Exercise post surgery
Hi, I appreciate there are other more serious matters of concern but I would just like to know what types of exercise and when you started after lung surgery. I am bored with physio and less motivated to walk everyday!

TSH rising inexplicably
Hi, I haven’t posted for years because things had been as stable as they could be for someone with ME, but in the last year my TSH has gone from suppressed on T3 only therapy to high ‘normal’ to just over ‘normal’ to my latest blood of TSH 7.86. Sorry this is a long post I am a complicated case.

Total Hip Replacement Decision
Hello Friends, I have ET-MPL 515L, and this is year 10 with the disease, and I am doing well thanks to Pegasys. I have been informed, due to arthritis, I need a total hip replacement. Those of us with MPN's are at increased risk of vertebrae and hip fractures, YIKES! In discussions with my Oncologist

Pacemaker surgery
Hello everyone I am likely to be having a pacemaker fitting soon and the idea of the surgery is really freaking me out. I think it's because it's done under local anaesthetic and so I'll see them doing it. For people that have had the surgery, how was it and how did you feel afterwards? I've had two

How To Request Cosmetic Surgery on NHS Due to Facial Different Caused By Illness?

incorrect dose of prednisolone?
Just less than a month ago, I reduced my first prednisolone dose from 15mg to 12.5mg. This was after a blood test. I wasn’t keen to reduce by more than ten percent, especially as I was going to be travelling a long way and be away for Xmas and new year, then home for two days and away again for eight

Ropinirole vs Buprenorphine!
I had a phone call from 1 Dr. who told me that Ropinirole would cure my RLS and was annoyed that I wouldn't take them. He decided to get the head of the Surgery to phone me to try to put pressure on me ! I did say that the 10 mcg had helped me a little bit but I would like a stronger patch . A few day's

Has anyone else struggled after catheter?
I had my endo and fibroids excised on Saturday. I'm hoping it's enough otherwise I'll be back for a hysterectomy to get rid of the adeno too. I found out the day before surgery I would be catheterised. This was fine until the catherer was removed a day later, when I really struggled to empty my bladder

Pregnancy and Endometriosis
Just reaching out to other ladies going through FETs with Endometriosis before lap surgery. does anyone have any positive stories? If IVF doesn’t work out this year was going to look into Lap surgery. I am on the waiting list to see a gynaecologist, but the waiting list is a year ! In my area.

Violent shaking
Hi, everybody. I was diagnosed November 2019 and have tapered to 3mgs a day. I was woken at 3.30 this morning by the badger eating the food we put out for it in the garden. The tin it's under makes a noise. I started to feel a bit strange with the familiar shoulder aches, but then gradually started

Pale skin during flare ups
Does anyone else get a really washed out, pale almost grey skin during flare ups? My Mum often comments on me looking very pale but I caught sight of myself in the mirror yesterday and my eyes were dark underneath (despite having had a long nap), skin so pale with an almost greenish grey tint. Not very

Looking for TKR advice
Hello everyone. I’m a 55 year old male who has had knee problems for the majority of my life. I think it originated from sports injuries as a schoolboy but I remember twisting it while at work when I was about 17 too. I have a long history of having treatment for knee problems including 2 or 3 arthroscopy

secondary hypo and doctor questioning diagnosis
Hello everyone, I moved to a new GP in the last few years (house move). When I moved, my doctor just continued prescribing levothyroxine because it was on my records and although he wasn't testing T3 he did look at T4 and seemed to listen to me when I explained the levels I needed to be at, in order
