Please help me advise my friend
As you can infer from these numbers, she is feeling extremely unwell, and although this must be seen in the context of complicated non-thyroidal illness including
ileostomy
and rapid transit, so likely malabsorption, we would very much welcome all input re t4/tsh, and folate/ferritin GP input is described

Will surgery have long term effects?
This will leave me with an
ileostomy
- stoma and bag - permanently. Will this effect the absorption of thyroxine? Any other effects I should be aware of?

Need pneumatic sequential pump for secondary lymphedema. But what kind?
Compression garments don't feel right over the stoma/
ileostomy
. Have hernia there as well. lSo I'm told to get a pneumatic pump with sequential compression and at least three chambers and two legs, etc. How can I find such a pump? What kind does anyone have experience with?

Can you reverse a ileostomy if you only have have a large bowel.
I had an emergency surgery for a perforated bowel. Have not seen my Gi docter yet and today when I went for my appointment I was told I was there on the wrong day it was yesterday. I was told buy the surgeon who did my whole fixing that my gi might suggest removing a portion of my large bowel before

ileostomy
I'm relatively new to having an
ileostomy
, it's not been a whole year yet. I'm finding that I am having to change my bag more often as the weather warms up as i'm getting small leaks almost daily.

Oncologist prescribed omeprazole which helped a bit but I’m trying to work out is it the chemo or the
ileostomy
? Did any of you lovely ladies who were or are on caelyx get this problem ? Thanks

Absorbtion with ileostomy
If
ileostomy
is causing poor absorbtion of thyroxine could this explain the test results?

Stage IV endo - IVF
I have had 2 laparoscopies and finally last year had a laparotomy where I had to have a bowel resection (with
ileostomy
) & stents in kidney tubes they removed a massive amount of adhesions and scar tissue but as we all know that only results in more scar tissue!!!

wanting to work when you have lupus
I have lupus which is attacking my kidneys [only mildly I guess as I don't need dialysis] I am constantly tired, I have high blood pressure and blood clots, and an
ileostomy
which gets very noisy and I feel too embarrassed to have a lot of human contact [don't want to have to keep explaining it to everyone

Bowel obstructions
And how many of you now have a colostomy or an
ileostomy
? I have recently had a short bowel
ileostomy
January 6th, this happened because of collapsed bowel at the Ileocecal junction due to 2nd reoccurrence, and I was half way through treatment with Carboplatin when it happened.
