A better appointment today!
After months of visiting the doctors surgery and having small levo increases with no change in my symptoms i have finally seen a sympathetic and intrigued doctor. He was reading my notes whilst i was explaining my symptoms and that 50mcg levo isn't cutting it, he stopped me in my tracks and said "no

What is normal after surgery and what isn't
My husband had stoma surgery two weeks ago and got home a week later. Since coming home he seems to be deteriorating not improving. On the advice of his stoma nurse, we are going to see the GP to get bloods taken, etc this morning. However, is it normal to go off your food, be scared to eat in case

Nice different GP!
I thought I would tell you about a GP I saw on Saturday (yes, Saturday!). I rang surgery on Friday regarding a sore throat of over 4 weeks. They had no appointments but could refer me to a different surgery which could see me on Saturday afternoon. The doctor there asked me questions about my health

Dad's Tooth Extraction Went GREAT!!! :)
Hi Friends, I asked in another post for your opinions on meds to accompany a tooth extraction in Daddy, who has had varying degrees of psychosis following his last surgery. Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and input. He did wonderfully and the dentist and staff were extremely accommodating

miracles do happen
hi just wanted to share my good news. I have had painful periods most of my life ( with the word painful being an understatement). At age 23 I bled for 50 days and had an MRI scan which showed an endometrioma, adenomyosis and a polyp. My gynaecologist wanted to perform surgery but I said no as I read

If I Didn't Have Faith and Family Like You!
Now, I just shared my story about my weekend in NY seeing Chris Botti; now I'm sitting in the Family Waiting Room of Jefferson Hospital for hubby to get out of surgery. He kept complaining of bad back and stomach pain. Well, large Kidney Stone causing a blockage! He needed a different procedure; not

Depression and physical pain
My depression had improved a lot this year by changing to a more active lifestyle and changing jobs to be less isolated (among other things). But I had surgery for carpal and cubital tunnel and cannot work for a month. This is week 3 and my depression is getting worse from inactivity and isolation and
