ICD
My diagnosis is I need to have an
ICD
fitted. I'm sure someone here has had it done, so just a few questions if I may. How long did you have to wait? Do you feel the benefit of having it done and in what way? Thanks in advance.

Spiritual OCD???
Hi, all. As you might already know from some of my previous posts, I deal with a lot of existential anxiety and depression produced from asking really deep questions. Many of these concern the afterlife, the meaning of life, the existence of God, ethics, identity, and other philosophical issues. Sometimes

Bleeding while on Pill every day
Hi, I had a bilateral salpinectomy in January 2018 and had the coil fitted at the same time. Mild endo was discovered during the procedure - I didn't know I had it until that point. The coil didn't work out for me and in March 2019 I had it removed and was advised to take the pill every day so as to

Cardiomyopathy
My dad currently is 54 and has a
ICD
fitted. He’s recently had another op to do with some wires being fitted or something and they are now saying pace maker or heart transplant. Can anyone please share any experience on this? I feel sad and worried at just 30 and also for my dad being just 54.

New to Having a CDI fitted
Can any one let my husband know how long it took them to accept they had a
ICD
nd trusted it. It is very early days not even a week since my husband had his fitted. It seems that he is very conscious of it as would be expected. He is probably expecting too much too soon.

Please can anyone advise?
Hi, I haven't posted for a while but I'm struggling at the moment. I had a laporoscopy in March and a coil fitted. I am constantly leaking fluid through my clothes and feel unwell. I'm on metronidazole and doxycycline given from A and E. My specialist appointment is in October. Think I need a hysterectomy

My coil isn’t helping :( any alternatives for endo?
I’ve had the Mirena for a 16 months and now the jaydess for three months. They both make me bloated, emotional, don’t take away my pain and give me migraines! Are there any alternatives that have worked for you ladies? X

Hysterscopy - lost coil
Has anyone had a hysterscope? I have one today to try to find the coil. They said I’d be waiting months if I opted for general and this coil is causing daily agony so I need it gone ASAP. Now the scope is today and I know I won’t be able to tolerate it, I’m so scared I’m thinking of cancelling

Has anyone had the minera coil and bladder issues? Like recurring cystitis or perforated bladder? I’ve had the coil in 5 months and have had issues from the very first day- more cramping, lots more pain etc etc. More frequent need to urinate (odd side effect!)

Hiring a car in Spain
Hi all Does anyone know if there are any restrictions on hiring a car in Spain if you have a
ICD
, or if anyone has done this or experienced any problems , I’m thinking that if you have a licence from DVLA there shouldn’t be a problem

Low Egg Count?
I have severe endometriosis and have suffered for many years. I have had an IUD for over 6 years and my first test on day 3 has shown a low egg reserve.

IUD Copper Coil problems
I had a IUD copper coil fitted 3 months ago and it’s caused me no end of problems. My periods have become much more heavier and painful. My depression has worsened and I feel low mood sometimes. I’ve also started having sleep problems since having it fitted and now having to take sleeping medication
