Been put on trimbow
Following up to my previous post about well-controlled (or not) asthma, I filled in an online consultation form. Had a phone call from the surgery pharmacy team who suggested I try trimbow. I did explain my concerns about the anticholinergic bit as I had a rough time trying Spiriva in November and

Remission
Back in November I noticed a swelling under my arm. My doctor set me up with ultrasounds and found it was swollen lymph nodes. After the surgery in December to remove the largest one, I was told I had SLL. My world turned upside down. I had a PET scan in January and I lit up like a Christmas tree. The

Hi everyone. I am seeking your helpful advice once again. My daughter was diagnosed with High Serous Grade 3 Ovarian Cancer in June 2023 with full debaulking surgery in July 2023. She is currently on 100mg Paraparib which has had an effect on her haemoglobin levels but appear to have now settled.

Does anyone know if there is a manufacturing problem with Armour Thyroid?
Hi, been on Armour for 12 years. Fortunate to have it prescribed by my GP & there has never been a problem but the pharmacy at the surgery say there is a problem & they can't get it. They have recently changed hands & it has been a problem to get the particular brand of another medicine I need to not

had my initial consultation
I went and saw the endometriosis specialist for my initial consultation. He said he’d already read the symptoms (that I’d had to send in to be offered an appointment.) I gave him a new list cause it included symptoms I hadn’t previously mentioned, he read it and scanned it on his phone. He said normally

Post surgery pain
I previously posted a question about post surgical pain and Belbuca (buccal Buprenorphine,). I had hip replacement one week ago. The pain is excruciating. I conferred with my surgeon prior to the surgery because I was afraid of this. He told me not to worry. Ha! I am taking Oxycodone every 6 hours

Hip surgery
I'm due to have a hip replacement but nervous because I have paroxysmal A Fib. I' m on Edoxaban and have bisoprolol as a P I P, told to take after a few hours if it didn't resolve, but haven't had to take it . Would welcome some reassurance 😊

Driving with RA
I was diagnosed with RA many years ago. I have seen a consultant once or twice a year until covid. No-one has ever told me that I should not drive. I don'y feel unsafe but I only take short tips now. I have never felt that my hands are making my driving difficult. I can hold the steering wheel comfortably
