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

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

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.

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

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

When should chemo restart post interval debulking surgery?
Hello ladies I am almost 5 weeks post surgery now and my consultant is happy to restart me on chemo now. Just wondered what experiences others have had in terms of coping with the ongoing recovery & chemo side effects. Thank you 🤗

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

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

I just had to tell this story, I’m sure plenty of us have experienced being fobbed off with different diagnoses before being diagnosed with endo, however I’ve just experienced the opposite way around. I was diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis in November of last year, this weekend I fell really ill

This one's about some actual, real-life running. And not being normal.
Day 10 post-headbump came and went, then day 11 and day 12, and I was staring wistfully at the ceiling with a constant message circling around my head like a hunting falcon: [i]“Wait until you feel normal”[/i]. I jolted up so quickly that the tin of peas taped to my head went flying off and smashed

Cold cap advice?
Im a very lucky gal whose cancer was caught early (by accident) at stage 1c. I've had surgery and about to start chemo tomorrow. Carbopentin only. They booked me a cold cap as I was originally going to have Carbo + Taxil which usually results in hair loss. Now the risk is lower so not sure whether you'd

GnRH Injections & Mirena Coil
Hey all, I have spoken about this at great length with my friends & partner but obviously unless you know what it feels like, it's hard to give an opinion. I had a laparoscopy in June 2022 where I was diagnosed with Endometriosis and had the majority of it removed. The hospital I had this done at

Dentistry.
I have PMR and have also been treated for Acoustic Neuroma by Gamma Knife surgery.The Acoustic Neuroma is no longer active but damage remains. I presently take 10mgm Prednisone daily in one dose. I need several dental extractions on the same side (upper jaw). Should I expect my dentist to refer me to
