Worrying about symptoms
Diagnosed with Endo on pelvic wall nearly 3 years ago now. In the past year my symptoms have increased drastically. Heavy, painful periods and spotting randomly (on the combined pill). Lower back pain is excruciating it swells physically. Been to physio and pain management for this, they just say MRI

RLS - Q&A
Hi RLS survivors I am continuing my Pregabalin journey and wanted to check in with this community to ask out loud various questions circling around my head. The good news is that Pregabalin is making a difference. I get some relief from jumpy legs at night even on a low dose (75mg) What I am experiencing

AF and Arthritis
Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

CT Thorax scan with iodine contrast
Hi does anyone know if it’s safe to have an iodine contrast for a CT thorax scan with Hashimotos, I’m confused if it’s good or bad with Hashimotos as I’m worried it might make my heart race. My lastest blood test results from the NHS are TSH - 0.07 (0.30 - 5.00) and T4 - 11.1 (11.5 - 22.70) and cortisol

Help please
I had cellulitis in both legs about 2 months ago. This has left me with open wounds and fluid running down my legs. I have other health issues and I can only have cotton against my skin. I literally can't eat, sleep or drink anything but water because of the pain and I can't deal with the wound care

Blood Test results, advice please. Hyperthyroid, Graves.
Details of blood tests since August 2021 shown. I was diagnosed as Hyperthyroid at that time with Graves confirmed by TSH ral, not tested since. Testing for vitamin levels at that time were all normal. My GP requested I have a blood test done earlier this month following a request for a repeat prescription

Pregabalin concerns
Hi RLS survivors Update to previous posts: GP has prescribed Pregabalin for RLS. Currently been advised to take two 25mg tablets before bedtime. First night was great. No symptoms but still some fractured sleep. Since then, my legs have been truly awful. Jerking, moving from 2am/3am until morning

Doctor has given me 30mg of Codeine Phosphate to take but it isn’t helping the pain. Anyone recommend stringer

In the last few days I had erythromycin for 3 days which severely upset my stomach followed by 6 days of clarithromycin...neither helped. Now I'm on
