from PD to HD
Hi everyone. This is question is for anyone who is either having HD or has had PD and is switching to HD. I have been a PD patient since the beginning of my journey. I chose it as I felt it would allow me to go on working partime and have a next to normal life balance. Unfortunately, my PD exit site

advice sought
I’m on APIXABAN with no effects, however my GP surgery (the pharmacist) has suggested I take a STATIN (Atorvastatin) because of slightly high cholesterol (5.11). I’m good with that esp having had it all explained to me, however, does anyone else take a statin alongside their anticoagulant and if so

Had enough - NHS and severe pain
Hey everyone, long time no post! I am really struggling at the minute as my pain and symptoms are getting worse by the day and I still haven't been given any indication of a date for my excision surgery even though they told me on 1st December it would be less than 6 months (I know it hasn't been 6

Annual TF test
It's been a while since had to battle with GP after they reduced Thyroxine to 75 resulting in a return to many of the old symptoms over 6 month period. Your help and advice at that time was invaluable. Resolved after full blood screen confirmed no other issues and speaking with senior GP who was

Hi so my story to date, I have had ovarian cysts every 6 to 12 months for about 12 years. Everytime intense pain, bleeding, few ruptures requiring surgery over the years. Repeatedly told I'm young (I am now 31) and people can have constant cysts but no further investigation offered as to why apart from

Sorry :( me again (post surgery question)
Hello lovely community. You guys have been so helpful to me recently so wanted to gauge advice again. I had a miscellany of things done last Wednesday… copied and pasted exactly from my follow-up letter so I get nothing wrong: hysteroscopy, endometrial biopsy, Novasure endometrial ablation and laparoscopic

Yearly endo nonsense
I've given up ranting, this just seems to be yearly confirmation of what we are up against (sadly most don't get as far as Endochrinoloy. My GP surgery recently asked me to confirm my Levo dose? They prescribe it each month so is it compliance? I replied 150mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg Liothyronine (I've

Wound healing and Steroid Use
I have been on Prednisone for just over a year. I am down to 10mg and cannot titer down without flare. I am waiting for approval for Kevzara. I have noticed that when I get a small cut or skin abrasion (which is more frequent since my skin is thinner with steroid use) It gets very red and takes a long

Metoprolol
I have recently gone from PAF to the AF being semi-permanent. I have been prescribed metoprolol which is helping but every pharmacy I contact, and also my own prescribing surgery are finding it very hard to get hold of. Anyone else have this problem? I am in UK.

Unexplained pain in the mornings:
I recently began tapering from 15mg after my PMR diagnosis down to 10mg over a couple of months, following the usual NHS protocol, but on 10mg I began to get pain in the upper back between the shoulder blades, and in my arms, upper and lower, and especially on the right, and sometimes behind the knees

Negative Posting About the NHS
Hi all. Recently I have seen some very negative posts/responses to people with regards the NHS and it's lack of performance, commitment, etc., to TBI sufferers. It is so bad that like a used car forum where people only post when they have a problem, never to say they have a great car, I'd like to somewhat

post right hemicolectomy functional bowel disorder
my son age 7 during storm Emma passed out and vomited continuously, we had to take him to the nearest accessible hospital with ice chains on the car , they just said it was viral. A scan the next day revealed intersusception so his bowel was blocked , he developed sepsis. He had a right hemicolectomy

Waiting forever for Heart MRI
At my echocardiogram, I was told I needed to go direct to A&E and they they had spoken to cardiology and I was to be admitted. I wasn’t they just sent me home. Had to chase up my emergency cardiology appointment, which was a month from echo. Now I’m awaiting an heart MRI. Apparently 3 month wait
