montelukast
hi my daughter started taking Montelukast at the age of 4. She is now nearly 6. Over the last 6 months or so (possibly when she started it but not 100% sure) she’s become really negative and aggressive. I know this can be a side effect. But could side affects randomly start this far into taking the

Facial palsy recovery
Hi all, I had my AN surgery in 2018 and after that I did physio for a while for the facial palsy. They also used to give me Botox injection on my chin to tighten it, but I had reaction due to Botox so they stopped. After a year or so I also stopped doing physio as my face started looking a little better

AVR surgery tomorrow!
Hoping and praying that my surgery doesn’t get cancelled again. I’m second on the list tomorrow at midday. Absolutely terrified. Wish me luck!

tender breasts?
good evening! This is a strange one I think. Just wondered if anyone could explain or maybe have had experience of this. I will go to the Doctor obviously. I started Prednisolone in early October 15 mg and am currently on 9.5. Golfing, gardening, decorating - have had very few side effects - and felt

Stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation?
I’ve been on clopidogrel (Plavix) for one year after a drug eluting stent was placed in my significantly blocked LAD (aka widow maker artery) 2/23. I’m wondering if the following is true or not, and what your experience has been with stopping clopidogrel safely—abruptly or gradual cessation? Because

Dental Issues with Finesteride
I am 7 years post full gland HIFU surgery. Quality of life remains good. I've been off ADT all this time. PSA has been slowly rising and hit 2.8. My urologist put me on finesteride. It prevents the conversion of T to DHT. Five weeks after starting on it I experienced an onslaught of dental problems.

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.

Pain relief. How do advocate for myself?
Hello lovely people. Wishing you a peaceful pain free day.I need some support on how to advocate for myself as I'm pretty useless. I'm currently on the waiting list for a total hysterectomy for stage 4 and will be my 4th op. I've been on strong opioid pain meds for 11 years using them to varying degrees

A clearer picture
I saw the surgeon yesterday. The biopsy confirmed my breast cancer diagnosis. I had to push for information as the pathology results are incomplete.So now I know I have a stage 2 invasive carcinoma, hormone positive. Cancer type to follow. I've been referred for an MRI. I'll have a follow up to discuss

Fed up and so exhausted 😩
I am beyond done with my pain condition. I am not sleeping well so constantly exhausted. Add to that my pain meds hardly even work anymore. I know that I have " better" days but they are becoming fewer. Its hard to feel anything other than despair at the moment 😪. If I ring the pain management team
