DBS. Did it improve your life as much as you hoped?
Well I feel the DBS conveyor belt moving again, bringing me closer to the surgery date. I have an appointment with Professor Silverdale in a couple of weeks and I have questions to ask. Can anyone reading this who has had the surgery give me their honest thoughts as to whether the DBS surgery has improved

Methotrexate
Hi, I have been on Prednisolone for the past two years for PMR and after various flares, ups and downs, am currently tapering and am at 9.5 mg daily, decreasing 0.5 mg every two weeks. At a routine drug review at the surgery this week the pharmacist said she was surprised I had not been put on Methotrexate

Varicocele surgery or continue with IVF?
My partner (32M) and I (32F) are supposed to be starting IVF in 4 weeks. We're in the UK and this will be our only NHS funded round, after this we'd have to self-fund. However, this morning he was told he has a grade 2 bilateral varicocele. This is really frustrating because this is the second test

Getting my life back
I wrote awhile ago that I was scheduled for a Wolf Mini-maze procedure at the DeBakey Houston Heart Center. I suffered through a year of blood thinners first. I am now 3 weeks out since my surgery. Dr Wolf did his magic on my heart and put in an LAA Atriclip so I am now free from blood thinners and

3 weeks post CABG surgery
Looking for a bit of reassurance… My dad had a triple heart bypass 3 weeks ago, all went well apart from starting with a chest infection whilst in ICU. He was given IV antibiotics then oral antibiotics and was discharged after 5 days. He’s been home just over 2 weeks now and has been to the GP and his

First time posting here with questions
Hello, I was wondering how to tell if you need b12 injections when you take oral b12 and your serum b12 always comes out looking great? I haven't had it tested recently but past tests always come out way over the range. Anyway, I saw a post by @Marz in which she said that she takes b12 due to having

Coming off Prostap & Tibolone?
Hello all. Wondering if anyone could tell me their experience of coming off a course of Prostap (with or without Tibolone/HRT) please? If you’ve been through this, can I ask whether you just stop cold turkey? Or is it done gradually? Do you need to let your gynae know? Or was it just done on your

I have visited and enjoyed all that this forum has offered during my main cardio based issues. Those who know my story know that whilst undergoing extensive OHS, or more to the point - after surgery, I was to suffer a variety of complications from which anyone should have prevented my survival. Sadly

First period on progesterone only pill
Hey everyone💗 I was put on Desogestrel (the progesterone only pill) around 2.5 weeks ago to help 'manage' my endo while I wait for surgery and I would normally be due on my period in a few days time but I'm not really sure what to expect now I'm on the POP. My consultant said that I won't bleed and

Feeling hopeful.
Brook to Freshwater coastal path. Sunday was a perfect day for walking this route. Wild, windy, bracing, exhilarating. This footpath is rapidly disappearing into the sea so I was keen to do it again before it is gone. [i]This [/i]is what makes me happy. I’ve had a good few days feeling energetic

6 weeks after surgery - am I doing ok?
Hi all, Had a pretty tricky last few months, was diagnosed with endocarditis at the start of November (had been feeling ill for a few weeks before), the infection responded well to IV antibiotics over a 6 week period so that was a positive. However due to several other developments I also needed

Blood tests
Hello, I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis over 20 years ago. I therefore have regular blood tests to check that the medications I take are not negatively impacting me. In November last year I had an abnormal blood test result at hospital (ALT was 88, other liver tests were in range). I was told

I just had to tell this story, I’m sure plenty of us have experienced being fobbed off with different diagnoses before being diagnosed with endo, however I’ve just experienced the opposite way around. I was diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis in November of last year, this weekend I fell really ill

Having a hard time getting my usual brands
I order my meds online via my doc who promptly sends the script over to my pharmacy and I have home delivery due to my agoraphobia.

This one's about some actual, real-life running. And not being normal.
Day 10 post-headbump came and went, then day 11 and day 12, and I was staring wistfully at the ceiling with a constant message circling around my head like a hunting falcon: [i]“Wait until you feel normal”[/i]. I jolted up so quickly that the tin of peas taped to my head went flying off and smashed
