How do you get independent medical advice!
So the NHS are now protecting themselves! I can’t trust anyone! They’re all f’ing liars! So 5 years ago I was opened and shut at a private hospital! Sent to tertiary care for ‘priority’ surgery! Obviously didn’t get it!.. Waited in excess of almost a year! Tried on various treatments, then taken into

Total knee replacement
Hi and good sunny morning to you all. 6 weeks ago I had a total knee replacement should have been a 3 day stay but I was in hospital for 3 weeks. I developed phumonia and a PE. I'm struggling to recover on top of that I've had no RA drugs for about 10 weeks and won't be allowed back on my biologic drug

HRT
Hi can anyone give me any advice please , I’m waitng to start HRT because I’m going through horrendous peri menopause symptoms but need to speak to my haematologist first . Is it safe to have hormone patches or spray when you have a MPN ( unclassified ) because of risk of clotting ? praying it’s ok

Looking for help please
I'm looking for some help please. I have been referred to a rheumatologist but the waiting list is at least 6 months long. In the meantime my Othopedic surgeon says he cannot continue to treat me until I have a firm diagnosis as I need joint replacements. I have been poorly for about 2.5 years now

Recovery after Mitral Valve Replacement

Although i hear the ticking sound of the mechanical valve it stopped bothering me after the first day. INR levels playing

I’m 44, do I need HRT? Please help!
My periods stopped all of a sudden when I was 43 back in September 2020. They came back in July 2021 for 3 months. Although the first two were only 22 days apart. Then they stopped again in September 2021. I’ve had awful sleep issues, extreme hair loss, extremely dry skin, aches and pains. Brain fog

Poor nail quality
Does anyone else have extremely poor nail quality? My nails are in a terrible condition..if they grow 1 mm, they split and break. They look like I do 15 hours of manual labour a day. I have considered acrylic nails but think that would only make matters worse. This is accompanied by increased hair
