Urgent help please: Getting an NHS GP to agree to blood tests for a private endocrinologist
Hello, I have a GP appointment in about an hour and it's to discuss having a blood test that has been ordered by a private endocrinologist. The person who recommended the private endo to me told me to try to get as many of the tests done on the NHS as possible. I'm not sure how to approach this with

Puppy sitting, infections, transplant impatience and the importance of taking photos
Another couple of months have flown by since my last post! Sadly no transplant calls in that time but I did have to go a short time off the list in order to kick a chest infection into touch. Over that now and back on the list which is great news. Doing my best to soldier on with the exercise but been

Off Topic....Stroke, but I can't find a UK stroke forum
And I'm guessing that some people here may have experience with relatives/friends. This is going to be difficult to read, let alone write. It is quite a harrowing series of events. My 36yr old daughter (K) has had 2 acute strokes. K is hypothyroid + Type 1 diabetic + Bi-lateral Frozen Shoulders

Question about ovarian cysts
Hi all. I was diagnosed with a borderline ovarian tumour earlier this year. Had to have surgery to remove the tumour and ovary, but elected to keep the second ovary. Two months on and the second ovary has now started forming a cyst (although still simple and not a tumour at this stage).I'm feeling very

Trialling magnesium
Been looking for an answer to RLS since my twenties. At one stage I thought the cause might be beer but managed to eliminate that as the prime suspect, thank goodness. Tried ginko biloba tablets, thought we were doing well but eventually lost faith in that. Over the years it was only intermittent and

WOW, noticing today, after some weak days at 5mg prednisone, I am again feeling good and energetic, added meth and hydroxy dropped metformin
I was at 5 a few weeks go, but too hastily dropped and went to 2.5, and on the 3rd day at 2.5 felt terrible. Jumped back to 10 and then 7.5. And since I have gone back to 5, after maybe a week at 5, I am again feeling great, better than I did the last time I was at 5. There are some differences now,

A few questions for the diabetics here that are on insulin.
I'm a t2 diabetic and have been for over 20 years. Mostly I've kept it under control with A1C around 6, give or take a few. This was with metformin. My CKD has progressed to where I had to stop the metformin. My doctor tried a few other meds but they didn't work. A couple of weeks ago I started

5mg prednisone is working now, body feels like it has adapted to the lower dose
Aches and pains are much subdued. I do think I can keep lowering, but I am a little worried about my hands now. As in maybe the small amount of prednisone is helping down the inflammation there. I have had carpel tunnel symptoms for at least 10 years. Now I know I have some OA in the hands from the xrays

I called my doctor's office ahead of my Monday appointment to ask what my A1C was. It went from 7.7 to 7.3. I am disappointed that it wasn't lower with the amount of insulin I take. I know I can be better with my diet and exercise. I have been alot better using my CPAP. Disappointed was hoping for

Insulin working differently after cabg
Hi I've had a cabg x4. Before surgery my diabetes was stable using both a slow release and a fast acting insulin. Since the operation the insulin is reacting more strongly to the same foods & I can't seem get a balance without dropping - and whichever medics I ask they have no knowledge of this. I
