Hi everyone! I am wondering if you are able to share your experience with referrals, etc. I mentioned previously that I am on an 80-week waiting list to see an Endo specialist (NHS). I guess it will be another 80 weeks to have laparoscopy. Basically, over three years of pain and worry..I am considering

💤 sleep
I've always been a good sleeper but following the stroke triggered by brain aneurysm surgery. I've been regularly finding myself waking at 1-2am thinking it's the morning and time to get up. I'm living in a rehab unit so there are always staff around to reorientate me to the time but it's an annoying

PSA Rising
Asking for a friend of my father this time. He had surgery in december 2022 and everything was removed including glands. Gleason 4+5. His PSA has risen från 0.1 to 0.14 in 12 months. His doctor says to do nothing until it hits 0.2. But shouldn’t he do more? Maybe he doesn’t have advanced cancer yet.

Maternity clothes?
I'm having my next lap next Saturday, and was thinking about what loose clothes I have to wear post surgery. I don't really like loose clothes, but I have so much bloating with my endo / adeno that I am forever walking round at home with my jeans unbuttoned as it's so painful. It just occurred to me

Surgery in 3 weeks. Any post op tips?
I finally have a surgery date after first being referred to gynae August 2022. I had an MRI between this time which confirmed endometriosis so hoping this surgery will help with pain 🤞 Any tips post op? How long did people have off after it? I’m guessing it depends what they actually find when they

lung nodule / proposed surgery / scared and confused
Hello, thank you for this site. My best to all on this site for health and happiness. I’m not even sure where I may be at on this journey but am certainly scared and confused . In March of 2022 I had a kidney stone and a lung nodule was detected on right lower lobe and suggested follow up in 3 -6 months

The old vegan vs other nutritional diet comparison persists
The CABG5 rehab was a bitch in the middle of the pandemic, and I wouldn’t recommend
heart
surgery
for anyone if you can avoid it. My cardiologist told me that I had no options, and because he is a smart caring normally non-invasive physician, I believed him.

Do I need an Oncologist?
Originally had PSA test that came back 28+ and was referred to Urologist. I was not interested in Surgery so the Urologist referred me to a Radiation Oncologist. After the radiation treatments were over I went back to the Urologist to continue the Lupron treatments. My last visit with the Radiation Team

Nose surgery??
I had a major jaw surgery in 2022 to correct a severe underbite, and resultant chronic pain. I've been super self conscious of my nose (and the rest of my face) since and am having therapy. But I'm also considering getting nose surgery. What are your thoughts? What would you change?

AFIB, Besremi refused by insurance, and more
On December 1, I felt breathless, climbing stairs quickly and caring for my husband (who had open
heart
surgery
in November). I felt like my
heart
was beating fast, and I was winded. But it got worse: My apple watch said I was in AFIB. AFIB??? I have no heart issues.

T3 stopped 😡
Hi everyone ❤️ As some of you may know my gp stopped my T3 until I saw the endo on Dec 27th which didn't go well😠.. My gp said I would see the endo before my T3 ran out😂 this of course never happened so she gave me one months supply to tide me over. The appointment with the endo was for thyroid medication

Annual medication review...
Me again...I go to the hospital for my blood tests as it's just easier. The GP however is responsible for issuing it. Today I had an email saying " You are due your yearly routine blood tests for your annual medication review. Please call the surgery.' Last year the pharmacist just called me. Not sure

NHS Endo - South East - Pro T3 - Three referral choices...
Hi, I went T3 only 3 weeks ago after trying combination therapy for 6 months. At around the same I had my local surgery test for blood FBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues. To my surprise they also

advice after surgery/ any advice on natural remedies or how to slow the regrowth of endo?
I had my surgery on Wednesday to investigate my bladder pain. Turns out my bladder is clear but I had a chocolate cyst inside my ovary, and my ovary was stuck to my pelvic wall. I had a different surgeon from before, who indicated that my surgery wasn’t performed properly last time. So I am unsure if
