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

Info onActemra
Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with GCA Dec 21 and put on 65mg Pred. Then March 22 I started Actemra weekly injections. I have been very fortunate so far as I tapered and stopped Pred in Dec 22 but still taking Actemra shots - fortnightly now. My question is how long have others had to take Actemra

Coagulation markers as independent predictors of prostate cancer aggressiveness.
New study below [1]. Altered coagulation factors are an early event in PCa. Indeed, the first sign of PCa in some men may be a deep vein thrombosis [DVT. The study authors wondered if there were coagulation factors associated with aggressive disease. Only fibrinogen & D-dimer were determined

Oh what a fun week I have had. Those of you that followed the tooth saga will be pleased to hear I am nearly at the finishing line and had the fitting for the implant, another 2 weeks and I will have the new tooth. It wasn’t particularly pleasant but it’s done. My next exiting trip was to have a scan

Typewriter tinnitus or Middle Ear Myoclonus?
Hi all, I had a clicking start in my left ear 5 months ago. At first it was just a click, and there was a feeling to it too. At times it could sting my ear. Then one night, I got a bombardment of lighter clicks in the ear, that went on for a near minute. Over time the these clicks have become more frequent

Avastin following taxol/carbo
Hi , I have 1 more session of taxol/carbo left and my oncologist wants to discuss going onto avastin however, I'm not sure whether that is needed at this stage. I have ovarian 4b and have been debunked. My ca125 levels were 7 before the last chemo 3 weeks ago. I feel very fit and healthy.I've not had

constipation anyone ? Here’s a good solution
hi everyone I ve read here and there posts regarding constipation. If you’re affected you might like to try my homemade rocket muesli! I prefer to make my own because I like organic stuff and knowing what’s gone into my food. you could of course simply buy no sugar muesli and add 2 tablespoons ground

Hereditary spastic paraparesis (HSP) and Ataxia how do you get diagnosed with HSP?
I wondered if you could point me in the direction of how to get a diagnosis of HSP? If anyone has one and or are in the same position as me. I am seeking answers. I have an extremely rare chromosome duplication with very little known about it. I have had a look at some research papers and there was

Dave Barry: A journey into my colon - and yours
A plagiarised version of an article by Dave Barry, published in the Miami Herald in 2008, appeared in one of my newsfeeds recently. I thought I'd share it here, as the message for 50-74 year-olds: [i]
screen yourself for colorectal cancer
[/i], is as relevant today as it was fifteen years ago.

DVLA licence renewal
Two years ago I had to inform the DVLA that I had developed glaucoma in both eyes. It was a very stressful time as I had a trabeculectomy, corrective surgery and cataract removal before embarking on the vision test. The Specsavers team was very helpful in deferring my test until I felt ready to take

Further info on blood panel
Hello! I posted a couple of weeks back with some questions about low B12 investigations and was about to have a very full and detailed blood panel. I've got some further info from my blood tests. I don't have a copy yet, they're on the way, so I'll have to be vague about actual numbers for some of them

Fibre in the diet
I have probably written about this before, but I am really unsure where to go. So it appears that lots of things play up with my stomach particularly fibre. I tried porridge (smooth quick cook) this within half an hour will give me stomach ache and many trips to the toilet tmi. I then tried peanut

soft, sticky stool which is hard to pass - any advice?
I feel embarrassed describing my poop but am at the end of my rope with my gut issues. I’ve had IBS for 25 years but the last 5 years have been non-stop, daily issues. Over the last 4 years I have had endless tests. A colonoscopy and gastroscope in 2019 which was clear, a clear ct scan later that year

stomach upset
my husband is 3 and 1/2 years post op. Esophagus and over half of his stomach has been removed. It is helpful reading your experiences. He gets a stomach ache every time he eats. Just recently he has found that he’s not cleaning out enough. He started taking miralax at night to clean out his system and

Stopped taking Linaclotide (Constella/Linzess) for chronic (idiopathic) constipation, a new medicine for me to try.
So I finally had my consult ('second opinion') in Leuven (Belgium) at the gastroenterology unit of the university hospital, after I did see a specialist at the gastroenterology unit of the university hospital in Groningen (The Netherlands) beginning this year. The specialist I spoke with also doesn't

Lactose Free Levothyroxine
Have been taking Levothyroxine since 2017 for underactive thyroid. Recently, have had problems with Lactose intolerance so totally cut Lactose from my diet. Since then I've not had acid indigestion or reflux and feel better for it. I requested a lactose free levo from my GP and they advised me to speak
