Ongoing battle to stay on T3
I have been on T3 only for over 15 years. This was prescribed by a GP and Endo in Essex. 12 years ago I moved to Sheffield then Derbyshire.I had been with my new surgery for 2 years when out of the blue they started getting cagey about giving me T3, At first it was lots of questions and scaremongering

ongoing health issues
As many of you know, I had foot surgery 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately, the wound isn’t healing well, so I’m now 6 weeks off my MTX and benepali. On Sunday at 1am I went to the loo before settling for the night. I had a large rectal bleed, with maroon stools and a gush of blood. Hubby was asleep, so I checked

Advice request - going in circles with doctors
Hi all, I've been suffering with endometriosis for years but I'm really struggling to get proper help with it, and the doctors seem to be thinking now it might be something else.

Finally got my Neurosurgeon appointment!
Hi all, Well after waiting almost a year, I saw the neurosurgeons at Sheffield Royal Hallamshire. The consultant offered me some bleak options, have cervical spine surgery or my symptoms will get worse and I won’t be able to get back to how I am now! I have cervical myelopathy and spinal stenosis,

Recent diagnosis - What was your radiation experience?
Hello, I was just diagnosed with stage 1, non-small cell. I'm debating between the open surgery (the nodule is not in an easy location) or targeting radiation. I'm scared of recovery from the surgery, but I'm also scared of potential long-term side effects from radiation. I'd appreciate hearing your

tricuspid and mitral
I had my TOE yesterday and it was painless although a little uncomfortable but I did have sedation and was pleased that I had. The nurses and doctors were very sweet and informative without being alarmist. It turns out that I have two moderately severe leaky valves, mitral and tricuspid, both parachute

Just had a message from my GP surgery and as my TSH is 0.13 they want to lower my dose from 75 to 50. What do I do?

Worsening Stress Incontinence 20 Months After Surgery?
I had my Robotic Prostatectomy 20 months ago at age 54 and everything went really well. Good post surgery pathology (no positive margins or extracapular extension). I didn't need pads about 5 months after surgery. I of course experienced stress incontinence after but at 1 year it was virtually non-existent

Had appt with urologist, although already stated no surgery
Had appt and the urologist seemed to he trying to persuade me to have prostatectomy although I was clear at diagnosis no surgery primarily due to incontinence issues.He said permanent incontinence occurred in less than 5% of cases, I disagreed and said 10/15% is nearer the mark am I correct?

painful cramping when urinating
Hey guys! I had a diagnostic laparoscopy a week ago and I keep experiencing pain in my bladder and sharp cramping when trying to wee. Is this a normal thing for after surgery? This is my op so I’m just unsure.

Surgery for fallopian tubes removal
Hi Has anyone had fallopian tubes removed but ovaries and uterus left intact? I've been advised to have this surgery through keyhole , ct scan shows abscesses in tubes. Although six months ago another scN showed abscess near uterus and one doctor mentioned hysterectomy. The doctor I saw this morning

Endo in Csection scar
Hi all, I've finally been put onto the waiting list for surgery!! I could not be happier, it's been a long fight to finally get this cut out of me..
