Dad’s iron studies
Hello all My dad has just collected his latest iron studies prior to call from GP at some point today. Would you mind taking a look and interpreting please. Have tried to use the Polish calculator to work out percentages but there’s an error and I can’t use it. 23/11/22 CRP <4 (0 - 9) Ferritin

Third episode of persistent AF in 6 months
I had a successful cardioversion on Christmas eve and then another one just 4 weeks ago. Gutted because I went into persistent AF again yesterday. I take Edoxaban and have tried to take Flecainide but it makes me dizzy and very sick. I tried the "pill in pocket " yesterday but it did not work.

Bowel endometriosis, 11 years post total hysterectomy
Hello everyone, hoping to reach out. I had a total hysterectomy 11 years ago conserving my ovaries. Unfortunately my most recent mri has shown DIE present in my bowel. I am waiting to be discussed at a multi disciplinary team meeting for surgery, which looks to probably be a bowel resection & removal

Pacemaker risky
I wonder if anyone else out there has had a double mastectomy? I qualify for a pacemaker (ef 38) but my Cardiologist thinks it’s a bit dodgy as I have no lymph glands under my arms now. The risk is infection. Since I haven’t seen my Cardiologist for 3 years because of Covid I suppose he can’t be too

Ovarian Remnant Syndrome
Ovarian remnant syndrome is a relatively rare condition if taking the female population as a whole and occurs when remnants of ovarian tissue are left behind after the ovaries are removed (oophorectomy). But the primary risk factor is oophorectomy in those with endo, specifically severe endo, where the

Post microTESE wait
Hi everyone, I’m about to join you all on this rollercoaster (or perhaps I already have) - my husband and I are pursuing fertility treatment where we live in France and are at the point where he has had a microTESE for sperm extraction. We managed to get 6 straws which I am pleased with considering

Best HRT options after total hysterectomy
Hi, hope you’re all having a good day 🤗 After having a total hysterectomy and ovaries removed, I’ve been on Tibalone for a few years now, it seemed to be working, I wasn’t having too many menopause symptoms, but for the last 6 months it has got so bad, I have no energy, low mood, really bad brain fog

Advice on Results Please
Hello, I've been trying to find my sweet spot since starting HRT and discovering I was undermedicated. I've just had my latest test results back although I keep having issues with the blood samples for Medichecks so some tests have been redone and other are missing. Anyone else have issues with this
