Endo diet and bowel symptoms
I'm currently trying to deal with a return of bowel symptoms which most like seem to be due to bowel endo (I have a RV lesion plus a second nodule on the bowel). I've had a hysterectomy and oophorectomy and have already had excision. I had an MRI earlier this year which showed adhesions between the rectum

Endo back after surgical menopause - anyone else?
It's a long story so I shall keep it short - I had TLH/BSO with excision at a BSGE centre in 2017, putting me in surgical meno. Things were generally OK for a while but about 18 months ago I started to get symptoms again (pain, cystitis, then the unpredictable guts started). Gave up on the wait for an

surgical menopause
hi! What are your thoughts on including progesterone in your hrt regime if you are in surgical menopause and previously had severe endo? My hysterectomy included endo excision by an endo specialist. Is it necessary?

hot flushes
I’ve struggled with these for about twenty years and they have diminished over time. However, since going on preds, just over five weeks ago, they have got worse. Nothing like when they were at their worst when I was younger, but boy do they wake me up, when my sleep is pretty poor anyway, since the

Charity request for help: GCA patients in England
Dear members with GCA, as you may be aware, NICE and NHS England don't currently allow repeat treatment with tocilizumab for GCA patients who relapse. This means that if you live in England and you've had a year's treatment with tocilizumab, you won't be prescribed it again. However, a recent study

Tocilizumab
I have had a BCC removed from the side of my nose. One of my rheumatology nurses told me that there is an incidence of Tocilizumab causing cancerous growths. It did pop up out of nowhere and I was shocked when the dermatologist told me that it was a slow growing cancer. Has anyone heard of this link?

Laparoscopy oophorectomy
So I had surgery on Tuesday, was supposed to be a full open hysterectomy but I opted for laparoscopy removal of large endometrioma which may have been cancerous and removal of ovary and fallopian tube. I now have a 2 week wait for results of endometrioma and omental biopsy, if positive then I will have

Monthly bleed post oophorectomy
Following both ovaries being removed in April, I'm still having the monthly cramps and some light bleeding. Anyone else had this? I'm now concerned that there may be remnants of the ovaries left behind!

Suggested Food Ideas for After a Gall Bladder Removal
Hi, I really hope you can help me. In late December 2018 I had a Bariatric Op and went from 24sts to 11 sts. I suddenly hated food. In November 2022 I needed a Gallbladder Removal Op (with complications ie dilated ducts with gall stones here and a big stone as well as many smaller ones located in

Tocilizumab in the UK
I thought it may be helpful to share my Rheumy appointment yesterday. I have GCA and PMR and due to various reasons cannot tolerate Steriods. Instead I am treated with Methotrexate and tocilizumab which I received for a year as in standard in the UK. I was worried about what would happen when year expired

Gallbladder Removal?
Hey MPN-ers 😊 It’s recently become recommended for me to have my gallbladder removed. Not really in any pain but sporadic discomfort and upon ultrasound it was discovered my gallbladder is full of stones 🥴 I’ve been reading up on some patients side affects after and the stress it puts on the liver

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working

There’s no point to this post
Hi everyone, hope you’re all as well as can be. I’m approximately 3 1/2 years into this PMR. Sometimes it gets me down. I’ve been trying to start Humira for Ankylosing Spondylitis again, but the delivery company have been an absolute NIGHTMARE! It’s been so long since I last took it that I’m wondering
