A story with no ending. If you don't like stories skip to "THE END" I have an ex-colleague who used to teach physiology using guided imagery. I attended one of her lectures once on the oxygenation of blood. All the students had to close their eyes and sit, (or lie down) comfortably. Then she began

Low Oxalate Diet, an explanation for why it works
More than six years ago I found that I could turn my RLS discomforts on and off by controlling the amount of oxalate in my diet. My original breakthrough in understanding came after about 5 years of closely monitoring my diet and my daily discomfort level. Many people who conscientiously follow a

Follow on from my previous post about not relying on Drs and diagnosis’s and suppressing your own endo!
So I had my follow-up brought forward. So back story in 2016 I had extensive surgery! It was my first and it was major surgery because I never even realised I had Endo! My symptoms were never cyclic, they was constant! They never waxed, nor waned. So following the sepsis I was told multiple things while

Gall Bladder Removal
Following an Ultrasound scan, it was identified that I have gallstones. I saw a surgeon yesterday who wants to take out the gall bladder. My pain is manageable at this stage and he has classed me as medium priority. My question is a simple one. Does anybody regret having the gall bladder taken out and

Silicone or saline implants?
I am 60+ and had a double mastectomy and will have reconstruction. Looking for insight between saline or silicone implants. Is one more comfortable in the body? Any problems with either? If you had to choose again, which one would you choose and why? Thank you in advance

Hi lovely people! I’m 5 weeks post mastectomy and sentinel node removal for DCIS and 2 invasive ductal cancer tumours; both hormone receptor positive, one HER2 positive and the other HER2 negative.

Improvement in ferritin levels but feel even worse.
I have struggled with low iron for some time. After being contacted on here about the possible effects of taking turmeric on iron levels I decided to stop the supplement and see if my iron levels improved. I have messed this up by eating more liver than previously because I wanted to add T3 to my liquid

Lupus and cancer
Oncologist was brilliant had done a lot of research into cancer with APS and Lupus. Opted for mastectomy to try and avoid having to have Chemo or Radiotherapy. He agreed it was better to avoid them if at all possible. Hopefully nothing shows up in Lymph nodes!

Zoladex and mirena removal - blood loss?
I wonder if anyone has any experience of this. I had two three month courses of zoladex two years ago with mirena in situ and didn't have any bleeds. My mirena at the time stopped my periods completely. They changed my mirena Feb 2020 during my most recent lap and I have had 2+ week bleeding every month
