T4 Reduction to increase TSH
In January I was taking 150 T4 daily and 2x5mg T3, my bloods were T4=18.1 (9-19) T3 4.98 (2.6-5.7) TSH <0.03(0.35-4.94). I have been taking T3 since Oct 2019 because I felt so ill, tired, hair loss, dry skin, muscle and joint problems. With the help of much advice on here I started taking supplements

Major surgery and a Vasovagal event
I’ve been taking 5mg pred for a while. Reduced to 4.5 and after a few weeks began to feel unwell. I told my doctor who said go back on to 5mg. I then went into hospital last week. I had gluteal reconstructive surgery. The anaesthetist suggested I should increase my pred. So I did the sick day rule and

Surgery Today!
I’m having spinal surgery today in my neck. So glad it’s finally happening but rather nervous too. I have cervical stenosis and myelopathy so I’m hoping this operation will stop the progression of spinal cord damage 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Has anyone else had this happen. Not sure if it’s RA related or not.

Small hernia
I have Stage 3 low grade ovarian cancer and had debulking surgery 18 months ago. I got over the surgery very quickly and have been very lucky with no recurrence so far. Yesterday I saw my Oncologist who said she had found a small hernia but I should carry on as normal but avoid heavy lifting. I’m

cataract surgery and prednisolone dose
This morning I had my eyes tested. This time last year I was told I had the beginnings of a cataract in my left eye, due to prednisolone. Today I was told that, thanks to prednisolone, the cataract is now ready for surgery. I said I didn't want it yet, because I am trying to get my prednisolone dose

Bevacizumab v Niraparib
I've had chemo/debulking surgery/ chemo, and have just come to the end of the post surgery chemo. I've been told all along that I will continue with Bevacizumab as a maintenance treatment (I've had 3 rounds of it alongside chemo, 2 before the surgery and 1 after). I caught COVID towards the end of

Bowel or endometrioma pain?
Hi I'm hoping someone can shed a bit of light on my pain. I have endo in lots of places in POD on ligaments and my bowel.I also have a 5cm endometrioma. I am down for surgery for hysterectomy as I have adenomyosis and endo extraction. I've opted out of a bowel resection as the waiting list is longer

First Esophageal Cancer & now Gastric Cancer
Hi to all, I am a 14 year survivor of an Ivor-Lewis Open Esophagectomy. Unfortunately, after many months of throwing up and being unable to keep anything down, several EGD's, an EUS, a CT scan and then the one that we all know means business -- the Pet Scan. I was delivered the news that I now have

stockists
Does anyone know the best stockists for bras for people who have had surgery and have lymphoedema in one or both arms. I find if I have a good fitting bra it moves the fluid along and arms fit better in my clothing.

Open Heart Surgery Groups
Hi there. I live in Brighton and I recently had open heart surgery (at The Royal Brompton in London) Does anyone know of any support groups for people who have been through similar surgery. I am in my 40s but would love to have people to chat to of any age who have been through the same thing. Thank

Acalabrutinib- stopping before surgery and possible side effects.
I have more skin cancer. I’ve been on Acalabrutinib for a year. I believe I will have to stop taking it for a few days before and after surgery. Are there any side effects when stopping for that brief period? Thanks!

Half mg tablets
Just a short post. After a very long time cutting my one mg tablets in half I was telephoned by my surgery yesterday asking why I didn’t request half mg Pred? My rheumatologist had contacted the surgery to ask them to supply me with them. So, for those who struggle with all that fiddling about you

Post surgery
Hello. I am 3 weeks after open heart surgery to repair my mitral valve. I am still wearing compression socks but for the last 3 days one of my ankles has been swallen. Is this normal weeks after surgery? Getting a GP appointment is almost impossible so wanted to know if anyone else experienced this.

When should chemo restart post interval debulking surgery?
Hello ladies I am almost 5 weeks post surgery now and my consultant is happy to restart me on chemo now. Just wondered what experiences others have had in terms of coping with the ongoing recovery & chemo side effects. Thank you 🤗
