Pulmonary Regurgitation - Breathlessness?
Hi all, I had a pulmonary valve replacement when I was 21 in 2013. I am 32 now, as the years have passed, the valve has started to leak. I have been told the leak is now severe. I am unsure if I am experiencing symptoms as I have major health anxiety (I bet I'm not the only one!), so I can never really

Hip replacement and prednisolone
I’m currently awaiting a hip replacement and am taking 5 mg a day prednisolone. Can I have the surgery on this level of steroids ?

Hi lovelies, I have been wanting to start some supplements for my endo but not sure where to start? Currently my worse symptoms are my back and hip pain and my hormones ! I am on an induce chemical menopause and HRT. I’ve heard about NAC, would anyone recommend this to start on first? Thank

Don't want to go back on the pill/more surgeries! Deep infiltrating endo on bowel and uterine polyp removed recently for heavy bleeding.
Hello fellow endo warriors. I have a dilemma. I really don't want to go back on the bcp after being on it for 15 years as it has not been effective for my deep infiltrating endo on my bowel. My ultimate goal is to heal endo at the core using non-hormonal & surgery approach. Not just a bandaid solution

Perimenopause and Venlafaxine?
Hi all I'm 45 years old and have been on HRT (Estradiol + Utrogestan) for a year now. My main symptoms used to be mood swings, night sweats, difficulty to sleep through and hot flushes, which are mostly gone since I've been taking the tablet + applying the gel. The only side effect is that I've put

Painful Breast
I posted this some years ago on behalf on my wife: She has had a pain in the upper inner right quadrant of the breast for the last 2 years. When this first came up she had an appointment at our local hospital and received a bilateral mammogram and all was normal. There was no focal lesion seen. The

HRT or not?
I’m currently taking 75mg of levo & a lot of other vitamins, but still feel tired in the afternoons. I usually need a 2 hour nap, but it’s difficult as I work full time. I should think many of you feel the same. I saw the endo at hospital who said my levels were fine & sent me away. I’m waiting

getting reading for HIP replacement #2
After the right in 2022, now it's time for the left. I'm not in horrible pain but I want to get it done so that I regain more ability to be active and workout, keep muscle mass (I'm 58), and continue to keep MS at bay. Just got the green light from the neuro. Ocrevus is delayed for 2 months to avoid

Is It worth choosing a Doctor?
My neighbour has given me the name and contact information for a doctor he said is the best in my area for knee replacement surgery and said once I get a date for my surgery I can request that it is done by this doctor. I have looked at reviews and references online and they are indeed glowing, however

Shoe and shoe insoles
Hi all I'm hoping that I can get some suggestions about footwear or shock absorbing insoles. I have a bad knee (waiting for knee replacement op) and now have lower back pain. I'm going away soon and expect to walk lot more than I do at home. Any advice appreciated.

Should I defer MRI
Hi. I have hip replacement op booked for 17 June.I have received cardiac MRI appointment for 26 June. I tried the MRI dept to ask if I should defer. They passed the buck back to Cardiology. I asked at the pre op assessment yesterday but again no clear advice. I usually recover quickly from surgery -

Bereavement in depression
I lost my job 6 month’s ago, this was because I messed up while having to stop my HRT, I had to stop cold turkey and it made me loopy, depression and anxiety took over, struggling to get out of bed, but feeling guilty not having a job, trying to get one, but not at the top of my game and not being successful

aortic valve stenosis
In 2022 I had a hip replacement following covid infection as it affected the synovial hip fluid and was then alerted to the fact that there was a problem with my aortic valve. I need to have aortic valve replacement and am currently on the waiting list. In my first consultation the cardiologist said

I got my date for my Op ! Excited 😊
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve
