Light-Headed
I had a triple heart bypass after the first in 2012 and an
ICD
fitted in 2019 after the second. 10 days ago, I started feeling very light-headed. I have had no change of meds (either dosage or type) . I take Ramipril, Amiodarone, Asprin, Bisoprolol, Ezetimibe daily.

Does IUD help endo
I have doubled in size since getting my IUD and have starved myself to loose weight I’m down 10kg but smoky bmi is still really to get surgery I really want to take it out and try my diet and exercise without it to achieve weight loss but I’m scared that the pun will be agonising again. My doctor

Post op advice
I'm 2 weeks post laparoscopy and I'm struggling quite a bit with feeling generally overwhelmed with everything. I initially went in thinking I had endo in 3 main areas, but my operation ended up being 2.5 hours longer than originally estimated and ended up having the following removed: - 4cm cysts -

Missed miscarriage and endo
Hi warriors, Just wanted to share my story, because I feel so low and heartbroken, and I'm sure there are women here who can relate to my experience. The loss that comes with a miscarriage is hard enough, but then when I also have endo, it's that sinking feeling that my womb is just broken and it's

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?

Mirena coil
Does anyone have experience of mirena coil? I'm approaching 50 and my GP has suggested switching to that from Gedarel (combined pill), which I've been on for years with no problems. I've never liked the idea of the coil but they won't prescribe Gedarel after 50... Hopefully I'll have reached the menopause

Help interpreting results & likelihood of diagnosis if I saw a private practitioner.
Good afternoon, I’m at my wit’s end and would very much appreciate help interpreting recent blood tests and symptoms. I previously posted a few weeks back with details of private tests carried out with Monitor my Health on 24/1/23. They were as follows: TSH 4.74 mu/L (0.27 - 4.2) FT4 13.9 pmol/

6 weeks post excision surgery and still can’t walk far.
Hi, I’m 42 years old and I had a laparoscopy with four incisions 6 weeks ago. The surgeon said endo was severe and excised it from all of my reproductive organs and from my bladder, pelvic ligaments and an artery. They also removed endo cysts from both ovaries. Apparently everything was stuck together

Endo and Merina Coil
Hey ladies! I've just come back from my first gynaecology appointment. I've been told I have very common symptoms that point to my pain being endometriosis related (I already have pcos) I was under the impression I was there to discuss the laparoscopy my Dr referred me for, however my Gyno said that

Hello. I very much want a hysterectomy as I have suffered with endometriosis for years I feel like this would be the answer.

Mirena IUD
What’s everyone’s experience with the mirena coil? I have had mine for 4 months now and had it inserted whilst I was under for my lap.
