Crisis!
I've just spent 50 minutes waiting on the phone to speak to a real human being at my doctor's surgery to try and make an appointment to speak to the respiratory nurse, to book a blood test for suspected diabetes and to get my heart checked out. After 50 minutes and being told I was in position number

painful cramping when urinating
Hey guys! I had a diagnostic laparoscopy a week ago and I keep experiencing pain in my bladder and sharp cramping when trying to wee. Is this a normal thing for after surgery? This is my op so I’m just unsure.

Surgery for fallopian tubes removal
Hi Has anyone had fallopian tubes removed but ovaries and uterus left intact? I've been advised to have this surgery through keyhole , ct scan shows abscesses in tubes. Although six months ago another scN showed abscess near uterus and one doctor mentioned hysterectomy. The doctor I saw this morning

Endo in Csection scar
Hi all, I've finally been put onto the waiting list for surgery!! I could not be happier, it's been a long fight to finally get this cut out of me.. I live in pain, some days mild others I can't even walk. A lump formed deep inside my lower right tummy just behind my csection scar on the right. This

Early embryo transfer (Day 1 transfer) 2WW
Hi everyone, I don’t hear a lot online about embryo transfers that are done early on. So it’s hard to know whether I should be expecting an early pregnancy test to work or not. This round of IVF I ended up with 1 embryo so my clinic put it straight back in the day it fertilised. The cycle before

Flare Strategy?
After having a flare 4 months ago and going from 4.5 mg to 10 for a week, then dropping back to 5.5 for 5 weeks, I have now tapered down to 5mg, where I have been for 10 weeks. My doctor seems fine with my staying at 5 for awhile longer. Three days ago and coinciding with much colder weather, I experienced

Tummy pain after laparoscopy
Hi. I had a laparoscopy after finding out that I had a large ovarian cyst on my left ovary. It measured 10cm (the size of a grapefruit!) I had my surgery last Tuesday so 1 week today! When they went in for the surgery the cyst was gone (I couldn’t believe it when she told me!) It had burst & dispersed

Hello, My name is Amie and I am new to the group. I was just diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in January. So far it has been a very painful, scary and frustrating experience! I never had any symptoms up until January and have been in horrendous pain ever since. Doctors in the hospital treated me

Help!
I'm at the end of my tether. I'm 74 and have had UTIs since 16 - usually 1-2 a year, easily treated. A couple of years ago they were getting more frequent and GP gave me standby px for Macrobid and with this I've managed to self treat at the 1st symptom. 5 months ago I had a bad flare up which took several

Help! Have I messed up
I have just had a telephone consultation with a GP hoping for help with the symptoms I have been experiencing. I tried to point him in the direction of the relevant guidelines for treating B12 deficiency, he said that he was familiar with the NICE CKS as he deals with B12 all the time and I m not anaemic

Heparin
Today they gave me heparin after treatment as my CVC has been clotting and the doctor prescribed it. I've never used it so wonder what some others who do have experienced? I have surgery scheduled Apr 1 and don't know when or it I need to not have it before.

Really upset with my GP
I had a telephone appointment with the GP today, I said as i will have been on 15mg for 3 weeks on Friday, I would like to go down to 12.5mg, so would need some 2.5mg tablets. He downright refused and said I have a blood test in 3 weeks and he will look at that and then decide what to do next. I told

aortic valve stenosis
In 2022 I had a hip replacement following covid infection as it affected the synovial hip fluid and was then alerted to the fact that there was a problem with my aortic valve. I need to have aortic valve replacement and am currently on the waiting list. In my first consultation the cardiologist said

Running bra
So, this is a bit niche but does anyone have any advice/sources for post mastectomy bras for running. A bit of background... My surgery was over 10 years ago I have tried various sports bras since but the only ones I have had and been happy with are cheap decathlon ones which clip at the back to a racer

Is Isosorbate Mononitrate 60mg necessary?
What I've got is very mild angina symptoms brought on by emotional stress. I'm 63, male. It's like a slight stitch, almost trivial. They've doubled my atorvastatin to 80mg pd. And "added in" Isosorbide Mononitrate 60mg pd to "alleviate symptoms". I'm happy with the statin, but the nitrate tablets seem

Is Isosorbide Monosorbate necessary?
It's all come as a horrible shock. Last week received cc'd letter from Cardiology to my GP saying I'd got Triple Vessel Disease with severe coronary calcification, lots of scary medical jargon, urgent increase in medication and an appointment with the intervention team in two weeks. No sugaring the pill
