's nothing wrong. Medichecks results: May 23 Thyroglobulin Antibodies: 423.000 kIU/L (Range: <115

Could this be GCA?
I have just the one symptom: intermittent pain on chewing, especially tougher foods like meat: no unusual headaches, scalp tenderness or visual disturbances at all. I know this isnât a good reason for not going to the doctor, but I probably wouldnât have noticed it if I wasnât already aware of the possibility

Help with tapering Prednisone
I was diagnosed with PMR finally in Oct 23 after ending up in hospital unable to move. Doctors have been very dismissive and I have seen rheumatologist once and been signed off. I started on Prednisone at 12.5mg then reduced to 10 mg and have been told to reduce by 1mg per month. Is this a realistic
