Who is confused? My surgery or me?
I was asked by the GP to remind him, when I reached 3mg in my tapering, that I should have a synacthen test. I have now done so. However, I am being sent for an ACTH blood test Is this the same thing (I don't think so as I have not been asked to miss the steroid dose and there is no indication that

Tocilizumab and heartburn
Hello, I wonder if anybody else with experience of this and if so can you remember if it passed? I’m finally back on Tocilizumab after an ankle replacement, 2 bouts of C-diff, a chest infection and minor surgery for an ingrowing toenail. It’s been a bad 3 months and my RA has been flaring the whole

I am taking synthroid (50 mg) for about 15 years.......after doing my own research there is an effect on bone density. I am 77 and fell and broke my wrist and as I looked at my dexa chart, the bone density has gone down and I had osteoporosis. Synthroid can cause this decline (check on the manufacturer's

Update (from the wife!)
UPDATE : 22 July 2024 - My husband spent a total of 8 weeks in ICU incubated and sedated. Tracheostomy has been removed, but he's really not well and has moved to a Stroke & Neuro Rehab Ward. His surgery apparently went well but he still can't move his arms and keeps getting infections. A long road

Get Your Cataracts Treated!
Age-Related Macular Degeneration sufferers experience a gradual deterioration in their sight due to changes in the macular. Most sufferers are, of a certain age! Another common age-related eye condition is the development of a cataract, so it is not unusual to suffer from both conditions simultaneously

Total Knee Replacement
Hi Hope everyone is well. I need a bit of advice.- I've been given a date for my knee replacement..it's in August and will be done in north London at a good NHS hospital. They have a centre for elective surgery and to be honest it's probably the best hospital option available to me. But for anyone

L4-L5 L5-S1 surgery
It looks like I will soon be offered the above surgery as soon my BMI drops below 30. I cannot tell you how worried I am not only about undergoing 6 hours surgery. But post surgery implications e.g. not allowed to bend down or not do housework for months coming out of my high mattress bed and after

Rising PSA with little shown on PSMA PET
Greetings all. I've been on this forum for years. I've only commented a handful of times, and never made a post. I prefer to usually just read from the sidelines. First of all, a bit about my path thus far. I was diagnosed in May 2010 (age 49) (PSA 4.7 and Gleason 7), had radical surgery in July 2010

Carbimazole and cramps
Hi Everyone, It's been a while since I posted. I've been extremely busy with my disabled mother, followed by the death of my younger brother. I have had to suffer in silence due to having so much to deal with. Thankfully, I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. I opted for staying on carbimazole

Does this look like lupus rash?
Hi everyone. I started with a flat purple rash last Tuesday. It’s spread across my stomach and down the front of my thighs. Then a more sporadic raised rash started on shoulders, back, and then my hands and arms on Friday evening. The first marks on upper body looked like I’d scratched the skin. Yesterday

Electrolyte advice please.
l have paroxysmal AF and recently been getting more episodes. I recently had a blood test, via my GP, to determine the function of my heart. I had my results come through, to my NHS app., late on 24th May, the start of the bank holiday weekend, so have been unable to speak to anyone at my surgery.

Suffering post surgery
I just recently had a septoplasty and turbinate reduction surgery, as chronic colds and poor sleep, had led to or been comorbid with brain fog and depression. I was cautiously hopeful that the surgery would be a game changer, and I am still hopeful, but I am so incredibly miserable. I ended up back in
