Has my Sertraline stopped working?
I have been on Sertraline for depression for 2 years. I was put on 100mg and it seemed to help, I began to feel like my old self again. My dose was gradually lowered down to 50mg. But towards the end of last year….things started to unravel. I got married last October and I wasn’t the slightest excited

Looking for others who have had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed in their 30s - to get your experiences
Hi all, I'm looking for personal experiences of those who had a hysterectomy with ovaries removed in their 30s. Little about me and why I'm asking. I have been diagnosed with adenomyosis and endometriosis. Had a laparoscopy with removal of some endometriosis in May 22, also had the marina coil fitted

I’ve been put in the waiting list to have a total knee replacement and the waiting list is approx 6 months. I’m on 17.5 mgs of pred. The surgeon has said my healing might be slow because of the pred.
