Hello, My name is Amie and I am new to the group. I was just diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in January. So far it has been a very painful, scary and frustrating experience! I never had any symptoms up until January and have been in horrendous pain ever since. Doctors in the hospital treated me

Help!
I'm at the end of my tether. I'm 74 and have had UTIs since 16 - usually 1-2 a year, easily treated. A couple of years ago they were getting more frequent and GP gave me standby px for Macrobid and with this I've managed to self treat at the 1st symptom. 5 months ago I had a bad flare up which took several

Help! Have I messed up
I have just had a telephone consultation with a GP hoping for help with the symptoms I have been experiencing. I tried to point him in the direction of the relevant guidelines for treating B12 deficiency, he said that he was familiar with the NICE CKS as he deals with B12 all the time and I m not anaemic

Heparin
Today they gave me heparin after treatment as my CVC has been clotting and the doctor prescribed it. I've never used it so wonder what some others who do have experienced? I have surgery scheduled Apr 1 and don't know when or it I need to not have it before.

Really upset with my GP
I had a telephone appointment with the GP today, I said as i will have been on 15mg for 3 weeks on Friday, I would like to go down to 12.5mg, so would need some 2.5mg tablets. He downright refused and said I have a blood test in 3 weeks and he will look at that and then decide what to do next. I told

Running bra
So, this is a bit niche but does anyone have any advice/sources for post mastectomy bras for running. A bit of background... My surgery was over 10 years ago I have tried various sports bras since but the only ones I have had and been happy with are cheap decathlon ones which clip at the back to a racer

Is Isosorbate Mononitrate 60mg necessary?
What I've got is very mild angina symptoms brought on by emotional stress. I'm 63, male. It's like a slight stitch, almost trivial. They've doubled my atorvastatin to 80mg pd. And "added in" Isosorbide Mononitrate 60mg pd to "alleviate symptoms". I'm happy with the statin, but the nitrate tablets seem

Is Isosorbide Monosorbate necessary?
It's all come as a horrible shock. Last week received cc'd letter from Cardiology to my GP saying I'd got Triple Vessel Disease with severe coronary calcification, lots of scary medical jargon, urgent increase in medication and an appointment with the intervention team in two weeks. No sugaring the pill

Latest endo appointment. Will not increase T3 as TSH now low!!!!!
About 6 weeks ago, because of a change in make of liothyronine I made a mistake and instead of taking 2 x 10mcg tablets, I took 2 x 20mcg.When I realised, I anticipated the worst. However, I was fine, in fact more than fine. My prescribed dose was 30mcg daily. But, I started to take 20mcg twice daily

Uncooperative GP
My husband died in summer 2022 in hospital. At the time I was having very successful B12 loading injections for anaemia but after his death I was overwhelmed with work. I had asked the surgery not to use my mobile phone number (which they insisted on having) and use my landline instead but the GP

Bowel preparation before surgery
Hi everyone! 💛 Just been on pre op assessment and nurse said I don’t need to do bowel preparation at home. I will have hysterectomy with bowel resection and Endo excision. Has anyone had bowel preparation at hospital just before the operation? I am quite concerned what is going on 🤷‍♀️

Hi everyone, A question for the laparoscopy ladies; How long did it take you to heal? It's been 3 months since my surgery, and I fear my pain is worse than before. I've been prescribed diazepam for pain which I'm taking twice daily alongside, paracetamol and menfamic acid. Is this residual pain from
