Experiences with

Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)

Hey everyone, If there's one thing we get a lot of questions about, it's TMS. YES! Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Hi, has anyone been through something similar? So it has now been 3 attempts to remove my coil. Today they tried as a hysteroscopy with local anaesthetic, 20 mins in and in so much pain they gave up. When they had one last look with the camera they noticed the coil and flipped upside down, strings wrapped

Hello I’m wondering if anyone can help. I had a procedure on Saturday to remove a fibroid and to remove my Mirena coil. After the procedure the nurse advised that the marina coil wasn’t there. Yesterday I received a letter to say that I’d been discharged from the gynaecologist. This morning I called

I was informed a few months before my last ICD check up that I had ectopic beats. Not so great news as, you guessed it, anxiety set in and my sleep pattern was totally messed up. I accept that Covid has made me far more anxious at times.

If it’s coronary heart disease, it’s likely one of my arteries is blocked and I’ll need a stent fitted 😳 If it’s cardiomyopathy I may need to have an icd fitted. He wont know for sure until I have CT scan. The palpitations I’m getting are coming from my ventricles.

Hey everyone! I’ve been on the Mirena Coil for a long time now and it was the best thing that I ever did. Only issue is it’s now expired... and all my pain and bleeding is coming back and getting worse and worse and I just feel so depressed because before the coil I would be bed bound due to the chronic

Hi y'all hope you're having a great day!! So I went to a new psychiatrist (last one retired) to talk about starting on medication and since I was there, I decided to ask for a diagnosis (I have obsessive thoughts, tics, social anxiety...) Well... First of all she said she doesn't like to put "tags"

So I've been on the Mirena for about 6 years (had a new one put in last year) and before that I was on the Depo shot for 4 years.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site! I have been diagnosed with "suspected" endometriosis and adenomyosis after years of struggling. They won't do a laparoscopy yet to confirm and wanted to try the mirena coil first. I had it fitted a couple of weeks ago on day 6 of my cycle (which I found horrifically

Hi everyone, hope you're ok. My consultant wants me to have a mirena in during my surgery, but I have done some research and seen that dienogest is possibly better for preventing recurrence (especially of cysts).
