Bloods a month after taking carbimazole.
I've now had my bloods re tested a month after dr put me on 10mgs of carbimazole . Bloods originally TSH 0.01 now 53.40 (0.27-4.2) T4 34.3 now 8.2(12-22) T3 4.1(3.1-6.8) didn't retest but private test 2 weeks ago was 3 2 so presumably it may be abit lower B12 265 now 255(179-2000) Folate 3 now >20(3.9

Experience at Papworth and Barts
Hello everyone, I will be having mitral valve replacement at some point… I’ve got to have an angiogram next week and then discuss hospitals with my Cardiologist. He mentioned Papworth and Bart’s, does anyone have any experience in either of these two for heart surgery? He said Bart’s might have a shorter

A letter has finally arrived! Trigeminy?!
Well, the ECG was on the 8/9 & the letter was dictated on the 30/9. It was then typed on the 5/10 & has arrived today. Ventricular bigeminy but the letter says trigeminy too?! Which appears to be an electrical issue with my heart? One consultant is more concerned with the electrical side of cardiology

update after fourth ablation
Appointment with EP yesterday gave the thumbs up to cut out the flecainide. Not needed as have not had any blips since a quick reset (cardioversion) in April after the fourth ablation in March. Besides, the flecainide is causing wide qrs so it’s becoming more problematic than helping. Anyone had problems

Pregnancy pain relief
Wondering if anyone has any tips for pain relief while pregnant? I'm currently 6 weeks pregnant and today I've really struggled with pain across my entire back, to the point I've laid in bed sobbing tonight. My usual go to would be deep heat/voltarol/ibuprofen gel but none are able to be used during
