Experiences with

Lung surgery

So I’m in the wheelchair

I was due to have excision surgery on the NHS today but got a phonecall last night from the hospital to say my surgeon was unable to do it because he had been caught by flight delays caused by Storm Ashley. Devastated. Had my hospital bag with everything sitting ready to go and had myself mentally

Hi everyone,I was just looking through my test results on my NHS App in prep for my next appointment with consultant and found that my CRP was 49 in Dec 23 when I was contracted with Covid when I was told all my results were normal.

I have always had depression since I was in my early 20s and

….then I’ll begin. On the 26th July I had abdominal surgery and was in theatre about 2 hours. 3 days later I went into Afib. Not too surprised but this went on for 47 hours. I average Afib between every 3-5 weeks for 18-28 hours. Never been a problem and I let it do its own thing. 3 weeks later

Lupus is pretty quiet at the moment (yay!) but always means one of the other issues is being a bugger. Currently, my APS is being an absolute devient, can't seem to stay within my therapeutic range at the moment and having lots of internal bleeds. Had to have it reset with vitamin K a few months ago

Hi, has anyone found any ingredients or medicine which can break down adhesions or loosen them? I've been recently told I have endotrima cyst , along with others, on left ovary and still have abscess on right. I'm sure I have adhesions affecting bowels and digestive tract from the years of inflammation

My husband had a double bypass on 2 October and last Thursday the top of his leg wound began to bleed (very little). Has anyone else experienced this. There is no infection as far as I can see but it is and always has been a little swollen. Eventually got a District nurse to agree to assess and dress

Last week I had a call from the GP surgery to arrange a blood test "to check inflammation levels". This is the first time since I was diagnosed in 2020.I'm currently in the second week of slow reduction from 2mg to 1.75. All was going well but recent events have meant I've been doing too much and it's

The wait is almost over—my surgery is in two days. I know it will be long. This will be the first time ever I am going through any surgery. Just wondering how it feels waking up afterwards.

I have recently had conversations with my Clinical Nurse Specialist about blood tests I have had in the last week. I was advised to take Folic Acid for several days with a follow up blood test. Not particularly sure why. I have my blood tests at my GP surgery so I get sent a list of what the consultant

Morning all,I have DIE and had surgery in 2016 to diagnose it. It was starting to go into my bowel and was wrapped around my appendix etc. I'm on the waiting list for hysterectomy/oophorectomy and endo excision ( over a year wait). I'm struggling and I'd really appreciate your opinion. I've had X4 lots

I recently mentioned I had a dexa scan,at which the radiographer told me ,unofficially, that I had osteoporosis in my left hip ( but not spine) she gave me some leaflets to read while awaiting report from consultant to GP. Yesterday I had a rather off hand call from a Clinical Pharmacist
