Experiences with

Genital tract infections

Just had my second round of Carboplatin. Tolerable so far then I get vomiting. Not much to come up as not felt like eating. I’ve been very breathless and simple day to day tasks beyond me. Wondering if any similar experiences with Carboplatin. Trying not to read anything worrying in to it.

Hello everyone, sorry for my English it's not my first language, I've been struggling with this for at least 3-4 years... my biggest issue is that the problem is causing me to be tired and unable to focus or be creative other than that I'm fine and don't feel a difference. Im almost 25, 1.85 roughly

Hello wise people, Diagnosed with PD 3 and a half years ago. Going through difficult time. My mum is at end of life with inoperable brain tumour - maybe a week or two to go (this has been very sudden). My dad is also receiving Immunotherapy treatment for lung cancer.

I don’t know if it’s available everywhere, but The Atlantic magazine has a podcast called Radio Atlantic. They have a current series titled Scripts.

Hi, I’m 11 months into my 15 month treatment for CLL. I’m on Ibrutinib with Venetoclax and it’s suited me well, and I’m really pleased that my bloods now appear to be normal.

Just posting in case it's useful to anyone else...🤞 I've posted previously about a hive style reaction I get after SC injections on my tummy. I've tried allsorts, including strong antihistamines and mild steroid cream, to ease the itch and calm the redness. I've now found that Arnica cream is the

Hi All, As I have written before, I live in Brasil where the only access I have to Buprenorphine is in the form of a patch. And it is expensive. So when I was in California recently, I asked my neurologist to write a prescription for Buprenorphine in tablet form. With my insurance it is quite cheap.

Hi everyone, I just got a yeast infection after so many years. I went to Dr. and they gave me 150 mg of Diflucan. I took it and after the first day I started to feel better.

Holland & Barrett have discontinued 30mg Ginkgo tablets, leaving 60mg and 120mg on the shelf. No more convenience for a 3 x 30mg dose. I tried a 120 but the increase in tinnitus which happens for me on dose day was uncomfortable so I won't be doing that again. It looks like more is not necessarily better
