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

Why are things so grim?
Ugh… I doubted myself recently when I went to see a consultant again. Despite having endo treated twice before, I thought ‘what if it’s not endo this time?’, ‘what if I’m wasting this person’s time?’. …anyway I’m booked in for surgery in 2.5 weeks time and can’t come soon enough. Today I started my

changes
Hi everyone I had my quadruple bypass back at the end of June. I did extremely well with recovery and suffered no setbacks. Now coming up to 9 months post surgery. I’m just wondering what changes people made to their diet and lifestyle following their surgery? We had/have a healthy diet anyway but

Advice on shrinking endometrioma
Hi, I've been recently diagnosed with endo and have a large endometrioma on my ovary. I've been advised the only way to get rid of it is with surgery. However I'm weighing up whether surgery is worth it due to A) the risks of other organs being damaged and potentially losing my ovary and B) it still

3 am protocol for T3, please tell me about it?
Please could you tell me what I need to know about the 3 am protocol for T3? Does there need to be a gradual transition from split dosing? Anything else I should know? I have been on T3 only for some years and recently have been very tired and depressed, for me the usual symptoms of being hypo. T3

Gallstones are actually a hernia/ulcers
Hi everyone, hope you are all as well as you can be. I had my endoscopy this week to see if they could find the suspected gallstones. Instead they found a large hiatus hernia, plus multiple stomach ulcers. This explains why I have been in so much pain, in a constant state of nausea, and off work for
