GP vs. Endocrinologist
continued….. Dear Health Unlocked, Thank you for very helpful responses. I wrote to my GP in November 2023, stating that there should be no reduction in my levothyroxine prescription from 75 to 50 mcg daily: “Previously, directly with yourself, we agreed that my hypothyroid condition would be dealt

Bitter Taste In Mouth
I have had a persistent bitter taste in my mouth since the end of December and the only respite that I get from it is either when I am sleeping, eating or drinking! It’s so bad that it is making me feel quite unwell! I am doing everything that has been advised eg drinking lots of water, brushing teeth

Getting 2024 off to the right start
Hello everyone, Some of the activity on our NRAS HealthUnlocked platform has recently caused us distress at NRAS and as we are still at the start of a new year, I thought I would write a post to remind us all of the purpose of this forum and press re-set. I recall clearly the first time the original

Sensitive - OTD result
hello beautiful bunch of warriors 🥰 OTD is here and w got our BFP! I know ita still so early but I cannot believe we were so lucky! Bitter side of the story, I woke up with a nasty ear infection. I’ve just left my GP surgery as I’ve been prescribed amoxicillin 3 times a day for 5 days, saying that

deranged LFT and Gallbladder perforation
hi, hoping someone may have experience like mine. I had a perforated gallbladder whilst in hospital with Sepsis back in November. Because of my weight and existing issue the team didn’t want to operate as keyhole wasn’t an option so would have involved open surgery. So I was put on antibiotics for 6

Major surgery and a Vasovagal event
I’ve been taking 5mg pred for a while. Reduced to 4.5 and after a few weeks began to feel unwell. I told my doctor who said go back on to 5mg. I then went into hospital last week. I had gluteal reconstructive surgery. The anaesthetist suggested I should increase my pred. So I did the sick day rule and

Surgery Today!
I’m having spinal surgery today in my neck. So glad it’s finally happening but rather nervous too. I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen. Not sure if it’s RA related or not.

Control endometriosis with diet?
Hi All, So I've been told I may have a cyst in my right ovary and suspected endometriosis as well as adenomyosis. This was only detected because I was in considerable amounts of pain last year and had to in emergency to the hospital At first I was dismissed and told it is 'only period pain' and I should

Small hernia
I have Stage 3 low grade ovarian cancer and had debulking surgery 18 months ago. I got over the surgery very quickly and have been very lucky with no recurrence so far. Yesterday I saw my Oncologist who said she had found a small hernia but I should carry on as normal but avoid heavy lifting. I’m

cataract surgery and prednisolone dose
This morning I had my eyes tested. This time last year I was told I had the beginnings of a cataract in my left eye, due to prednisolone. Today I was told that, thanks to prednisolone, the cataract is now ready for surgery. I said I didn't want it yet, because I am trying to get my prednisolone dose

Brown discharge after lap/excision and Mirena coil
hi all, pleased to say I had a very successful laparoscopy experience two weeks ago now - just sharing some positivity for anyone anxious ahead of theirs as I was terrified and freaking out. My scars are healing really well and I’ve been keeping pretty positive. During surgery I had a lot of endometriosis

advice on results please!!
Hi, I recently had my bloods done with monitor my health on 10/01/24 and the results indicated low folate and thyroid levels not optimal. I then spoke to my GP but they dismissed the private tests and asked for me to have my bloods done again which I had done on 25/01/24 only because I got the appointment

Had surgery
I have finally been listened to by surgeon and had a decompression procedure. It has eased the tugging pulling electric zapping sensations in my leg off quite a bit...( the mri showed L5 S1 compressing the nerve. It is still there but I can live with it at the moment. He said if it doesn't resolve totally

Help with "sick day rules"
Hello, It's been a while. I am struggling and need some dose guidance please. My normal dose is 10mg per day. I delivered Mark to hospital on Sunday for a planned Total Knee Replacement which took place on Monday morning. He's doing very well, no pain (typical of him lol) and he was discharged yesterday
