Steve 6 and a half years since heart failure.
My heart problems materialised when my customer said to me you look terrible as I wheeled a barrow up a ramp with heavy concrete blocks. Next morning I was in a ward being told I had heart failure. Was a shock and after 2 years on meds was finally sent in for a aortic root and valve replacement. So

POST TKN
Hi all.I've had my TKR - 7 weeks ago now. I know it's possibly an individual thing but has anybody any idea as to how long before the affected leg is straight. The bend in my new knee is now at110 degrees and my Consultant is happy with the progress but I forgot to ask about the leg straightening fully

Change in inhalers
I'm currently on sertide and being switched over to symbicort. I'm not sure of the dosage etc as need to discuss further with gp. I'm a little concerned as been on seretide for years. When I get switched it triggers flares and I've already had loads of time of work. I work part time. I also think I'm

combination therapy for ADHD
Does anyone have experience using combination therapy of a stimulant plus a non-stimulant? From what I understand, you take the stimulant in the morning and the non-stimulant in the late afternoon or evening. I recently started using Adderall ir. Having a lot of trouble in the evening and at night

HRT and waiting for scans
Earlier this year in March, I saw my GP to ask about HRT, so blood works were done and anomalies found so went for an ultrasound and found to have Fatty liver and hepatic hemangioma. I'm now waiting for a fibroscsn in December and I'm worried and scared. To help myself I've stopped alcohol completely

Feeling paranoid
I'm at group therapy and I'm feeling really paranoid right now. More than usual. I'm afraid that someone will notice my paranoia and shame me for it ...thoughts?

Oestradial HRT & the thyroid, Lenzetto blood tests
I just wondered if low oestradial affects the thyroid? I have been on HRT since March and my level is still only 197 pmol/L. I use 3 sprays of Lenzetto. I wondered if it could be affecting my thyroid function? I don’t have menopause symptoms, I had bottom of range testosterone, but this is now in range

Oxygen therapy
I am helping to look after my 88 year old sister at present. She has been prescribed ambulatory oxygen therapy following a diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, I think related to her Protein S Deficiency. She is frail and even the small oxygen cylinders are heavy and difficult for her to use but oxygen

No meds no symptoms
I was told a week ago to stop all my medication due to a chest infection and WBC being too low. I've been off my hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate for over a week now and weirdly my joints and swelling has been the best it's been for over 2 years. I feel perplexed has a 2 year flare just finished

Testosterone and SHBG puzzle ...
Hello all, I am on HRT including testosterone replacement: what do you think of these results? High SHBG, high testosterone but sub-optimal Free Androgen Index, I was told by a menopause doctor that the index should be around 2.5 to be optimal and that is the most important indicator. I was put on a
