Having had a vasectomy figure in, if at all, in fighting PC?
My latest MO mentioned in passing that having had a vasectomy was a favorable thing. Had mine about 50 years ago. Could that explain why PC didn't hit me until last year when I was 82?

Surgical Menopause - Estradiol gel dose???
Hi all, Anyone who takes estradiol gel for menopause, please may I ask how many pumps you apply each day? I had a total hysterectomy a year ago (everything removed including tubes ovaries cervix) which of course meant I started surgical menopause straight away. After 6 weeks I was prescribed Estradiol

Carrying on with Art with PD?
This is my husbands latest project. All his own drawings which he loves doing, now adding colour. Making a slide show took some doing. It’s like meditation for him and is very absorbing. He’s managed to do this all whilst looking after me as well, I’ve just had a second total knee replacement! He

After effects of Prostap, the menopause or codeine withdrawal? 🤦🏼♀️
Hi everyone, I’m struggling to work out what’s going on with my symptoms as they seem to be possible for all of the above! I had a total hysterectomy (kept my ovaries) on 13th March, my last Prostap injection two weeks before that and I’m working my way off 240mg of codeine. I get the worst hot sweats

Post surgical nerve pain issues?
I'm wondering if anyone has had issues with nerve pain following mastectomy surgery? I had a bilateral mastectomy 4 month ago had really bad nerve pain after the surgical drugs wore off. After 6 weeks I had a nerve block done. It really helped for quite a while but now I am having issues - tightness

Gall bladder removal
I saw a consultant today who said that I needed my gall bladder removed, however I was at greater risk because of having pbc. He explained that there is a risk with post operative bile duct leaks. Has anyone else heard of this?

I have ataxia (sca 6), Sjogrens, osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis. Wasn’t sure where to post this question but decided to post under Ataxia. I had a total knee replacement two and a half years ago.

Still in the process of finding out the right dosage...
Hello, I would like to have your opinion on these results and if there is something I can do better. At the time of the blood test, I was on 40 T3 and 50 T4. I didn't take any thyroid hormone 24h before the test. My doctor is not happy at all with my TSH being so suppressed and now we agreed on me being

Anybody had multiple surgeries to remove endo, then total hysterectomy?
I'm trying to get some advice from any ladies who have had multiple laparoscopies to remove endometriosis and then ended up eventually having a total hysterectomy (uterus + ovaries removed). How did you decide when it was enough and then decide to have the hysterectomy? At what age did you decide on

Combining medications/effects post surgery/meds not as effective
Hello, in the last month the Temgesic has not been as effective in controlling my RLS. This could be due to one month ago undergoing surgery. I was told just before xmas that I had breast cancer. On 3 Feb 2021 I had bilateral mastectomy surgery. My body was exposed to various GA medications plus after
