Pain in hand when writing
I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my right hand when I have been at college writing and it has got so bad sometimes I can't write. I have tried some gels to help relieve pain and some support bandages. Does anyone else get it and how do they cope with it. Thankfully I have passed my Numeracy class

Gallbladder removal even more fatigued
Had to be admitted to hospital last Monday as emergency. Never been so ill they removed my gallbladder on the Tuesday said it was badly infected and and all the gallstones had gone solid. Had keyhole surgery anybody else had this done ? Was just wondering if having PBC makes the recovery any longer ?

Sex after surgical menopause
Hi there, I realise this might be a delicate topic but I'm wondering if anyone has any advice or tips for me! I've been in the surgical menopause since August 2010 after having a BSO at age 33...unfortunately I can't have HRT as my tumours were oestrogen-receptive and I'm finding some aspects of

What is the brand name of your URSO if you had the itch upon starting and how is your prescription for it written.
I can't help wondering what others are on for PBC medication-wise with regards to the URSO. I have the URDOX brand and my GP gives me a prescription with just Ursodeoxycholic Acid and the mgs/tabs per day. Have heard such a thing as generic drugs but not fully sure what that means and if so, are there

Bile.
Been reading on here about the liver and bile as in when it is made recently. Thought it would be of interest to read this extract from netdoctor.co.uk "Bile is the thick, greenish fluid, secreted continuously by the liver cells at the rate of up to one litre per day. It is stored and concentrated

I am looking to find out any information from anyone who has experienced removal of ovaries pre menopause?
I ‘m 42 with a history of endometriosis and fibroids and a Mother who died from OC aged 57 (diagnosed at 46). I have just had my annual ovarian screening and am awaiting an appointment with a consultant after another potential fibroid has been found, it’s blocking the view of my left ovary so the sonographer

Any tips for dealing with fatigue associated with surgical menopause?
I seem to be really, really tired most of the time (not even a strong cuppa wakes me up!) and I'm suspecting it's the surgical menopause. (I can't have HRT as my tumours were strongly oestrogen receptive). My gynaecologist gave me a review paper to read from the Royal College of Gynaecologists/Obstetricians

Great Sunday Times Article Dec 09
This article came out recently in the Sunday Times - brilliantly written story: I was just 40 when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. That’s pretty unusual — only 15% of cases occur in women below the age of 50. It’s one of those diseases that’s completely unsexy. It lacks the trendy factor: we don

Ovacome launch Young Ovarian Cancer Support Network
Hi everyone. I'd like to introduce myself. I'm Kerry, I was 37 when I was eventually diagnosed last year. I finished treatment (surgery and chemo) in February 2010. After treatment ended I was relieved on the one hand but on the other, I felt as though I'd been cast adrift in the ocean, with no prior

Surgical menopause - how long it lasts without HRT? and sur meno related insomnia - any tips? Am going slowly bonkers from lack of sleep...
Since my op last August I've been in surgical menopause (with a couple of 'holidays' due to HRT as part of IVF treatment). My tumours were oestrogen receptive so I can't have any HRT normally long-term, nor oestrogen creams, nor lots of phyto-oestrogens. I'm really struggling at the moment with insomnia

Is right sided discomfort PBC or gallstones?
I'm currently having tests to determine if the discomfort in the upper right quadrant under the ribs which moves around the upper chest, hurts my ribs and sometimes settles between the ribs, accompanied by bouts of nausea is caused by the gallstones or PBC. Does anyone else have these symptoms or have

Maimie's Blog - Festive Cookie Cutter of Great Britain
Interestingly, this cookie cutter is missing Northern Ireland and we are planning to add NI to our arsenal next year . This means I’ll need a new shape for December 2012’s gingerbread-making factory that my kitchen usually becomes (not always with gloriously successful results: always edible, not always
