Private Consultation Findings - thoughts on next steps
Hello everyone. I am looking for some advice and experiences on Dienogest / Zalkya. Diagnosed in 2022 via lap by general gynae and never prescribed anything. Own GP has tried me on contraceptives & meds for pain management, which nearly tipped me over the edge. After a scare with my mental health,

Spinal injection
Hi everyone wow look at all these replies tells me there is a grey area on this subject. I had an injection in 2014 I only got 2 weeks relief so they wouldnt give me another one. I've had guided steroid injections in my 2 shoulders and omg it worked instantly!!!!. I've suffered ever since I had surgery

Dissected aortic aneurysm
After reading some of the posts I realise that I am not alone in not having much information about my condition. My dissection was not traumatic, in fact I didn't realise I had it until I had an echo cardiographer and then a ct scan,. Naturally I 'googled' the condition afterbeing told by my GP that

WolfMiniMaze in Japan
I've got really lucky to get a surgery date in the 1half of December 2023. I'll be celebrating my 67th birthday in Japan, hopefully already AF free. My symptoms are really getting annoying as I get AF from music, especially heavy metal and today from jazz. Some voices , especially bass and/or angry ones

Dexa scan and low vitamin D
A GP at the surgery is insisting on a dexa scan as my TSH has been suppressed since I trialled T3, and she’s adamant I’m to reduce my levo dose (see my last two posts if more information needed). My question is, I had dire vitamin D levels of 22 and deficiency for I suspect at least 7 years whilst carrying

2nd Recurrence - treatment options
Hi everyone I am afraid it is back....4 months after second line treatment which means I am now platinum resistant. CA marker tripped (mine very sensitive). PET scan on Thu to see what is going on. I am devastated as I had such a good response and successful surgery for the first recurrence. I am

sore, red eyes.
I’ve developed sore eyes this year. After going back and forth between GP and Optician, and making certain lifestyle changes , the diagnosis is it’s probably down to my thyroid. I’ve been taking Levothyroxin since I was diagnosed 12 years ago after Bowel Cancer surgery. I’m using eye drops every day

hernia surgery options after Sbrt?
I finished Sbrt last September 2023. I’ve got a minor inguinal hernia that a surgeon just told me didn’t need surgery yet. But he went on to say that laparoscopic/robotic wasn’t an option because of my radiation Tx and the possibility of having to go in if a cancer recurrence. Only option was old school

went off Xgeva for a year, have to go back on it. Ideas or tips helpful
Hi, the short version is I’ve been dealing w stage 4 MBC since 2019/ 2020 with mets to the bones since 2020, including a thoracic spinal fracture which led to a spinal fusion. I was put on Xgeva for a couple of years and later read on Xgeva’s website that being on it long term is likely to increase

D day is here!
after a year of enduring this tumour, D Day is here! Surgery is just hours away. feeling good. After being left quite ill after a failed iron infusion, but made better by one which worked with a blood transfusion, feeling good. Thats not to say that there arent butterflies, of course there are. But

Back in June I went on a work trip to London , which I will state was one of the most stressful time I have experienced. I was staying in a hotel room and I awoke early hours in the morning with V&D , luckily I manage to drive home safely however nausea was terrible. I then had V&D for 10 days. At this

Warfarin to Edoxaban
I have for the last few months been prescribed 60mg Edoxaban after 10 years of taking Warfarin after a DVT and PE. This due to my GP surgery merger with a bigger practice. Warfarin was my only option in 2013 before these new drugs became available. I'm told it's safer and no INR blood tests. I'd like

Now for something completely different
Monday, when you probably will see this post. Crack of dawn. I will be on my way to University Hospital London for a Radical Prostatectomy on Weds. Yes, I've had to learn a new lexicon of terms and medical knowledge. Whilst for the last few months I have been an observer of comments and post rather

Penile Implants
Here in the U.S. there are two penile implants for E. D. They are the Coloplast Titan and the AMS 700. Both are internal with a saline water bulb hidden in the scrotum. When an erection is needed it is pumped up. Afterwards a click and the thing puts the fluid back in the bulb. Surgery looks barbaric
