musical instruments I shouldn’t play
I’ve just seen a theramin on the TV. I guess, with an ICD, I shouldn’t play one of these? Tia B

PD Dialysis - Week 5 - Training Day 2
Today, my PD nurse hooked me up and filled me with 1200ml of PD solution 2.5 today and I was to "Dwell" for 4 hours. She checked the TB test she did yesterday and it is looking ok. She also had me to bring my vaccination and immunization records that I keep on a card at home as well as my Covid immunization

struggling with Adenomyosis
Long post sorry in advance, I’m just struggling today and need some advice. Can anyone recommend an adenomyosis specialist? My consultant was a BSGE endo specialist so I had high hopes but since I was diagnosed in November after my laparoscopy he discharged me. He’s told me my adeno isn’t responsible

mirena coil threads
I have the mirena coil inserted at the end of July for the first time (approx 3 weeks ago) at first all was fine and I could feel 2 threads quite high up. I am currently on day 14 of a very light period (lighter but longer than usual) and I can only feel one thread which is quite low down. The other

Mirena and pain!
Ended up in A and E this morning with severe stabbing pain in my uterus/ ovaries and colon. I was diaognoised with endometriosis back in february this year via a laparoscopy. I had my left ovary removed and my uterus unstuck from my colon. The surgeon said he had to leave some tissue near my colon

Having mirena coil fitted
Hello! I’m 23, I’ve had endo for 10 years now. I had a mirena coil fitted when I was 18 but it was during my laparoscopy so I obviously wasn’t aware of it being inserted. Some complications and changes, it ended up ‘falling’ down. Then tried the implant and then the pill. Due to me having my symptoms

ICD's
Hi everyone, I've been waiting for a ICD fitted for over six months now and every time I call to ask for a date the hospital just says they will let me know but nothing happens so I was just wondering if anyone knew what the average waiting time is for this procedure

looking for advice/support - newly diagnosed and struggling.
I was taken to theatre in April for lap surgery (they only drained my cysts and sorted an intestinal adhesion) and following this was diagnosed with endometriosis. I wasn’t aware of the condition until this happened. Following this I have felt so isolated and have had no support. I saw a gynae 9 weeks

is there a cardiac uniform at all?
I was called Iron Man by my son after I had the ICD fitted. He’s into his Marvel universe but it stuck in my head. Each time I attend a hospital appointment I wear my Iron Man T-shirt. It’s become something of a uniform for me. makes me feel better in places full of ill people.

Only option was Mirena
IUD
(which I already have) and mini pill (which I took for a year and never again, turned out I have progesterone intolerance). Having to go privately with Benenden thanks to the length of the waiting lists and just looking for some guidance. Thanks!

Ongoing problems 8 months since surgery
I noticed a horrible, recurring shoulder/chest pain a couple of years ago which I initially put down to a possible injury. I realised something was wrong when it started getting worse, affecting my breathing and making me not want to talk when the pain was at it's worst. I called the GP who put me on

Merina coil and menopause
I had a merina coil fitted 2 years ago because of fibroids. After a few months my periods settled and and have only had 3 lights periods in the past year. How will I know if it’s menopause or the coil causing my few periods I’m 51.

Stopping Amiodarone Because of Side-Effects
Hi all, just wanted to share this with the group in case anyone else has had a similar experience. I have been taking Amiodarone since my last(yes, I've had 2!) cardiac arrest in Christmas 2019, with no obvious side-effect apart from burning easily in the sunshine. However, around 6 weeks ago

mirena coil help
Hi, I have been diagnosed with stage 4 endo through a lap last year. I was fine until a couple of months ago and now the pain is back for 2 solid weeks out of every month. My surgeon is reluctant to perform a hysterectomy because he said i have too much scaring and the risks are extremely high.
