Endo back after surgical menopause - anyone else?
It's a long story so I shall keep it short - I had TLH/BSO with excision at a BSGE centre in 2017, putting me in surgical meno. Things were generally OK for a while but about 18 months ago I started to get symptoms again (pain, cystitis, then the unpredictable guts started). Gave up on the wait for an

surgical menopause
hi! What are your thoughts on including progesterone in your hrt regime if you are in surgical menopause and previously had severe endo? My hysterectomy included endo excision by an endo specialist. Is it necessary?

Tocilizumab in the UK
I thought it may be helpful to share my Rheumy appointment yesterday. I have GCA and PMR and due to various reasons cannot tolerate Steriods. Instead I am treated with Methotrexate and tocilizumab which I received for a year as in standard in the UK. I was worried about what would happen when year expired

Adrenals
Morning everyone. This is my first post on here. I was diagnosed with GCA in August 2022 and have been tapering down the Prednisolone to 5mg. I also take Tocilizumab and Methotrexate as I’ve had a difficult time with the Prednisolone so many side effects. How do I know if my adrenal glands are working

There’s no point to this post
Hi everyone, hope you’re all as well as can be. I’m approximately 3 1/2 years into this PMR. Sometimes it gets me down. I’ve been trying to start Humira for Ankylosing Spondylitis again, but the delivery company have been an absolute NIGHTMARE! It’s been so long since I last took it that I’m wondering

Laparoscopy oophorectomy

Benefits of knowing your illness/condition/disease to help others as well as yourself
It’s about time I posted that a couple of months ago my husband was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnosis having had PMR, GCA/LVV myself over the past 5 and a half years and haven’t, until now, felt ready to share his story on the forum.

Monthly bleed post oophorectomy
Following both ovaries being removed in April, I'm still having the monthly cramps and some light bleeding. Anyone else had this? I'm now concerned that there may be remnants of the ovaries left behind!

Gallbladder Removal?
Hey MPN-ers 😊 It’s recently become recommended for me to have my gallbladder removed. Not really in any pain but sporadic discomfort and upon ultrasound it was discovered my gallbladder is full of stones 🥴 I’ve been reading up on some patients side affects after and the stress it puts on the liver

Autoimmune Registry
I didn't know there was an Autoimmune Registry. However polymyalgia rheumatica is not found through their opening page search although it is on the list as a vascular disease, as is giant cell arteritis. Maybe their search function is as useful as HU's (used to be)? :D Or maybe they just haven't got
