Experiences with

Red clover

I much prefer natural ways to manage my health wherever possible, and I've found various herbal supplements which claim to be a natural alternative to HRT: Red Clover, Ashwagandha and Sage.

Hi, new member here, 60yo. Cholesterol 5.1 overall, CT scan showed potential CAD - echo and possible angioplast to be done in due course. I've been told in no uncertain terms I have to take statins. I'm not overly enamoured about that as there seems to be so many varying studies; some say they'll give

hey, it was just a little message to say I have been diagnosed with both myocarditis and pericarditis. I am a single mum of a 3 year old. I do have support but it’s difficult to give up that independence. Anyway it was just to see if anyone experienced it and when they recovered and was able to return

Hi folks? I'm a 57 year old male originally diagnosed with Parkinsons in 2020 and rediagnosed with MSA-P in 2022.I wondered if severe neck pain was a common symptom with MSA? I find I'm at my best in the morning after bed rest but as the morning goes on the head drops down with my chin anchored to my

In May 2024, I suffered from a viral fever that left me bedridden for a week. The following month, I had an exam for which I had been preparing for the previous six months. However, that one week of bed rest stressed me out about the exam's outcome since I couldn't follow my planned routine. After that

I have just spent another 10 days in hospital whilst they have been trying to get my HR under 100 - nothing working so far - they have let me out with many drugs in the hope that bed rest and the drugswill bring it down. Unfortunately I have also been diagnosed with Stage 3 heart failure. I am hugely

Hi all I hope someone can maybe enlighten me, as I feel left all by myself. I had a heart Attack 25th June this year. I had to have a long stent inserted and I feel fine now. The whole thing was a blur, chest pains, hospital, procedure, bed rest for 2 days then home. So HA Tuesday home Thursday. I

hi guys I am writing this with a heavy heart. I started bleeding at 16wks which lasted for only a few hours and I was rushed to the hospital and kept on bed rest. I had no pain or cramps whatsoever. They did scans and said everything was alright but didn’t know where the bleeding came from but said

I’m 73 and I recently had this procedure done and it seems to be working well. But a word of caution. I’ve had some severe back problems where 3 vertebra are pinching nerves for several years. Typically the pain is sporadic and only a 3-4 out of 10. I have in the past had a couple very painful bouts

Oh my, juat need to vent a little. Im in the uk wales. Last night I had a really big bleed, for context I'm pregnant via IVF 6w6d and I'm on clexane (warfarin) due to a problem with clotting.
