DBS. Did it improve your life as much as you hoped?
Well I feel the DBS conveyor belt moving again, bringing me closer to the surgery date. I have an appointment with Professor Silverdale in a couple of weeks and I have questions to ask. Can anyone reading this who has had the surgery give me their honest thoughts as to whether the DBS surgery has improved

Methotrexate
Hi, I have been on Prednisolone for the past two years for PMR and after various flares, ups and downs, am currently tapering and am at 9.5 mg daily, decreasing 0.5 mg every two weeks. At a routine drug review at the surgery this week the pharmacist said she was surprised I had not been put on Methotrexate

Varicocele surgery or continue with IVF?
My partner (32M) and I (32F) are supposed to be starting IVF in 4 weeks. We're in the UK and this will be our only NHS funded round, after this we'd have to self-fund. However, this morning he was told he has a grade 2 bilateral varicocele. This is really frustrating because this is the second test

Getting my life back
I wrote awhile ago that I was scheduled for a Wolf Mini-maze procedure at the DeBakey Houston Heart Center. I suffered through a year of blood thinners first. I am now 3 weeks out since my surgery. Dr Wolf did his magic on my heart and put in an LAA Atriclip so I am now free from blood thinners and

Cognitive skills
I had open heart surgery over four months ago. Straight after the surgery I felt fine and could hold a conversation with people. The week after (once home) I felt I was present in the room but struggled to communicate. I would have the conversation mapped out in my head along with what I wanted to

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

First time posting here with questions
Hello, I was wondering how to tell if you need b12 injections when you take oral b12 and your serum b12 always comes out looking great? I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

Coming off Prostap & Tibolone?
Hello all. Wondering if anyone could tell me their experience of coming off a course of Prostap (with or without Tibolone/HRT) please? If you’ve been through this, can I ask whether you just stop cold turkey? Or is it done gradually? Do you need to let your gynae know? Or was it just done on your

Had lung surgery - would you be willing to share your experience?

Did anyone not take birth control following excision surgery?
Hello, I'm due to finally have surgery to remove endometriosis in 2 weeks' time after 12 years of trying to get doctors to take my pain seriously. I've had an MRI previously which showed endo behind my womb and on my uteral sacral ligaments, but I also have bowel and bladder symptoms. I met with my

Time to Leave
I have visited and enjoyed all that this forum has offered during my main cardio based issues. Those who know my story know that whilst undergoing extensive OHS, or more to the point - after surgery, I was to suffer a variety of complications from which anyone should have prevented my survival. Sadly

First period on progesterone only pill
Hey everyone💗 I was put on Desogestrel (the progesterone only pill) around 2.5 weeks ago to help 'manage' my endo while I wait for surgery and I would normally be due on my period in a few days time but I'm not really sure what to expect now I'm on the POP. My consultant said that I won't bleed and

perineal myxoid pseudotumor of fat
I have had CKD3B for 7 years. I am 76 years old. I suffered from end stage interstitial cystitis After battling it for 5 years. My ureters would back up fluid into the kidney and cause UTIs and hydrophynosis, landing me in the hospital on IV antibiotics for 5-6 days, 6 times that year. My urologist

Feeling hopeful.
Brook to Freshwater coastal path. Sunday was a perfect day for walking this route. Wild, windy, bracing, exhilarating. This footpath is rapidly disappearing into the sea so I was keen to do it again before it is gone. [i]This [/i]is what makes me happy. I’ve had a good few days feeling energetic

6 weeks after surgery - am I doing ok?
Hi all, Had a pretty tricky last few months, was diagnosed with endocarditis at the start of November (had been feeling ill for a few weeks before), the infection responded well to IV antibiotics over a 6 week period so that was a positive. However due to several other developments I also needed

Bra after lung surgery?
What bras did you find most comfortable post surgery or maybe I should be asking, what bras did you find most tolerable? (Not initially after but a few weeks after surgery). Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm asking on behalf of someone else. Also, we are currently working to create a lung cancer

Blood tests
Hello, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis over 20 years ago. I therefore have regular blood tests to check that the medications I take are not negatively impacting me. In November last year I had an abnormal blood test result at hospital (ALT was 88, other liver tests were in range). I was told
