Am I right to suspect endometriosis and ask to see a private specialist?
Mefenamic
acid
didn’t really do anything, neither did ibuprofen or paracetamol. I get period pain also that starts in my tummy and then goes all down both legs though sometimes does it more in my left leg and mum said that’s normal for periods pain.

is everyone else not getting diagnosed or much treatment?
More recently I’ve been given co codamol (the lowest dose) and
mefenamic
acid
500mg but both didn’t do anything. My gp wouldn’t prescribe anything else and said I can’t have more naproxen cause I’m on the highest dose. I’m going to try the patch soon but I have to have the week break.

Severe bleeding and high blood pressure on Tibolone
I spoke to the nurse who said she couldn’t do anything but advised me to take Tranexamic and
Mefenamic
Acid
until the consultant comes back. I went to the GP on Tuesday because I’m also anaemic so the bleeding doesn’t help.

Severe Period Pains
She's been prescribed
Mefenamic
Acid
to take when pre- menstral but this relies on her having some warning symptoms first. Which has worked when she gets warning. However, Today, her period came suddenly & has severe pain from cramps, vomiting, loss of colour & shivering.

Pain Medication after Laparoscopy
Due to my other medical issues I can’t take any NSIADS including: ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, celecoxib,
mefenamic
acid
, etoricoxib & indomethacin. I normally take just cocodamol and rest when having bad flare ups. Along with expensive medical patches to sooth the areas.

I’m currently having investigations into Endo-sorry long post but need some advice or any reassurance:)
Then had to go again because not even a bit of improvement from that 3 day course, then another doctor gave me naproxen and dihydrocodeinone and after another appointment, changed the naproxen to
Mefenamic
acid
.

Laparoscopy made everything 1000x times worse, anyone else?
I take a combination of: (depending on what's pains/issues are going on) tranexamic
acid
,
mefenamic
acid
, ibuprofen, codine/ tramadol paracetamol, naproxen, Diclofenac sodium, Propranolol (for the anxiety) Omeprazole. Personally I find the naproxen and codine are usually best, for me.

Endo Diagnosis
I'm unsure of what to do because no normal painkillers word and neither did the
mefenamic
acid
or contraception.

first lap - nothing found. Please help.
Hi, I’m new here (or I’ve been acting like a shadow for months, reading your stories & experiences and feeling a sense of support from you all without reaching out, so firstly thank you) I have had ongoing pelvic pain since 2021. Continuously. It started as a niggle in my right ovary. I noticed it

What do I do?
I’m currently prescribed diclofenic, codeine,
mefenamic
acid
and tranexamic acid to help with the pain. The last time I went to the gynaecology emergency room they had to give me morphine as nothing else helped. Last week I was admitted to hospital due to severe pain on my period.

What pain relief do you use?
Naproxen, paracetamol,
Mefenamic
acid
have done nothing for me. I'm currently on co-codamol 30/500 which is working but is saying my constipation to be worse than it is already. Does anyone use Amitriptyline? Thinking it might help with the nerve pain up and down my legs?

Exhausted.
They had tried me on multiple different contraceptive pills, tranexamic
acid
and
mefenamic
acid
. Nothing helped the period pains. I had an ultrasound which revealed some growths on my ovaries, and that my bladder did not empty itself fully.

Haz58
Hello Haz58, I’m sorry you are having such a rotten time in sorting out the medications which you can tolerate. I could not take Azapriothine or Methotrexate but have settled reasonably happily with a daily routine of Bisoprolol, Levothyroxine, Amlodipine, Prednisolone, Ursodeoxycholic Acid, Losartan

Alendronic acid and raised Potassium levels
Hi I have been on Alendronic acid for 4 mths now. I have - 3 lumbar spinal osteoporosis but also have chronic kidney deficiency. My past two blood tests are showing raised 5.7 mmols/l and I’m wondering if it’s linked to my Alendronic acid?

Stopping Alendronic Acid
I've been taking Alendronic Acid along with pred (on the insistence of GPs and rheumy) for 2 years. At last I've managed to get a Dexa scan and they told me that my bones are good/normal and that there is no need to take the AA. Do I need to taper or can I just stop?Also wouldn't it make sense to do

How To Make Melatonin Lotion : A More Efficient Way Of Getting Melatonin Compared To Oral Melatonin And A Surprise Finding
A major problem I see with oral melatonin is the very poor bioavailability of oral melatonin, thought to be around 3% in humans as discussed here : https://bmcpharmacoltoxicol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40360-016-0052-2#:~:text=Elimination%20half%2Dlives%20following%20oral,between%20the%20volunteers
