Lots of Energy Yesterday
Yesterday, I felt like my old self and despite the heat worked in my garden for most of the day. Could have done more and my energy was almost limitless. Why was that you may ask? Well I forgot to take my beta blocker 25mg of Metoprolol that morning. My goodness who would have thought that medication

have a surgery coming up in two weeks under general anesthesia and just had some heart palpitations and went to a&e.
at emergency they told me I have a first degree heart block and also found a sinus pause of 2.5 seconds. Will I still be able to go ahead with the surgery and general anesthesia? Really scared now that I will die on the table!

Has anyone not been diagnosed after first laparoscopy but diagnosed later?
Hey everyone! 🤗 This may be a bit of a long one, so I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read it. I was wondering if anyone had endometriosis that was missed during their first laparoscopy? I've had debilitating pain on and off for almost two years. I went to the GP so many times when the pain

Interesting update for those in the UK whose GP practice has Buprenorphine red listed
Finally, after months of hitting my head against a brick wall with my GP practice, where Buprenorphine is firmly red-listed (and the partners flatly refuse to change their stance, even after being presented with all the research we know about on this site), I have been able to obtain an NHS prescription

update and advice please
First of all I want to thank the administrators and everyone who contribute to this forum. I look at it several times a week and so continue to learn about our shared condition from all the contributions. I need to take a bit of a sounding about my next steps – I think I know what I want to do, but

asking for a friend (really) oncologist referral Chicago or Mayo Rochester
I am an open book for people newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and often hear from friends of friends. Looking back on my journey, I feel that I too quickly went the surgery route after consulting with a very good urologist/surgeon/oncologist and I erred not consulting with a Medical Oncologist first

RAI failure... worse than previously.. advice please
Hi, pleased to find this forum as struggling knowing what to do next... I've had hyperthyroidism for 12 years, tested negative for graves twice, so likely TMG although consultants also think possibly graves?! Had a failed biopsy and been subclinical for a while... had RAI at the end of Jan. Now worse

Nerve damage
Hi, Has anyone experienced nerve damage as a result of endometriosis? My surgeon warned me it was a risk associated with surgery and I already had some symptoms of nerve involvement but they're worse since surgery. Is there anything that helps?

thanks for all the responses. I’ve been fighting metastatic bc since 2011 after 19 years from original diagnosis stage 2. Prognosis was very good. Surprised after 19 years. I was put on femara and Zometa. Then 2018 switched to ibrance , fasladex and Zometa. Oncologist retired so I went too Sloan. I ended
