Walking Munro's with an ICD
Hi, Last year I was given an
ICD
implant and wondering how far I can go with exercise. I have tried to get back running, but struggling a bit. My daughter and I used to walk the Munro's in Scotland, but not sure if the distance or altitude is something a bit too much of a challenge.

Hysterectomy at 40 no endometriosis
I had my hysterectomy 2 days ago and although I am in pain I'm feeling relieved 😌. My consultant has told me he has found no signs of endometriosis and that my uterus was severely scarred from my 3 c-sections and my coil that had been embedded in my uterus. My bladder was stuck to my uterus and that

Potential ICD
The letter has stated that he's being considered for an
ICD
and he's very stressed about this. Firstly, is there anything he could be doing to improve his ejection fraction or is this something that just reduces in time?

MRI Result: Ovary Stuck to Womb yet gynaecologist says "no active endo"?
Hi everyone, It's been over one month since I was emailed my MRI results. I have yet to speak to my gynecologist to discuss them in depth. I waited a month to speak to my GP and she couldn't answer a single question. I am losing my mind. If anyone can shed any light on the results that would be so

returning to exercise after recent ICD placement
Good morning Following a VF arrest about 4 weeks ago I’ve now got an
ICD
fitted. Before the arrest I was running 10km every day and going to various exercise classes at our local Sports Centre Being active was sort of my thing.

DOES MEDICARE COVER DEXA SCANS FOR MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER
I have been searching the internet for the proper
ICD
codes to use for a DEXA scan for males with prostate cancer but can't find any. Has anybody else had a DEXA scan that was paid for by Medicare?

Employer not being supportive about endometriosis / invasion of privacy
Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to approach having an employer who is not supportive of endometriosis / treatment, and consistently asking for a lot of detailed medical information? I’m 29, diagnosed with endo at 25. I had a surgery almost immediately after being diagnosed

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and
