Prolia
I have just received an email from my GP who has arranged for a F2F appointment to see me beginning January to discuss me starting to take Prolia. My last Dexascan in 2021 did show that I have osteoporosis, and I did take Alendronic Acid for the first two years of having Polymyalgia. Since then I have

Guidance for RLS
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and am so glad to have found you. I have suffered with RLS for years, and in the past year, it's become pretty severe. I get VERY little sleep. Currently, I'm taking Gabapentin and Magnesium Glycinate, but neither are helping--yet. I did take Carbidopa-Levodopa for

Late diagnosis of asbestosis
My Dad is 96 and has had progressive lung disease for many years. He's a non-smoker and I always wondered about the cause. On 16 October this year he was referred to a respiratory consultant for the first time. She took a detailed work history (again, the first one to do so) and we realised just how

Precancerous polyps removed, new symptoms 8 years later
So 8 years ago I had a colonoscopy due to severe constipation, a backup in my bowels, mucus and slight bleeding. They removed seven polyps, four of which were pre-cancerous, the largest polyp being 7 mm. They told me to be checked again in 4 years which I was, and it came back clear. Lately, I'd say

Ovarian cancer recurrence
Firstly, hi to anyone who may stumble across my post. Long story short, I was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer back in 2020. I had an ultra radical debulking surgery in August that year, followed by 6 rounds of carbo/taxol and maintenance via olaparib. I had a CT scan back in August which highlighted

Any advice for gastro symptoms which respond to steroids, but no diagnosis? Does normal colonoscopy cover the small bowel?
hi all, I hope it's ok to post here - I don't have a diagnosis of crohn's or colitis but am looking for information. I'm diagnosed coeliac (6+ years ago) and autoimmune hypothyroid, with ongoing and increasing gastro symptoms - the main problem being that I feel extremely unwell like I've got flu

Blood thinner options...
Diagnosed earlier this year. Working my way through due to uncomfortable physical side effects.... (Done edoxaban, rivaroxaban) on 5mg 2 x daily now. Does it follow that Apixaban if twice daily , is a lower dose therefore, more gentle on your stomach and your system? Wondering if there is ever truly

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum so would just like to relate my journey.

How to get Tirosint?
Morning all! The reaction I'm having after taking after taking my levothyroxine tablets has become more overt and severe. I had stopped it for a while and reintroduced it and within 10 -15min of swallowing I have throat, lip and facial swelling with breathing problems. I have Teva for comparison

What's your experience of coming of steroids
So I have my rheumatology appointment next week so hopefully will get a better understanding of what's going on. In the meantime I am on mycophenalate and a weaning dose of prednisolone for eye inflammation, started with 800mg in December and am now on 2.5mg before stopping in 2 months time. However

Does anyone have a comment about taking a Lecithin supplement for a person with PD?
I have long taken a Lecithin capsule daily for memory enhancement as it is a precursor of acetylcholine. A recent article about PD stated "loss or drop in dopamine levels results in the accumulation of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger nerve cells use to signal muscles to contract, leading to the

Colonoscopy polyp worries
Hiya there, 34yo male here who had a colonoscopy 2 weeks ago after having abdominal and back pain, constipation on and off since June. I had a positive FIT test which my doctor believes to be because I have an anal fissure and I have rectal bleeding. The colonoscopy was clear apart from a 4mm sessile
