Prednisolone without food
Have always taken my Prednisolone at breakfast with porridge or Greek yoghurt . Refuse to take a PPI. Am due for surgery in a few weeks time and not to eat after midnight. Am only on 4.5 mg Pred at present. Will it hurt this once to take it with no food? I cant see a way around it.

Removal of contralateral testicle
To further reduce risk of recurrence of NHL DLBCL the contralateral testicle was removed as well. Surgery was successful. Now waiting two months and then check PSA and Testosterone. Still hormone sensitive, but no further Lupron required. Looking forward.

Carboplatin alternatives

So the patient transport arrived early I got hear at 6;20 😱I was first on the list... The afternoon list 😁 My surgery was put in jeopardy as my sugar levels were too high, thankfully the team came up with a solution an insulin drip before, during and after surgery. The lump and margin was wider and

Ceasing Apixaban
I am due for knee joint replacement surgery. Can anyone relate their experience with stopping and starting Apixaban before and after the operation. I also take Ramipril, will I need to stop this for a while?. Thanks

Circumcision in 2 days
Hey, I’m having the cut done in 2 days and am terrified to say the least but I’ve made the decision and I’m doing it. So… can anyone help with ways to reduce sensitivity in the first few days? I was due to have this done about a year ago but the anesthetist decided to postpone because of a fear

Help and advice
Hi everyone, need some advice and reassurance if possible after being told I have CKD. A new GP took over at my surgery and as he was about to prescribe me some tablets he happened to say “Oh you can’t have them because of your CKD”. ????? First I had heard of it. Anyway I met with him last week and

EOD on the NHS?
I went for my first 4 weekly B12 injection at my GP surgery today. I was expecting some push back from the nurse but she gave the jab willingly. I asked if many people are getting 4 weekly or more frequent injections. Just 1. Me! I’m a bit of a novelty as everyone else is on 8 or 12 weeks. This

update on SIBO and antibiotics
firstly thank you so much for all your comments because you gave me the confidence to start the rifamixin course. I am now on day 5 of 3 x 550gm tabs daily for 10 days. Yesterday was my first fairly ok day in ages so I’m beginning to hope I may get some relief, which will be wonderful. My gastro report

Compressions
HelloI am 9 weeks post TKR in right knee and I think I might have a problem with my Compressions. I have lower leg Lymphoedema and my left leg was always worst for swelling. Since my knee surgery, my right leg is swelling more. Obviously, this would be partly due to the surgery but when I wear my compression

Cognitive skills
I had open heart surgery over four months ago. Straight after the surgery I felt fine and could hold a conversation with people. The week after (once home) I felt I was present in the room but struggled to communicate. I would have the conversation mapped out in my head along with what I wanted to

Misdiagnosis
I am reasonably new to this site and have found it incredibly useful and informative. However, I recently received a bombshell, in that I have possibly been misdiagnosed with AF. I visited my GP at the end of September in 2023 with severe palpitations and given three ECGs. Two of these were viewed by

In response to this, he received a standard letter from the practice with the website of diabetes UK to consult for info. He can't use the internet and I was concerned
