Scars
Hi all hope you are enjoying your Friday. Has any one had any one had any experience with Hypertropic scars? I think my arm where they tried to harvest arteries for my CABG is going that way, although no arteries were used. Thanks in advance x

How to reduce Calcium Score ??
I was given a CAT scan that was cut short with the message "Cannot continue with Calcium Score of 1829"! . After other scans I was given a CABG. I am unaware of how a CABG reduces the Calcium Score of the gunge in the unchanged arteries. I am 75 and have always been fit and active and had a good diet

Sleeping/sleep position post cabg
Hi all, l am now about a week and a half post op, double CABG. Everything seems to be moving along ok, I’m doing my exercises, getting a bit stronger by the day, the op seems like ages ago already. One thing I’m struggling with is sleep. Not so much getting to sleep, but trying to sleep on my back when

Mycobacterium Chimaera
Hi, I’m Steve, I had a valve repair and CABG in 2015, I’ve since received notification of a risk of infection, Mycobacterium Chimaera, felt really good for the first two years but now have some symptoms of the above, undergoing tests at the moment, has anybody else come across this?

My cramps are gone
I've been on Imbruvica for well over one year and I have often had some really bad cramps, mostly at night. Lately I have developed boils. I don't like to take antibiotics, so I thought that if i started self treating the boils they would go away. Ha! Was I wrong. One of my boil treatments was to soak

New results and an update - Vit D, early Lyme Disease and what looks like vitiligo
Doc called this morning to check in (looks like throwing my toys out of the pram made a big difference!). Results came back and she said I'm severely Vit D deficient (result 22, didn't get the range but "severe" is good enough for me) and tested positive for "early" Lyme Disease. The D3 I bought is

CLL and skin cancer
I am wondering if others are having difficulty with skin cancers if they have CLL. Not sure if the skin cancer is progressing due to disease or side effect of Imbruvica. My mother has needed many progressive surgeries to treat her skin cancers and wants to come of the Imbruvica which seems to be helping

Ringworm Problems
Hello, I’m new to this forum and I need some help regarding Ringworm.

Scaphoidectomy with 4 corner fusion (cause Priesers Disease)
Almost 7 years ago I had my scophoid removed and a 4 corner fusion using a bone graft from my iliac crest. I was told it would last 10 yes but since I was so young it might not last that long ( I was 31 yes old at the time of surgery). I think it is starting to fail, I'm having pain again in my wrist

Do I have lyme Disease yes or not?
Hi good people. It's been said that if you have any of these bands in your labs then you have LYME D: 23 31 34 39 83/93; yet my labs didn't: 41KD 41KD; 41KD 58KD. MY labs video: https://youtu.be/yz7yDPQMs9w and even my infection specialist agreed on that; yet she refused to treat me for a possible

The Ironic Tee shirt. Aaaahahahahahahaha!
I’d been waiting to do my first park run after graduating in April but thought I would get lots of runs in first and had also decided to wait until after my significant birthday this week, reasoning that it was daft to have my run comparisons in two different age groups. Alarm set to Ed Sheeran’s Supermarket
