Bloating
Hi all, I am on zodalex with HRT and not had many problems so far and has helped me a lot with my pain etc, however this month I’ve noticed my bloating has come back again and my belly feels swollen too. Does anyone have any tips on reducing the bloating at all? I am changing my diet slightly so hopefully

At a loss 😢
Hi there wondering if anyone out there has any advice. I had a bilateral salpingo oopherectomy 10 weeks ago. I was told after this op that everything should be good and I would be Endo free. My ovaries were “stuck” to the pelvis cavity. During the laparoscopy my surgeon took biopsies and also looked

So have my total right

What is Heart Valve Disease
Heart valve disease is a common, serious, but treatable condition that affects 1.5 million over 65s in the UK. Heart valve disease is caused by either wear or disease of the heart valve(s), affecting the flow of blood through the heart. When diseased or defective, heart valves may not open or close properly

Post AVR dental work
I read in my follow up notes to valve replacement that I must be on a course of antibiotics if i have dental work. Can anyone expand on this for me please? Is this for a check up or hygienist, or only for significant procedures? Do you go to your GP for the prescription or the dentist? Thanks

Heart valve replacement.
Hi everyone. Hope you are all OK. I have been told today that I need open heart surgery to replace a leaky heart valve. I am sending myself round the bend as I am scared stiff at the thought of this surgery. Any help or advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has had this done

Dose for new to HRT
Hi. I have just been prescribed Estradiol in patch form. I have not started to use them I have been prescribed 50mg. On the webpage you recommended "menopause matters" it suggests starting on a low dose around 10mg. Anyone have any experience of what dose is usual for new users, as I am considering

Ropinirole Reduction
Hello, some advise needed please. I have been trying to reduce my Ropinirole dose from 2mg to 1.5 mg for the past 3 weeks. For the first few nights all was well but this didn’t last long as the RLS kicked in again. I used to use Ropinirole before I augmented, then went to Pramipexole and I seem to

Aorta Valve problem 18 month post Triple Bypass
I guess I am a bit unfortunate. ( months post Triple Bypass I had made an excellent recovery. They inspected my Aorta valve during my op using an internal Echo and the said it did not need replacing. But in the last 6 months I feel to have aged 10 years. Angina has started, I get fatigue, even walking

Update on results and info from Rhuematologist.
The good news: I had an eye examine which included a Gloucoma check and damage or signs of GCA. I am in the clear and I have 20/20 vision with my glasses on, crisp she called it! The bad news: Not really bad but frustrating. The answer I got back from the Rheumatologist that I posted last Thursday,

Has anyone had HRT implants? Would love to know your experience and where you’ve had them done please
Hi ladies, I’m wanting to have Oestrogen and Testosterone implants as I don’t absorb transdermal HRT. It’s my only option left as I have dreadful menopause symptoms since my hysterectomy. As far as I know they’re not available on the NHS so I’m wondering if anyone can recommend a private clinic/hospital

Night sweats
Good morning. Hope all well. Off Phenergan tabs 5 night now. Sleep 3 hrs then awake for 3 hrs then 1 more hr. I wake dripping in sweat after first sleep. Didn't have this when on Phenergan. I had it previously but been on Ovestin ( hrt for nearly 2 years). That really helped but I don't know what started
