GENERALLY! Is there a correct sleeping position, right recovery position, left recovery position, back, high back support, v pillow, etc?
On an ordinary mattress, sleeping on one side, especially if overweight [now slightly👌], night after night, could it cause damage to internal organs, liver, stomach, heart, lungs etc. I have had back surgery [25 years ago], broken [fragile] clavicle right shoulder, broken skull, broken rib cage structure

Thinking of taking an ADT vacation
Hi, just got my latest PSA result yesterday...it was 0.07 ug/l down from 0.14 ug/l one month ago. I'm almost at the 6 month mark of my ADT journey. Six months ago, my PSA was 14.9 ug/l. I'm thinking of taking a break from the ADT because of the side effects. Is it too risky? Would the PSA start

I'm struggling with pain and fatigue but feel my rheumatologist will not permit me to have my mabthera infusion
It look 5 long years to diagnose my rheumatoid until everything seemed to go. My consultant at the time apologised- I think I was sero- negative.. but then it showed up and I finally got treatment. I have tried various combination of drugs and was finally put on mabthera. My new rheumatologist says

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

Monitor for Afib
Hi all,Having gone into permanent Afib after a covid infection with no previous history I've had a cardioversion whist on amiodarone.

afib and chest infection
hi. My afib has been steady for around 3 months (ie no episodes). My HR runs around 52-60. I’ve started with a chest infection yesterday (can remember feeling like this for a long time) I checked my afib via Apple Watch and although it says I’m in sinus rhythm my HR is low to mid 90’s. Could this

Portable air purifier for outdoor exercise with allergic asthma
It is the peak of spring allergy season here, as well as other great stuff like air pollution. So I just wanted to share the results of today's testing of my wearable air purifier for asthma. I am lucky to have wooded hills out of my door, so I do not have to scare people while walking there. The device

Dont panic.All I could think of was Corporal Jones.
Hi everyone. Earlier today I had to go to the Post Office to renew my driving licence. Couldn't do it online as passport had expired. They take your old licence, payment and then take your photo. Made a proper spectacle of myself as I was literally gasping for air. The Post Office counter lady was

Heart Pain
I wonder if somebody can assist with a question. I'm a 46 year old with a minor mitral valve prolapse. Possible sinus nerve damage on the lower ventricle but minor. I'm not on medication. There is no known 'major' issue or treatment plan suggested by cardiologist. I am very fit with low heart beat. Have

Life Insurance
Hi, I have been diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I'm 54 (f) and live with my 25 year old son (divorced). I've just realised I don't have life insurance (I know!), and wanted to ask if anyone has experience of decent companies who won't rip me off. I'm worried sick about leaving my son with extra

Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

Slow Heart Rate
Does anyone else get episodes when their heart rate goes very low? I’m in AF the whole time and the only medication I’m on is propranolol. Since being AF my heart rate has increased but not massively and I tend to be around 80bpm. As far as I can tell my heart rate never goes above 100 unless with
