A lightbulb moment
I am currently taking 10mg immediate release Shortec Oxycodone at 6pm, 10pm and again when I need to during the early hours. I manage to get broken sleep which usually equates to 4 hours, which is better than I have had in the past. This works reasonably well, however, from early afternoon my arms

My IBS Team Sheet – 2. Haemorrhoids (How I manage)
I think that having experienced having Haemorrhoids about six years ago that led me to be diagnosed with IBS, the relationship between IBS and Haemorrhoids could be a bit of a Red Herring! To be fair, I have experienced having haemorrhoids once since my first diagnosis, but now that I exercise regular

anticoagulants-or not..
I have read a number of articles which I think say that the protocol for when to add to the CHaDs s score for prescribing anticoagulants with AF was based on patients who were very obviously symptomatic whereas many newer patients have fewer symptoms and discover AF through smart watches / other devices

Sitting is a pain 😖
Does anyone experience anal/rectal discomfort when sitting on hard surfaces? I feel it comes and goes. I'm female and don't have hemorrhoids What have doctors told you? Have you been diagnosed with anything? Has anything helped?

Hydroxycarbamide and lungs
I have been on hydroxycarbamide for nearly 9 years with no serious problems, but now I am getting slight breathlessness. I was surprised to read that this medicine can cause interstitial lung disease such as pulmonary fibrosis. I don’t remember it being mentioned on the forum. Of course some diseases

Warfarin
For all those who have been happily on warfarin for years with well-managed INR yet are still being badgered by their GP to change to a DOAC with stories of reduced bleeding risk, this study should set your mind at rest that there is no reason to change whatsoever. 5 years ago my father reluctantly

Multiple periods while on the PO pill
Hey everyone! I've been on Desogestrel (progesterone only pill) for about 5 weeks now to try and control my pain and bleeding while I wait for my excision surgery. I've had a lot of spotting but yesterday I came on a very heavy period only 8 days after finishing my last period and I'm wondering if

Just diagnosed with 4.0 cm aneurysm of ascending aorta and severe calcification
Hi Friends I cannot express how shocked and dismayed I am finding out that I have severe calcification of my aorta and a 4.0 cm aneurysm. I have read that the aneurysm can be monitored yearly with imaging but there is nothing that can be done for the calcification. In the past 3 years, I have had

Interesting Article (please read)
came across this article today and would like to know your thoughts: i was swayed by flashy advertising in the late 1990s featuring medical stars like Professor Lord Winston, who convinced me that omega-3 fish oil supplements were essential for my brain and my heart. Fast forward to today, and

Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome/disease. It was picked up via blood tests. I'm waiting to have a liver scan but the GP hasn't come up with any other plan. My main question at the minute is does anyone suffer with itching. Its not put down as one of the main symptoms but it's

DOAC - changes
Some time ago, I started Rivaroxaban but stopped due to side effects. Was switched to Apixaban but had more (different) side effects from that. My GP was very helpful and suggested Edoxaban. It appears that the choice of DOAC is as much random rather than individually considered for the patient! At

Cannabidiol and anti coagulants

Should I stick?
I've was diagnosed with AF about eleven years ago and it's managed with Bisoprolol and Rivaroxaban and save feeling of breathlessness sometimes, especially when bending down, my AF is asymptomatic but permanent. Since moving from Warfarin about seven years ago I rarely think about it as a condition.

white capsules vs pink/green capsules Hydroxycarbamide
Hi all Have any of you had the plain white capsules of Hydroxycarbamide instead of the Pink/Green capsules ? I’ve been taking the pink/green capsules made by Bristol Myers Squibb for several years with increased doses from time to time. Earlier this year my dose was increased to 3x500mg Friday Saturday
