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

Lowering eye pressure
Pre trabeculectomy I was on lantoprost for 3 months and it didn’t really lower my eye pressure and for the other eye I was on it for 6 months pre surgery. Tried fixapost and Timolol briefly before surgery and i don’t think it worked. My eye pressures have gone up and the consultant has put me on monopost

circumcision 3rd day
hi guys my pee hole looks like lips and it’s very tight it is swollen but apart from the pee hole the penis itself it’s not that swollen to be fair. But am worried and scared because when I pass urine it’s coming out thin and hard to be fair like the pee hole is blocked but I can still pee. I fink it

Feeling like Chemo is too Hard
Hi. I was diagnosed 3B HG in August 2018, had surgery, frontline, first recurrence ( carbo and caelyx/doxil), 3 years of Olaparib, one year on nothing and now am having carboplatin alone for second recurrence. My oncologist said this would be relatively easy. Also I haven’t had some of the worst complications

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

Bursitis of toes & Steroid Injection
I've had pain from between the second & third toe since last May. It hurts to stand & walk especially barefoot or in shoes. I tend to wear trainers when I can as the base is soft & spongy. I had surgery Oct 22 for severe arthritis in the large toe & at first I feared it had spread. Two trips to GP (

Prednisolone and surgery
Hi everyone, I've been reading all the recent posts about problems reducing prednisolone with interest. When I was diagnosed in September 2023 (non cranial GCA) I naively expected my steroid reducing timetable, given to me on discharge, would be exactly as it was on the sheet. I'm now down to 8mg per

Edoxaban and dreams and nightmares
Hi all, Hope you all have a great Easter ... plenty of chocolate and bunnies ..... or even warm, sunny, dry weather ! Have any of you who take Edoxaban experienced the worst most sleep destroying nightmares of a violent topic ? Or even any nondescript dreams or nightmares. I did put a post on here

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

Mechanical valve
Thanks for your replies! You are correct, I think I got my terminology wrong, sorry. I will have a mechanical valve not a biological valve, thus the need for warfarin. I was also hoping to use the self testing kit for warfarin, as we spend much time in Africa, which could be rather tricky. Good to

Recent Radical Surgery
Hi All, diagnosed after biopsy in December 2023 with 2 hits, one was a Gleason 4+3 and one was a Gleason 4+4. Just had the Radical Davinci Robotic Prostatectomy in March and my pathology seemed all good. Pre surgery PSMA scan and MRI contrast both showed all gland contained 5 lymph nodes were taken

sympathetic ears…
Sometimes I think no one else gets it :( I was lucky to get surgery on Wednesday. This is my third surgery but I really was so so poorly afterwards. I’m feeling lonely, tired, emotional and in pain. I hate people worrying about me so I’ve kept it quiet ish, hardly anyone knows and now I feel useless

Synthetic mytral valve
Hello, Soon I will have mytral valve replacement. I'm 56 female and lead a very active life. My concern is not so much getting back to fitness after surgery but more how much warfarin really affects day to day life. Also I was wondering, are there still no other alternatives to taking warfarin when

Colds and epilepsy
My husband has passed on his cold to me. I started with a tickly cough, now nose is bunged up, coughing is rattly, more so on the right side and head feels dizzy constantly. Ears also feel blocked. Im worried incase it triggers a seizure, as epilepsy nurse told me that viruses can trigger seizures. In

"I Walked Out One Summer's Morning"
is the working title of my book. Over recent years many people have said I should write up my experience which have varied from excellent to absolutely horrendous.

Workplace Accommodations
Hi all - my endo has caused me a few abscesses from work since my surgery. I’m lucky that my work are so understanding with it and they want to help me manage as best I can. I am due to have a meeting next week to see how they can help and what if any accommodations they can put in place for me. I

8 months post Nstemi and quadruple CABG
it’s not all been a linear progress but it has been pretty darn good. Back ggedt issue I’ve had is with my statins. I thought it was the Bisoprolol (1.25mg ) and ramipril (half a 1.25mg tablet) that was making me dizzy , fatigued and zombie like every afternoon to early evening. Plus I had cognitive
