Any tips for upcoming THR?
My hip replacement is scheduled for five weeks time. PMR history is diagnosis end of 2020, and infrequent rheumy appointments. I was seeking advice for increasing pain from April 2022, so remained on 7mg pred for about a year, finally completing a slow taper to 6.5mg about a week ago. My GP had eventually

Vagifem causing flare ups?
I've had a hysterectomy and excision and am currently in surgical menopause, about a year ago started with a return of pain/symptoms. MRI earlier this year showed what seems to be the remains of my RV nodule growing about a cm deep into the rectal wall, plus another nodule elsewhere on the bowel. I've

Ferrous Fumerate and pre-existing Reflux
Any tips on how to take ferrous ferritin when you are already prone to reflux (for which I take a PPI)? My guts have just about put up with FF since December, and it has greatly improved my RLS, but increasingly given I take it at night it’s caused bad reflux and I had a massive flare recently during

Thyroid and HRT?
Hi everyone - sorry for the long post!! I was diagnosed as underactive over 15 years ago (autoimmune) and, as consultant originally explained, I needed to increase levothyroxin dose over the years. For the past few years I've managed reasonably well on 175mcg in winter and 150mcg in summer. I started

The Danger of Falls and the warning signs and equipment to prevent them.
I was inspired to write this post by RTR1's recent post about her 1st fall. Falls are one of the most dangerous side effects of MS that affects a large percentage of MS patients. As our disability increases so does the likelihood of falls resulting from that disability. You might ask why I feel

I am so tired of not getting advice from a dr so asking on here about some of my symptoms. My legs ache terribly at night from knee downwards and can become swollen and lumpy. I have eye bags, numb feet gained over a stone and gone up two sizes. I have other things but these are the ones I want to ask

ovarian cancer symptom?
In February this year I became unwell with raised GGT, weight loss, fever terrible headaches, malaise and random abdominal pain. To rule out ovarian or liver cancer (!?) Dr arranged gastroscopy which found nothing. Four months on omeprazole and watch and wait until end of June. Weight settled, but

bisoprolol
was told last week that need a knee replacement- and am in daily discomfort so getting by with a nurofen or two. Has anyone else needed a joint replacement? And if so how did you manage pain with any existing meds. I’ve tried diclofenac but after a week it was undermining my bisoprolol and my bp was

Thinner lining on transfer day
Hello everyone, I’d really appreciate your experiences. I’ve had a FET today on a natural cycle. 7 days ago my lining was 11.4mm and today for the transfer it was 7.2mm. Has anyone else seen a drop off like this? I asked the doctor and she said it could be that the lining has compacted and that above

booked in for full hysterectomy
hey I had a lap back in October and it looks like the endo has returned so I’m booked in for a total hysterectomy! I’m really scared about it all. How are you after yours? Has it changed you at all? I’ve already started hrt and get on really well with the oestrogel especially with less adhd symptoms

Urgent help needed. Extremely severe RLS, cannot identify cause.
It's so goddamn severe that at this point, I either have the most severe case of RLS in medical history or it's something else. I rate it 9 on the severity scale. Did every possible test related to RLS (iron, vitamin D, etc) except for for transferrin saturation and serum iron because it wasn't available

iron test results help please
I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple
