Advice/Help
Hi all, I'm just looking for some advice please? I'm due to go in for a Laparoscopy next week, I've had heart surgery in the past but, I'm really nervous about this surgery due to complications in the previous surgeries. So I'm just trying to calm my nerves by being as prepared as much as possible.

Open heart surgery for ASD CLOSE
To everyone who has given me advice, I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all the guidance and support you’ve offered since my open-heart surgery in April 2014 for ASD closure. Your insights and encouragement mean a lot to me, especially as I navigate the challenges I've faced

no cure
I’m pleased to see the post telling everyone about ‘how their endometriosis was cured’ has been taken down. There is NO CURE! Even if you have all diseased tissue removed you still have the disease. Some are lucky and don’t get a reoccurrence of the diseased tissue but for most the disease comes back

ICU Stay Neuro Challenges
Seeing if anyone has any insight. On May 16th my mom (62 years old) went to her cardiologist with chest pain. She did have afib for the last three year but she had that under control. When she went to her cardiologist on the 16th he sent her to the ER just because he was concerned with chest pains

Misdiagnosis
I am reasonably new to this site and have found it incredibly useful and informative. However, I recently received a bombshell, in that I have possibly been misdiagnosed with AF. I visited my GP at the end of September in 2023 with severe palpitations and given three ECGs. Two of these were viewed by

Meds & raised blood sugar
My 86 year old brother, who has heart failure, was found at a routine blood test to have raised blood sugar in the prediabetic range. In response to this, he received a standard letter from the practice with the website of diabetes UK to consult for info. He can't use the internet and I was concerned

Pre diabetes update , raised uric acid,
About 2 weeks ago I had some blood tests at the GP surgery , received a text telling me I was pre diabetic and offering me to join a program to make health choices etc. I was shocked, so was my GP. She went through my history, current rehab, nutrition etc and thought the result was a false positive.

John Radcliffe waiting times for surgery
Hi. I’m waiting for heart surgery valve repair (hopefully) at Oxford Radcliffe. Been waiting 4 months. No idea of when they will get round to me. Get very vague responses. Anyone else on a list at the JR waiting longer than this? Thanks

Painkiller for after Dental Procedure
So next week I’m going to my dental surgery to get three tooth implants. The first session is when they drill metal rods into the bone. Once the local anaesthetic wears off it’s very painful. I’ve had one done before now this time three at once!! Last time I didn’t know about my CKD so as I can’t take

Surgery
So on Tuesday the 27th I will be going to the doctor about my fingers. They are performing what is called an angiogram extremity’s bilateral procedure, they are gonna go in and put dye in my fingers to see where the blood flow stops and I’m mostly likely going to be losing the tip of my middle finger

Any suggestions please.
Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top
