Duopa anyone?
My husband's neurologist has recommended he get a Duopa pump. His C/L meds don't work as well anymore (lots of 'off time') so this is the next option. The pump is similar to a feeding tube and uses a daily cartridge to deliver C/L in gel form directly into his blood stream, thereby avoiding his stomach

"Run, definitely run"
Any Avatar fans out there might remember Sigourney Weaver saying this.More recently, the cancer nurse at my cli7nic appointment before my surgery used exactly the same words in the same tone of voice when I asked if I should continue to run or rest between then and the operation. She and the surgeon

canker sore, low wbc and GI infection
Hi all, I’m nearing 8 months post transplant. Up until last week, things were going really well. My kidney function was the best it had been a gfr of 64 and I was starting to feel a return to normal. I had a low wbc but transplant center wasn’t concerned. And then the SH*T hit the fan. I came down

Hello from a new member! :-)
Hello everyone! Well, this is a surprise. Up until 2 years ago I had had zero issues with my heart; quite the opposite as I was a pretty fit chap for late 50s, no illnesses, no surgery, no medications, last ran the London Marathon in 2019, and still maintained an unrestricted Civil Aviation Authority

Simvastatin v Atorvastatin
Just had a conversation with my Surgery employed Pharmacist. she asked me if I would object to switching from Simvastatin to Atorvastatin as the Simvastatin was rather an old drug. I was put on it around 2007. I told her to go ahead ... no problems. The following quote is what I found during an ultra

CABG and Memory loss
Hi, it's six week since my triple bypass. My scar is healing well and I'm slowly recovering from the surgery. Two things concern me, my legs are still painfully swollen and causing discomfort the other is my short term memory is shot, I'd laugh at my forgetfulness but I'm beginning to find it scary.

Adenomyosis
Do you always need a hysterectomy with Adenomyosis? I've just been diagnosed,also with suspected Endo, ovaries 'stuck' together and 6 ovarian cysts. Does it always progress to get much worse and possible endo cancer? I've had thyroid cancer and seen there is a link with Adenomyosis and thyroid cancer

Trimbow
So been on Trimble for a few months, prescribed by my Nurse at the G.P. surgery. Constant sore throat and hoarse voice. She is reluctant to take me off it (don't know why). How she wants me to use a spacer thing. Will try that. If I don't get on with that she said come in to see her as it's probably

Heart valve surgery
My mum underwent heart valve surgery on Monday and she's still on a ventilator 3 days after the operation and they now think she's got a chest infection. I was just wondering if anyone had been in a similar position? And how long people took to recover?
