Knee replacement, wound and shingles , what a month!
I had a Total Knee Replacement on 10/7 and it went really well, or so I thought. I ended up getting a very deep wound were my incision is and going to to wound clinic every week. Then I got shingles even though I am vaccinated! It's been very interesting. My next Ocrevus infusion is in less than

I had a fifth PET/CT scan this past May to check on any possible recurring breast cancer. All that the oncologist called and said was I had a right kidney stone that could possibly be blocking my kidney. (Turns out it was in my ureter and must’ve passed itself). I asked what else and he said that was

Hi, like many folk, I’m on the waiting list for a total hysterectomy. Trying to do something practical, I’m preparing for the recovery. Can anyone recommended good clothing options for when I return from hospital please? I’ve read that dungarees are useful, did anyone wear those post op and what brand

Iron decreased after supplementation?!
After finding my ferritin levels were low as part of a full iron panel from Thriva in October (and on advice from my GP once she found out I am vegetarian), I started supplementing with liquid iron (15mg per day). After re-testing my iron panel 5 weeks later several of the results have got quite a bit

Waiting for a biopsy...
Hello ladies, I am really sorry this is going to be a long post - so apologies! I am 52 years old, had ovary & tube removed at 28 due to a twisted cyst, then went through menopause 2 years later. In last few years I have had a massive fibroid growing outside my womb which meant I had a total hysterectomy

Has anyone taking Celebrex with Elquis together?
I am fixing to have a total Knee Replacement. My Otho Doctor wants me to take Celebrex. I take Elquis for AF. Has anyone had to do this? I have a big fear of taking it together.

Blood results- thyroid and iron levels.
Hi all, I've had my blood test results back today. I had stopped the vitamins that you're meant to stop before testing but unfortunately I forgot to not take my Thyroxine! Yeah I know! So the blood was drawn at 12 noon, I had taken my Thyroxine at 11am, would that be a short enough space of time

Missed period, increased pain?
Hi everyone, I'm having a bad month, honestly saw it coming because last month I had only a 2 day period and then 9 days of spotting plus some spotting at ovulation. That doesn't usually happen unless I'm going to miss a period the month after or I'm pregnant. Just to clarify, I'm 100000000% not pregnant
