Wrist Fusion
Hello Everybody I have had RA for over twenty years now, although initially it seemed to be held in control with the use of DMARDS, including Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide and Etanercept, all of these had to be discontinued because of side effects i.e, infections and low platelets/thrombocytopenia

Increase Pred. before hip surgery?
I'm having my second hip replacement this coming Saturday and wondering whether to increase Pred dose prior to it. I'm on 5mg (stayed there since May when I had the other hip done). I didn't increase it last time just took 5mg the morning of op and discussed hydrocortisone support with the anaesthetist

running after hip replacement
Nearly nine months after a total hip replacement and I just went for my first gentle jog. I dropped back to week 4 of the programme, so two three minute and two five minute runs. It went OK. It is really encouraging that even after a long break you do not go back to square one in running ability. Does

Bisoprolol
hi I’ve been on Bisoprolol fumerate 1.25mg for a few months for a slight irregularity that was seen on a 24 hour heart monitor. My blood pressure is on the low side but since my valve replacement I have symptoms. The beta is making those symptoms a little worse. I will ask my specialist but was wondering

Newly diagnosed with osteoperosis
Good evening, I have recently been diagnosed with osteoperosis and have been advised that it is likely that my GP will do further tests (Parathyroid being one) then either offer me HRT or Alendronic acid, however I understand that if this is all caused by my parathyroid then no treatment is possible

Menopause and HRT
it’s just after 3am on Christmas night and I’m lying in bed wide awake knowing that something needs to change. My gynae has ruled HRT out for me as the endo used to be so aggressive, particularly in terms of ovarian cysts and she fears that feeding it estrogen will reawaken the beast. When I naively

RLS Meds & Post-Surgical complications
I had a knee replacement a year ago. It went well, except my doctor took me off my Tramadol, 100 mg/3 per day, while keeping me on my 100 mg, 3x/day Pregabalin—it works well together. Instead he had me on 5 mg of Oxycodone every 4 hours. He thought the Oxycodone would an effective substitute for the

Hi everyone. I am looking to hear from anyone with A Fib who has had a hip replacement operation. Did you have any problems, were there any concerns about doing the operation from the doctors? Please let me know of your experience. Thank you.

Not sure what to do next?
Hi Everyone Looking for some advice please 🙂 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's in 2018 and had all the usual symptoms, anxiety, hair loss, insomnia, mild OCD. Endo consultant said my TSH should be targeted at 1, eventually stabilised with 125mcg levothyroxine. All was going well until about 12 months

Experience at Papworth and Barts

He mentioned Papworth and Bart’s, does anyone have any experience in either of these two for heart surgery? He said Bart’s might have a shorter
