Anticipated endo appointment š¤¦āāļø
Hi everyone ā¤ļø As some members will know I posted a few days ago that my gp will not do my repeat prescription for my T3 until I see an endocrinologist, for which she is doing the referral. As I told her I've got around 7 possibly 8 days of T3 left. Obviously I'm going to need to contact the surgery

Can surgery be refused due to a high BMI?
Hi everyone Iām on the waiting list for a gyno appointment to check for endo. Iāve read on here that sometimes MRI scans donāt show endo and youāve got to have a larp. Am I right in thinking they wonāt do a larp unless youāre in the healthy category for weight on the NHS BMI scale? I eat well but

Looking for advice please!!
Hello, I have finally seen a gynaecologist about years of heavy painful periods who has said there may be a possibility of endometriosis and has listed me for a laparoscopy. I am at the stage in life where I am not quite ready to start the journey of trying to get pregnant but would like to start this

Laparotomy, Radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
I had a major surgery about 8 months ago but the pain around my stomach hasn't gone away. My blood tests and CT scan results are normal.They mentioned that have adhesions which make me in pain all day all night, so I only rely on the pain reliefs.

Lobectomy for bronchiectasis
Hi,I was wondering if anyone has had a lobectomy for bronchiectasis and were cured or at least felt a lot better? I had an open lobectomy on 1st September but that was because there was a 5cm mass in my right lower lobe and I had been coughing up blood in my sputum since December 25th 2022. From September

recovering adrenals.
Iāve recently settled on taking 5mg Pred for over a month, and now feel good. For the last few months Iāve had gradual weight loss, diarrhoea and fatigue. The diarrhoea has stopped so has the weight loss and only feel the need to sleep once for an hour or so during the day. Typical adrenal insufficiency

Going Private
I can't wait any longer so I've decided to go private and I've booked to see a consultant next week. I can't get my head around the fact I can see the same consultant I have to wait a year for on the NHS next week if I pay Ā£200. I'm 50, currently on continuous provera and estrogen and I'm bleeding heavily

Isnāt this so true?
In todayās newspaperā¦ā¦.Not getting better During the pandemic, virtually every GP surgery in the land closed its doors as people were told to stay away from the NHS. The reason was purportedly to stop the hospitals overflowing but it effectively put the entire system out of reach for those who did not

contraceptives after lap
I had a laparoscopy around eight weeks ago. The surgeons removed stage 4 endo from various organs including the bowel and got rid of some large ovarian cysts as well. They said after the surgery that they āgot it allā. Theyāve recommended I have a coil or go on the pill after surgery to stop the endo

Diaphragm hernia surgery
Hello everybody, I had the Ivor Lewis surgery 2017. In 2019 I had emergency surgery due to an incarcerated gangrene transverse colon. The diaphragm hernia was fixed with sutures, Keyhole. Now I have another ruptured diaphragm. No accident or fall. Did anyone here had more than one hernia? Could you

ProAct success
I had RP back in 2018 successfully but was left with mild incontinence as a result. I researched different options to address my problem and eventually pursued ProAct therapy which involves the insertion of tiny balloons up to the bladder neck sphincter and are inflated to the proper pressure to close

Eye brow hair loss
Hi, a few days ago I posted my story on this forum. Today I would like to focus on one problem in particular, eye brow hair loss. I always had rather thin and far from perfect eye brows, but since I had my surgery it got much worse. I feel very bad and embarrassed about it š I understand that

walking around for three hours
my urogynaecologist has put me on 10 mg amitriptyline every night. I started it yesterday. I was staggering around for three hours. My left leg and foot were jumping with rls. I am also on 900 mg of gabapenguin and 20 mg of fluoxetine. I believe the fluoxetine and amitriptyline are making my rls much
