upping steroids short term to boost recovery?
writing on behalf of my mum who is getting over a respiratory tract infection (or not getting over it to be precise). She has long PMR (getting on 40 yr) and is constantly trying to reduce pred. I recall reading in this forum a recommendation to temporarily increase dose when ill / having surgery etc

For those with kids...
Sorry if this is triggering for anyone ttc. For the ladies with kids how do you manage? I have 3 young kids 5, 7 and 10. I know I'm lucky to have had no fertility issues. Endo/Adeno I believe has been a result of a c section with my third. But how the hell do you manage the pain and worse CONSTANT FATIGUE

Cardiac surgery
Has anyone on long term thyroid meds had open-heart cardiac repair surgery? Any ideas as to whether it affects thyroid and any need to up/ lower T4/T3 meds? Any reflections/suggestions would be most welcome.

Water Weight.
I have been told I have a lot off water weight from 2 photos off me. and showed the doctor he also checked me and said it was water weight. He has given me water tablets. but would surgery be better?

L1/L2 Decompression with Cyst Excision
I’d be very grateful to hear from anyone who has undergone this particular surgery and also from others who decided not to proceed with it. I am 77, live on my own and am managing constant pain (oftentimes severe nerve pain) with gentle exercise, walking little and often, taking a low dose of pregabalin

Just diagnosed, need recommendations
Hi all! I just learned this morning that I have BC. Biopsy diagnosis DCIS in situ. Now I must find a breast oncology surgery practice. I live in Central Florida (Orlando) and am hoping I can get some recommendations of where to consider going for treatment. Thank you!

bisoprolol reduction
Thank you everyone for your replies. After my visit to A and E on Sunday the doctor told me to take an additional 1.25mg of bisoprolol for 3 days so now taking 2.50mg per day. I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my cardioversion he said my heart rate was

If the metastasis is not severe (ie widespread) why not surgery first?
Hi All, I was just wondering why surgery is not more a conventional method in stage 4 metastatic breast cancer? If one has a breast tumor, and only a few areas of metastasis - why isn't surgery to remove the breast tumor, and then radation/targetted treatment on the areas of metastasis? Any insight

Anticipated endo appointment 🤦♀️
Hi everyone ❤️ As some members will know I posted a few days ago that my gp will not do my repeat prescription for my T3 until I see an endocrinologist, for which she is doing the referral. As I told her I've got around 7 possibly 8 days of T3 left. Obviously I'm going to need to contact the surgery

2 weeks after Bypass surgery
Good morning everyone 😊 Sorry for the delayed update. On 15 Jan I underwent CABG x3. I was in ICU on the ventilator for 24 hours after op as there was a bleed on my chest that they needed to correct before waking me up. I was completely unaware of any of this, my first memory was a 3am phone call from

What is normal after surgery and what isn't
My husband had stoma surgery two weeks ago and got home a week later. Since coming home he seems to be deteriorating not improving. On the advice of his stoma nurse, we are going to see the GP to get bloods taken, etc this morning. However, is it normal to go off your food, be scared to eat in case

Mitral Valve repair
Hello, I write to connect to people who have had surgery taken the form of a mitral valve repair. I have been diagnosed with a severe mitral regurgitation with mitral valve prolapse, mild left ventricular systolic dysfunction (I think because the heart is working too hard because of the prolapse) as

Can surgery be refused due to a high BMI?
Hi everyone I’m on the waiting list for a gyno appointment to check for endo. I’ve read on here that sometimes MRI scans don’t show endo and you’ve got to have a larp. Am I right in thinking they won’t do a larp unless you’re in the healthy category for weight on the NHS BMI scale? I eat well but

Looking for advice please!!
Hello, I have finally seen a gynaecologist about years of heavy painful periods who has said there may be a possibility of endometriosis and has listed me for a laparoscopy. I am at the stage in life where I am not quite ready to start the journey of trying to get pregnant but would like to start this

Laparotomy, Radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
I had a major surgery about 8 months ago but the pain around my stomach hasn't gone away. My blood tests and CT scan results are normal.They mentioned that have adhesions which make me in pain all day all night, so I only rely on the pain reliefs.

recovering adrenals.
I’ve recently settled on taking 5mg Pred for over a month, and now feel good. For the last few months I’ve had gradual weight loss, diarrhoea and fatigue. The diarrhoea has stopped so has the weight loss and only feel the need to sleep once for an hour or so during the day. Typical adrenal insufficiency

Going Private
I can't wait any longer so I've decided to go private and I've booked to see a consultant next week. I can't get my head around the fact I can see the same consultant I have to wait a year for on the NHS next week if I pay £200. I'm 50, currently on continuous provera and estrogen and I'm bleeding heavily

Isn’t this so true?
In today’s newspaper…….Not getting better During the pandemic, virtually every GP surgery in the land closed its doors as people were told to stay away from the NHS. The reason was purportedly to stop the hospitals overflowing but it effectively put the entire system out of reach for those who did not
