Esomoprazole and ablation recovery
Does nothing go right for me or am I just a complete wimp.The aura headaches continue since my ablation last Tuesday (albeit less intense and less frequent). Not been a good sleeper for a long time and blame the meds but .....now I am getting nightmares and waking almost every hour. To add insult to

Sudden Sensory Hearing Loss - Associated Tinnitus
Steroid
treatment (oral/
injections
) have helped with restoring high frequency sounds but low and mid are still significantly impaired. The tinnitus has remained - relentless for all times I’m awake.

NHS On The Ball As Ever, Not.
I recently wrote that at the end of February I spent the day in the emergency dept due to shortness of breath, I'd been advised to go there by the GP surgery. Anyway it was decided after lots of tests it was an exacerbation of my asthma, I was treated with a nebuliser, steroids and a stronger inhaler

How accurate is a visual field test?
Hello I am new to this site but have been a member of Health Unlocked for some time. I have had glaucoma in both eyes for approximately 11 years and was well controlled until about 3.5 years ago when I developed uveitis in my left eye (my worse eye for glaucoma). It was treated as an acute emergency

Struggling to reduce, despite slow descent
Hi everyone, I will try to keep this brief but also hope I give sufficient information. I am feeling pretty despondent about where I am going though I know the steroids are valuable and my only option to make life manageable. I developed PMR symptoms in March/April 2022 and was given the diagnosis

2x Emergency Steroids in one month
Well, if you said to me to stay off work last week, you were probably absolutely right 😂 I got some kind of flu-ey thing which left me wiped out on Monday and then - [i]whoosh[/i] - straight to my chest. I went to the dr on Tuesday and he was reluctant to prescribe me anything because I'd just had

Hi lovely Lupies, an update on my post despairing of getting any support. Today the Rheumatology Nurse called me and was incredulous when I told her about my GP`s attitude. Within an hour I have now had a call from my Rheumy`s secretary to say a prescription for a course of steroids has been sent to

FET while/soon after breastfeeding?
Hello lovely group, I just wondered if anyone has had a successful FET while still breastfeeding/soon after stopping? I'm incredibly lucky to have my son (5 egg collections, 6 embryo transfers, and he was the 8th embryo); he's 20 months now and I'd love to try for a sibling using my frozen embryos.

Update on Ven & Obin protocol
I’m all the way through the ramp up on Venetaclax - just started 400 mg and have 2-3 more Obin infusions. Here is what I’ve found: 1. Insist on anti nausea meds with Obin for premeds. Once I did that the single episode of throwing up with the first infusion was resolved. Also, I requested a vein
