Dealing with diagnosis and going forward
Hi all, I was diagnosed end of February via laparoscopy. At first I was relieved to know that it wasn't all in my end but the past few months I've struggled now knowing that this is my life. They removed endo at the time of surgery from my bladder, recto-vaginal area and uterosacral ligaments left and

Low TSH
Background I have a lifelong hereditary condition known as FAP. Because of this I have had several surgeries to remove my whole colon and rectum. In 2009 I had surgery to create what is called a J pouch, which is made from approximately the last 40cm of terminal ileum. Current issues. Recent blood

Carbimazole
Hi my daughter was diagnosed with graves, doctor put her on carbimazole. She started taking carbimazole and after a few months I can hardly recognise her Her eyes look unfocused and dull and her entire face seems to have sagged drastically. She never longer resembles the happy girl with bright shining

ZSR staples still intact after 9 days of circumcision
Hi, had my ZSR circumcision around 9 days back. The surgery went well with very less bleeding and discomfort. Glans sensitivity though still there has reduced a bit and is bearable. Have a little donut swelling just behind the glans but that is expected I guess. The worry is, it has been 9 days now

getting reading for HIP replacement #2
After the right in 2022, now it's time for the left. I'm not in horrible pain but I want to get it done so that I regain more ability to be active and workout, keep muscle mass (I'm 58), and continue to keep MS at bay. Just got the green light from the neuro. Ocrevus is delayed for 2 months to avoid

I am not sure if my fatigue on effort is normal after the joint

Can diet cause SIBO?
Hello everyone, was diagnosed with SIBO last year after a positive breath test. Took an 8 week course of rifaximin (550 mg, twice a day) and assumed all was well. SIBO seems to have come back this year (positive breath test), and I am repeating the course of antibiotics. This time I've been told to

Is It worth choosing a Doctor?
My neighbour has given me the name and contact information for a doctor he said is the best in my area for knee replacement surgery and said once I get a date for my surgery I can request that it is done by this doctor. I have looked at reviews and references online and they are indeed glowing, however

Flu A/scarred lungs/coughing
I was taken in an ambulance to hospital from the GP surgery on 14th February as my oxygen was so low. By 15th February at 2am I was put to sleep. I had flu A, a chest infection, sepsis and pneumonia. I had to have 3 blood transfusions and dialysis while I was asleep for 3 weeks. I was given

Benefit of private consultation, Adeno & Fybroids
Hi this is the first time I have posted here, but have been following messages for a while and just wanted to share the positive experience I’ve had with a private consultation. I started in November last year with what I would describe as hemorrhaging. I’ve always had heavy periods but this was uncontrolled

Varicose veins and returning to running after time off
Hi, first post here. I have varicose veins and am an endurance runner. I have not run since January 2024. Since injury and to keep cardio up, I ride 120 KMs a week. I am ready to return to running and was wondering how long will it take me to return to previous level of fitness after having time off

Varicose veins and returning to running after injury
I have varicose veins and have not done long distance running since January this year. I have been riding my bike 120 km per week to keep cardio fitness up. Just wondering would it be ok to come back to running yet? I have not had surgery and don't intend to get surgery. Would it be ok to get back to

Depressing facial rashes/What do you do?
Today I feel very overwhelmed with the uglies of lupus on my face. I’ve begun a flare of my own fault getting maybe 5 minutes of sun. My face is attacked with red raised bumps and my fingers and legs as well. I’ve had this before but never so acute. I take hydroxy and can’t change to another medication

Followed advice here, now need help with understanding results
Hi, I’ve learned more here in the last year or so than I’ve ever learned from doctors. I’ve also come to know that I’ve probably been on too low of a Synthroid dosage for far too long. I am hypothyroid with Hashimoto’s since 2005 or 2006. I had a goiter on my parathyroid and had surgery to remove

hyperthyroidism
Hi I had blood tests 3 weeks ago which show an overactive thyroid. I started carbimazole 30mg daily and propranolol 20mg daily. I am due to be having surgery in 2 weeks to remove the right side of my thyroid. However, today I have been informed my FT4 has jumped to 28.2 and TSH is undetectable. Carbimazole

hi thanks for your kind replies RE enlarged aorta 4.4 cm
I’m terrified of the impact on my family if I suffer a dissected or ripped aorta which can apparently happen anytime. Does the risk decrease after elective surgery. Thankyou in advance for your kind replies/advice - I’d really like to hear your experiences as this is all new to me (3weeks) what a situation

Post following my first consultation
Hi everyone, I posted recently to ask for some advice with regards to my first private consultation. I had this yesterday and based off my symptoms he said endometriosis is likely and would like to do a laporoscopy. I've never had surgery or been to hospital myself before so it's all a bit daunting!
