Urgent! Cataract surgery info.
I was booked to have cataract surgery this coming Monday and the hospital contacted the surgeon and said because of APS I have to have single use instruments because the eye tissue is delicate?? My surgeon is a skilled man and I have complete faith in him but he said in all his years of doing this surgery

Tomorrow I get my Cardiac CT Results
I was hoping that I could reverse my plaque scores but after reading a medical journal, I will now be happy with status quo.This is what it states: Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) have been proposed to accelerate native coronary atherosclerosis. In patients with established coronary artery disease

Test results and lowered levo
Hi, Wondering if I can get some advice! During a visit to an endocrinologist (unrelated to my thyroid problems) I was surprised with thyroid function tests mid-afternoon. The results (TSH 0.04 & T4 20.4) led to the endo recommending my levothyroxine be dropped from 100mcg (a dose I’ve been on for

'The AI doctor will see you...eventually' article - Anyone else concerned?
This is an article I saw in The Economist 4 days ago (27th March): https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/03/27/the-ai-doctor-will-see-youeventually The sub-heading of the article states: "[i]Artificial intelligence holds huge promise in health care. But it also faces massive barriers[/i]" I know that

Mitral valve replacement with tricuspid repair
I am trying to come to terms with facing open heart surgery shortly for severe mitral valve disease and moderate tricuspid regurgitation. I am 77 with other health issues and I am concerned about the length of time I'll need to recover. I spoke to my GP today to discuss the consultant's findings and

Cataract surgery
Has anyone had successful cataract surgery with high myopia along with BRVO? I'm due to have surgery at the end of September but know that it is more risky in very shortsighted people. Also added complications with having a retinol occlusion. I opted to go to Moorfields because of their good reputation

should I seek a third opinion about endo/adeno diagnosis?
I’m just looking for some advice about where I’m at in terms of my endometriosis and adenomyosis diagnoses. Thanks in advance if you read the entire thing! I have struggled with symptoms since I was 13: painful, heavy periods, pain during intercourse, pain during ovulation, sciatic pain, bowel issues

Post Ablation complications
Had persistent fast AFib since Nov 23, decided to go private route as my health was deteriorating. Echocardiogram Jan 24 showers severe mitral regurgitation, and ejection fraction 28%. Lots more drugs added to the cocktail and now under the care of both a cardiologist and an Electrophysiologist. Drugs

Trabeculectomy advice please
Hi, I am a newbie to this forum. I am nearly 62, and female. I was diagnosed with advanced glaucoma in June 2024 and told I need to have a trabeculectomy in both eyes. I was completely devastated, especially as 6 months ago I had open heart surgery to have an aortic valve replacement. My consultant

Does Gleason score still apply after RP
Hi all. I have never been able to get this question answered. My Gleason was 3+3 before having my prostate removed. It was confirmed 3+3 after surgery. One open margin of less than 1mm. No sign of spreading anywhere locally or distant. My psa was in the .02-.03 range bouncing up and down for 8 years

Stage 4 endo really sucks!!!!
Dear fellow warriors, I'm 28 and I'm reaching out today to share my experience with endometriosis and to seek support from those who may have experienced a similar situation. In 2019, I underwent surgery to address stage 4 endometriosis, hoping to find relief from its debilitating symptoms. However

Robotic surgery?
My mitral valve is deteriorating and surgery is in my future. I’m 72, in good health besides aFib and my valve. I’m interested in robotic surgery and if I would qualify. Curious what other folks experience is.

Is anyone taking naltrexone?
Hello, I had surgery six days ago and thought this might be useful for anyone else to know: Right before I went into the operating theatre, the anaesthetist was going over my chart and said to me “Are you taking this?” (naltrexone). I had actually ran out a few days before my surgery, which he said
