Not diagnosed yet
I'm 61 years old, female. I recently went for a routine PE and when my labs came back, the doctor said "we need to watch your WBC". I was surprised and decided to do my research after looking at the details of the lab report. I almost wish I hadn't, because it wasn't just my WBC that was high

Reason for constipation
Is there much research or understanding about why children and toddlers are getting constipated so much? It seems so many are being treated for constipation but I haven't seen any discussions on why this constipation is happening to try and avoid it. I understand low fibre and reduced fluid intake can

How to taper off 15mg Lansoprazole
Hi I have been on lansoprazole for about 2.5 months now and about to try come off them. I am on 15mg. I've started by taking one and then missing one the next day then taking another but I've already got acid reflux and this is only the second one I've missed. Do I need to do it slower? The docs said

Doacs v Warfarin
I have been taking warfarin since 2013 and I am now 76 years old. My warfarin monitoring shows that I am mostly within INR range set for me by the anti-coagulation team at my local hospital.

Waking up a sleeping colon
I have had this happen several times. Yesterday I had a call from a person who was going to stop by in 2 hours with their grandchild. Of course I was thrilled but also realized by house needed a big once over. I literally flew around, vacumning and washing the bathroom, etc. Lots of bending down which

Has been to Nurse and GP and finally a referral to ENT.......but the waiting list is months. Any advice would be really appreciated

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

is this hemorrhoids or should I be right to be worried
I’m a 31 year old female. I went to the bathroom yesterday and after a.. sizeable bowel movement noticed some blood in the toilet. This has happened before so I wasn’t too concerned, but I just went to the restroom again today and after I flushed the first time I thought I noticed blood. This was a normal

Yellowy /Orange Poo
Hi I am normally a constipated individual, but over the last week I have suffered twice with severe diarrhoea with extremely painful spasms. Following the first bout I didn’t go to the toilet for a week, even after taking two separate doses of Laxido. Well last night it all kicked off again - pain

What is your best tech for hearing loss?
Apart from your hearing aids what are your best/indispensable technologies for day to day living with hearing loss? Mine are my Oticon streamer which I use with my NHS hearing aids to connect with my mobile phone, iPad and TV (if you have private aids this may be built into your hearing aids). It turns

really uncomfortable
Hi, I’ve recently been suffering from some acid reflux symptoms (especially with trigger foods). I’ve noticed the acidic taste, burning sensation, nausea and oesophageal discomfort. Anyway, I pop the odd gaviscon when it’s really uncomfortable or painful or take an omeprazole. Recently I’ve been experiencing

Does anyone take pantoprazole with MtX?
During this weekend I have had a bad pain in my esophagus. I get that from time to time, probably due reflux caused by the prednisolone and PMR, as it is worse during a flare. I usually take pantoprazole a couple of days and it heals up fast (doctor's prescription). However - now I am on MtX since
