Experiences with

Stoma surgery

Recovering from surgery was going well...until it wasn't. I spent the weekend in agony with symptoms and extreme pain that shouldn't have occurred.

I'm just starting my third week of recovery from laparoscopic hysterectomy. I'm 33 no children. During COVID I fell off all the waiting lists and had to go private with GPs and paid for an ultrasound to get taken seriously. I finally managed to get an appointment with an endo specialist and after ten

Has anyone on here decided to have natural cycles and not take any hormonal treatments after endometriosis diagnosis? Especially after laparoscopy and removal surgery? I don’t like the thought of being stuck on hormonal treatment forever (other than when trying to conceive) as I never feel like myself

It’s a long post of pure venting. So pls forgive me.

Hi everyone,I was just looking through my test results on my NHS App in prep for my next appointment with consultant and found that my CRP was 49 in Dec 23 when I was contracted with Covid when I was told all my results were normal.

….then I’ll begin. On the 26th July I had abdominal surgery and was in theatre about 2 hours. 3 days later I went into Afib. Not too surprised but this went on for 47 hours. I average Afib between every 3-5 weeks for 18-28 hours. Never been a problem and I let it do its own thing. 3 weeks later

Lupus is pretty quiet at the moment (yay!) but always means one of the other issues is being a bugger.

Please see bio for most details... My overall question is....is there any evidence to suggest that surgical removal of the "mother ship" will either slow progression of current metastasis and/or help prevent further metastatic spread?

This is the first time since I was diagnosed in 2020.I'm currently in the second week of slow reduction from 2mg to 1.75.
