28 year old male with congenital AVS with recent mechanical aortic valve replacement with ascending aortic graft
Hi all, I have lived with my congenital AVS fairly well up to the age of 22 when I needed the intervention, which was to replace my leaky valve with a mechanical valve, along with this unfortunately I also needed an ascending aortic graft put in too due to the damage caused over the years. Ever since

Worsening bowel symptoms 😢…any advice welcome x
Hi everyone, haven’t posted for a while. Still waiting on surgery to look at my bowels. Recently my symptoms have gotten worse, prior to moving my bowels the pain starts, excruciating is the only word I can use to describe it. I currently take fibrogel twice daily and have cream for an anal fissure.

urethral constriction
Had chemo and then cystectomy 10 years ago. Last few years, kidney stones then UTIs, until lithotripsy for the stones. But have urethral constriction, so every 4 month I have stents put through my stoma. Has anyone heard of, or had the procedure done for the constriction using Optilume? Supposedly

fibroelastoma near aortic valve discovered on checkup when symptomless
Hi everyone, I had an echocardiogram to assess damage to heart for other drugs for a blood condition. It showed a fibroelastoma 7mm x7mm next to the aortic valve, and I have been told I need open heart surgery to remove it and likely replacement of the valve. I have numerous complicating issues related

A Happy Anniversary
Dear AFA forum family. Isn't life wonderful? I joined the AFA forum some four years ago and had it not been for chance encounters, who knows where I would be today. It started with an AFA post titled "Tim' Story". At the time of his post (several years ago) Tim was 55 and his story mirrored my own

Good morning everyone, I am new here and would like to introduce myself. I am sure that I can learn a lot from all of you! I have been diagnosed during my laparoscopy at the end of October 2023. I was dealing with pain for years now which included finding out many drugs that I am allergic to... I haven't

Bristol Endo Clinics?
Hey! Maybe a long shot, but I’m wondering if anyone is Bristol based here, and has had any recent experience with the endo clinic in Southmead? Does anyone know what surgery wait lists are like? Thanks in advance 😊

Hashis and Graves? Watch and Wait has now caught up.
About 15 months or so, I had an appointment for a thyroid specialist as my thyroid tests pointed towards Graves. I had been hypothyroid for about 17years when my different results meant my gp prescribing less and less levo. When the amount became 12.5mcg, (after an original 150 mcg) I asked to be

I was visiting my family early in December (2023) After a few days I had a tightness/pain in my chest which went away after sitting down. All was well for the next few days and the same thing happened again. The third time it happened, my wife suggested we visit A&E. A number of tests were done and

post surgery bleeding. Does it ever stop?!?
I had my surgery on 6th October to remove endo and I haven’t stopped bleeding since. It’s really getting me down. It slows but it never goes. It’s really starting to impact on my mental health and I’m still experiencing pain. Nowhere near as bad as it was but still not ideal but I’m putting it down to

No surgery quite yet
So, I met with the surgeon this morning. When did they start graduating from medical school in infancy? My doctor should not be younger than my children! Anyway, he said that yes, I need gallbladder surgery, but the situation is not as urgent or dire as my GP's receptionist made it out to be. He

Dosage Gabapentin
I am concerned about the dosage of Gabapentin. I am a petite female, 75 years old and slight in build. Is this drug safe to take at maximum dosage for all adults regardless of age, weight and size? Am currently building up the nightly dose and have also been prescribed Trazodol to also take at night

Hello I am from Vancouver Island and had Open Heart Surgery in 2022. After my surgery they put you into this room to watch a video on Warfrin and then that's it home you go. Needless to say when I started taking Warfrin my INR was all over the map and still is but getting a bit better. The thing
