Nerve block for wrist surgery
Just wondering if anyone has had experience of an operation under Nerve Block as opposed to General Anaesthetic. I have just had a plate put in my wrist due to a fall and besides it being the worst experience of my life, my Fibromyalgia has drastically worsened. Wondering if I should have opted for General

IBS and possible prolapse in bowel
Hi all, I have been diagnosed with IBS and Diverticulitis. Pregablin medication seems to be helping. When I recently explained to the GP that every day I am in discomfort from my bowel and despite me having bowel movements on a daily basis that within 30-45 mins after I feel I need to have another bowel

eye problem
Hi all, any advice as it being Saturday. Yesterday, right eye got a swelling at the side of eyebrow, not painful just hurt to touch. By last night small lump which then became very itchy developed. Thought it may be a bite. Woke up this am. Small lump or spot still there, still itchy but eyelid all puffy

Acoustic neuroma
I developed acoustic aroma about a year and a half ago. All of a sudden, my right ear felt clogged and I started to develop tinnitus. I am really upset because I don’t know what I’m in for. The worst part of this is the tinnitus. I wish that it would just go away and it would be cure for it. It’s loud

blood platelets low again
hi Hope you are all staying strong. I was on azaphoprine for Ulterative colitis for 8 years but this medication caused liver cirrhosis!! After several months of trying different steroids I am now on Adalimumab injections which seem to be working but I’ve only been on them for a month. Anyway, I

Confusion Regarding B1 "Sublingual" Tablets (for Constantini Protocol)
I initially started taking B1 HCL orally, on the magical quest to find my optimal level, which I failed to do over a year and a half. I came to the conclusion that since I was often more or less constipated, as many Parkinsonians are, I would never be able to find that level, as it varied based

Finishing with Actemra
Hi everybody, once again I'm asking a question of you all before I see my Rheumo. In a few weeks I will have been on Actemra injections for 18 months. I managed to finish taking Pred 7 months ago after a 12 month stint with no relapses. I consider myself to be very lucky so far. I would like to

I am not sure if I have IBS?
There are some symptoms that completely matches with IBS, like- abdominal pain, extreme flatulence, constipation, stomach noises, always having the urge to move bowels. But doctors never could diagnose anything, told me that the body would cure itself since I'm young. I have done ultrasonography, endoscopy

Microscopic colitis associated with RA
Well the colonoscopy didn't happen two weeks ago due to having to give up a non RA medication I was too ill to go. Update it's next week and I can stay on the medication until the day of the colonoscopy. A biopsy is needed to confirm MC and then the treatment of steroids. You may wonder why I'm telling

Help please is it possible in a month for the angle to change from narrow to wide open angles? This just doesn’t make sense to me.
Hello again, Well I am still in the system waiting for my next appointment on July 4th. My new consultant says I now have treated primary narrow angles, does that mean the laser has worked is this what opens the angles? My letter on 17th April stated the following: This was 6 Weeks after 2nd

Diarrhea every day
hello! My name is Renee and I - as my user name suggests- am a huge hypochondriac. I am concerned because my stools every morning have been diarrhea. Also I will get random stomach pain at time and have diarrhea and after using the bathroom I will feel better. My grandfather passed of colon cancer and

1 colonoscopy + 1 sigmoidoscopy in 3 years; symptoms persist
In the past three years I’ve had a colonoscopy (July 2020) that was clear and a sigmoidoscopy a year later in May 2021 that found small internal hemorrhoids and a hypertrophic anal papillae (benign). However, my symptoms of rectal bleeding, some rectal pain, and intermittent constipation have persisted

Help! Stomach Bug & Holiday!
For over a week I have had some sort of stomach bug with awful pains in the lower stomach, causing loose stools, feeling chilled then hot, with a recurring headache. I contacted my doctor asking for urgent stool tests, as I am due to go on holiday to Spain next Monday, just in case it is a stomach bug

Cerelle desogestrel
I've been taking 2x desogestrl tablets daily since January and have noticed the past few months cramping but no period, I've had to go to hospital for morphine to calm this, could this mean my endo has grown back even thought i only had a lap in March 22?

colon cancer
I have had irregular bowel movements for as long as I can remember. Recently I noticed blood streaks in my stool. I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy this week but my anxiety is through the roof. My sibling was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and now I’m scared that I may have it as well. Any advice
