post-op incisions
Hi everyone, I had surgery (ovarian cystectomy & excision of endometriosis) on 18/02/24 One of my wounds seems to be open. I feel ‘fobbed off’ by doctors who state it will close on its own. Did anyone else’s incisions look like this? Did they heal okay? Also, my belly button scab has now fallen

Bowel preparation before surgery
Hi everyone! 💛 Just been on pre op assessment and nurse said I don’t need to do bowel preparation at home. I will have hysterectomy with bowel resection and Endo excision. Has anyone had bowel preparation at hospital just before the operation? I am quite concerned what is going on 🤷♀️

Has the Pulsed Field Ablation technique increased success rate?
Although Flecainide 50mg bid has kept AF episodes to a much lower frequency, 6 in ‘23, I’d like to hear from a few more of you who have undergone this new procedure. What are the results; is the blanking period shorter; anyone had it done at Royal Bournemouth Hospital? I hear reports that it’s much

L Glutamine
Hi everyone, could anyone advice me on L Glutamine, I have Intestinal Metaplasia and I don't know if I should take it. I have read it supports the stomach lining but I am concerned that this would only help a 'normal stomach' and I may do more harm than good. Thanks

Tirosint
Hi, I posted earlier about Tirosint in Gel capsules possibly giving me a rash. I stopped taking them 4 weeks ago and the rash continues. Not as bad but still all down my legs and arms. My question. Can it take so long to leave the body? Or am I blaming the wrong thing for my rash? Blood tests were

hip surgery
i have damaged my right hip favoring my left “Parkinson’s” side. I have a labral tear and a cyst in addition to a rough and worn bone structure. I see a hip specialist in a couple weeks and will likely have surgery. Who here has had hip surgery on your “good” side?

C section vs Lap Recovery
Has anyone had both a c section and lap with excision, cysts removed and bowel shaved? Just wondering how recovery compares with the 2 surgeries. My pain was gone 2 weeks post section and I was out of bed 6 hours after surgery. Something tells me this is going to be worse! Lap scheduled in 4 weeks, dreading

Approved additives and E-numbers (UK)
As food additives are often discussed, I thought it might be useful to post the current list of approved additives in the UK. Note that the use of substances in foods is largely separate to their use in medicines. One example being Titanium dioxide which is now banned in foods in the EU and Northern

Valproate: new safety and educational materials to support regulatory measures in men and women under 55 years of age
I don't think there is any reason to expect many members to be taking any form of Valproate, but this is such an important issue, with such significant consequences, I've decided to post it anyway. Even if you are not taking it, someone you know might be. [i]

SH again
Another new aspect of this guilt is knowing that certain people now have
scars
on my body assigned to them. I HATE that, they don’t deserve that and I feel weak for allowing that to happen. How am I supposed to move on from this when the wounds are still there and I have that constant reminder?

I am no stranger to

and looking different as I have a long history of self-harm, including to my face. However this burning incident was very significant both physically and mentally and has changed my appearance a lot and now I get a lot of comments and stares.

Loss of service
Since being diagnosed with lymphoedema early this year as a result of surgery/trauma I have been trying various stockings and tights which wouldn't make my sensitive skin itch. I phoned my lymph team up today to discuss where to go from here and I have been told that they can no longer support Lymph

Further update Gallbladder removal
So I am home after a long day. Had to get up at 5am to be at hospital by 7am. All the usual preps and questions then operation took place at 10am. Because I have an LBBB (No underlying heart issues) They were extra careful with monitoring so had an extra canula thingy in my inner wrist to monitor heart

Nose surgery??
I had a major jaw surgery in 2022 to correct a severe underbite, and resultant chronic pain. I've been super self conscious of my nose (and the rest of my face) since and am having therapy. But I'm also considering getting nose surgery. What are your thoughts? What would you change?
