Question of the Week: Why did you start to run?
A lot of us start C25K having done little or no exercise since we left school. Others used to be active but life intervened - work, children, illness, injury, other responsibilities. Were you advised by your doctor that you needed to get more active. Or did you just take a look at your sedentary lifestyle

Advice for depressed husband
Need advice everyone. As I battle my own depression I see more and more signs my husband is depressed and suffers from anxiety as well. Important notes: -Middle aged, has horrible knees and may be looking at knee replacement - Knee issues have caused slowing of exercise and weight gain - Very upset

Bleeding
For those people who worry about stopping their anticoagulant for medical procedures in case they have a stroke maybe my experience might reassure them. All drugs have a half life so the amount of time you have to stop before a procedure is calculated taking this into account. For the "bans" it is

Post surgery pain
I previously posted a question about post surgical pain and Belbuca (buccal Buprenorphine,). I had hip replacement one week ago. The pain is excruciating. I conferred with my surgeon prior to the surgery because I was afraid of this. He told me not to worry. Ha! I am taking Oxycodone every 6 hours

Good news/bad news
hi all. The nurse rang last week to say that my liver results had improved somewhat but were still outside normal range. Because I have such active disease she didnāt want to leave me with no meds at all, so we decided to restart the leflunomide and see how the blood results go in two week, then make

Had a week in Seville to celebrate my 70th birthday. January I had a bad hip. Thought it was just a strain

Struggling coming off ropinerole
First thank you for all the replies to my earlier posts, before my second hip replacement. 4 weeks post surgery I am decreasing ropinerole slowly, just dropped from 0.75mg to 0.5mg after 2 weeks on 0.75mg. But struggling with symptoms starting early afternoon and getting worse as the evening progressed

Pulmonary Regurgitation - Breathlessness?
Hi all, I had a pulmonary valve replacement when I was 21 in 2013. I am 32 now, as the years have passed, the valve has started to leak. I have been told the leak is now severe. I am unsure if I am experiencing symptoms as I have major health anxiety (I bet I'm not the only one!), so I can never really
