Scared. Mind is racing. Mom needs heart surgery.
I've posted before kind of on this topic but since I've become more agoraphobic and neurotic and shut down and hiding in my house. My mom needs heart surgery. She is my best friend. She is 82. I am 47. I don't have a partner or kids. I have a brother. He helps sometimes but he isn't completely emotionally

Excision and bowel surgery
So I've had a private appointment recently at the endometriosis clinic (the NHS have failed me too many times) I'm booked in for excision surgery and the surgeon has suggested having the bowel surgeon there too to remove a 5cm nodule from my bowel.All I can say on the situation is , I am absolutely petrified

I am now 24 years out from my kidney transplant. I remember it as if it were yesterday! Getting the "call" at 2:30 AM and having to be at transplant center by 5:30...and then not taken to surgery till 3:00 PM. Had a lot of time to "stress out". Picture is of me hiking in Arches National Park in September

High cholesterol
I have recently signed up the Our Future Health programme. I was invited along for a blood test and a finger prick cholesterol test. The cholesterol result came back as 10.14 and I was told to go to my GP. I had a cholesterol blood test at my doctors surgery in July and it came back as 6.1. I thought

MRI on Monday
My first MRI taught me that I am not claustrophobic, LOL, but the noise really made me crazy! I think this will be the first MRI since I started Xeloda earlier this year. Cancer had stopped being E + and became triple negative, not good news at all. So, hopefully this will let me and my treatment

PMR, blood tests,when to seek a rheumatologist, TMJ
Hello, I seem to be having a bit of a bumpy ride since diagnosis of PMR and I’ve lost confidence in my current GP. Diagnosis in Feb ‘23 came from a young locum who seemed really switched on but sadly she’s no longer there. So, I’ve made a decision to pay to see a private rheumatologist at the Nuffield

Doxycycline, small clinical trial
A few months ago, Seasid posted a study on doxycyline, however it was all lab studies. This study is a small "open-window" trial on breast cancer patients indicating eradication of cancer stem cells by doxycycline, an antibiotic. 10.3389/fonc.2018.00452 Prostate and breast cancer have similarities

Started #Zoladex to treat uterine #Polyps & bleeding/spotting is not stopping!!!
Guys I’m really hoping you can help or offer insight. I started experiencing irregular bleeding after taking progesterone only birth control pills. I continued onto the next pack and I didn’t stop bleeding. Dr gave me Tranexamic Acid and it stopped it for a while and continued taking pill every day

Debating whether to have myomectomy
Hi there, I have recently been advised to have a myomectomy in order to increase my chances of conceiving. I have three fibroids at the top of my uterus that appear to be removable through keyhole surgery. I'm debating whether to go ahead. I'm nearly 44 and feel that time is against me to start having

**Last Update** Covid - Help!
For those who've had Covid at some point, when did your symptoms go away and did you need professional medical treatment for that to happen? My son was formally diagnosed on 9/18, and I developed symptoms the following day. I didn't bother getting tested. He was barely sick for about 3 days, but I've

Does RA exist in the hips?
I've had fibromyalgia for around 20 years so am familiar with the symptoms. RA was diagnosed 4 years ago and I am now on Sarilumab jabs. I had a terrible flare around 4 weeks ago and couldn't get through to Rheumatology by any means. The pain in my hips was like fire and I had no real sleep for 2

Abnormal low creatinine level
My partner had a health check up a few weeks ago. She didn't notice until the morning of the check up that she had to provide a urine sample, she had already been to the toilet that morning so she drank over a half a litre that morning and provided a sample while she was in the surgery. She received

Hi, I had Open Heart Surgery for Mitral Valve prolapse in June 2022, Occular migraines started straight away, followed by 24/7 tinnitus which started in March of 2023, I am convinced there is a connection to the surgery, but who knows! I moved to USA in 2009, prior to that I was born and lived in Manchester

How long does GP surgery have to respond to a SAR
I handed in a subject access request to GP surgery on 29th August. Heard nothing, think maybe they are being deliberately obstructive . Went in on Saturday for flue jab, the techy man, supposedly deals with all computer queries was there. He asked if I have had success adding daughter to MY GP app
