Confused
I had my first appointment with an endo specialist today. I think I'm still in shock at the whole situation to be honest and am trying to sort things out in my head. I've just turned 40 and there's no history of endo in my family. I've been diagnosed with endo and adenomyosis. The endo is between

Over 50
I have been struggling withy weight for years. I started putting on weight when I started depression medication. Now I'm over 50 still battling obesity. Growing up I was very active,but that has decreased due arthritis and joint replacements. I'm starting a new year looking for support from others.

Update on...Buprenorphine seems to be failing! Help!
Well, thank you for all the replies and the wisdom which has been offered. I saw my GP yesterday and explained the situation, told him of the solutions others had found (Lotte) and then asked him what his advice was. He thought about it and offered taking Sifrol as a first solution which I told him I'd

Attended Late Effects Clinic - Answers at last
Yesterday I received the news that my two year post op checkup for Stage 3b cancer was still clear and led nicely to being seen at the clinic in Clatterbridge today. It was so nice for a specialist to be listening, explaining what the probable cause was and then offering solutions where possible.

“Old” hip hurting with PMR more than “new” hip?
Hello All. Apologies for bothering you with this but I am lucky enough to have got an appointment with the wonderful Professor Rod Hughes tomorrow and am compiling a list of things I would like to discuss with him. Hope he is well and in a good mood! One of the issues is that I had a right hip replacement

Scary visionary issues after valve replacement ….
Hi guys. I’m male, 67 and just had an aortic valve (tissue) replacement/dual bypass about 10 days ago. It’s going pretty well, a bit of expected sternum / leg pain, but just completed my first 20 min walk without getting too out if breath. Excercise is definitely good for breathing. What’s really freaking
