I got my date for my Op ! Excited š
I have a damaged mitral valve with stenosis and regurgitation ( caused by Rheumatic fever as a child) Started getting symptoms 8 years ago and gradually I have deteriorated. My last echo in March showed the stenosis had got worse. I was told they wanted to try a Valvuplasty repair before the OH valve

Diagnosed HBP Dec 2022. On Amlodipine 5mg since Jan 2023. All good as at May 2024.
Prescribed Amlodipine 5mg daily early Jan 2023. By mid Feb the meds did their job with mild side-effects (numbness in hands/feet with swollen ankles from sitting at a desk for extended periods). These moderated 10 days. Sitting long periods is no good = swollen ankles. Exercise resolves that within

Struggling with week 8
I am completing week 8 run 2 and I've been exhausted this week. I've bought some electrolyte tablets and found they helped on the first run of thus week. I have been overheating and actually felt a little sick after a run last week due to having to do evening runs and the humidity. Anyone else running

Surprise at GP
had an appt this morning about gut/urgency issues and finally got round to asking what my very first TSH reading was, in August 2021, 3 months post hip replacement surgery. My understanding was that I was borderline - I didnāt even know what that was! I was retested six weeks later and a bit higher,

Knee replacement and Parkinson's
Husband with Parkinson's getting steadily worse now, particularly balance/walking. Diagnosed 5 years ago, probably had it 3/4 years previously. The problem is that he now needs total knee replacement for both knees. We have a very long awaited appointment with Neurology nurse in October to discuss

Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Medical Cannabis?
Has anyone tried medical cannabis for pain relief? I have severe arthritis which limits my life quite a lot, my doctor wonāt refer me for knee replacement until I lose more weight, and being on Rux has meant more weight gain! Obviously will need to ask haematologist about. It is quite expensive and
