Elective bilateral ovary and tube removal
Hi, due to a malfunctioning PALB2 gene and family history of ovarian cancer, I'm having keyhole on Friday. Obviously, my nerves were on high alert, but are even worse since I went down a Google rabbit hole and read that green tea is a no no re surgery. I only drink one mug a day and haven't had any

Help for son please blood test results are they valid if not on dose prescribed
Asking for my adult son who had his blood tests results back yesterday which say normal. He has autoimmune thyroid disease and was on 175 mcg a day but because he felt very unwell he dropped to 150 mcg and began to feel much better. So for the last 6 months he’s been on the lower dose of 150. He had

Looking for typical Prednisone reduction schedule new on Actemra
Haven't been around much lately. This has probably been the worst, six months of my seven years with pmr and final recent eye surgery for double vision 7.8 Have spent the last six months deciding on starting Actemra at the urging of my rheumatologist. Round and round with insurance (U.S.) appeal, re-submission

High Blood pressure
Hello, I have been told I have high blood pressure (168 / 107) in a routine health check. The nurse recommended I contact my doctor.

completely numb and don’t know what to do - heartbeat stopped
I can’t believe I’m writing this, I thought I’d be telling my family good news today instead. I went for a scan at 7+4 and the baby had no heartbeat and stopped growing at 7 weeks. I have only 2 really low grade embryos frozen and would like to transfer as soon as I can. I’m not expecting them to work

RSV vaccine
I’ve just been offered a respiratory syncytial vaccine through my surgery. Not heard of it. Rolling it out initially for aged group 75 and 79. Anyone else heard of it?

Had hypothyroidism for 20 years and pre-diabetes for about 12 years which I've managed to keep under control, touch wood. Now my GP surgery has insisted I attend a 60 Day Care Plan or some rubbish probably driven by Government bonuses as they've never batted an eyelid about test results until now and
