Pale skin during flare ups
Does anyone else get a really washed out, pale almost grey skin during flare ups? My Mum often comments on me looking very pale but I caught sight of myself in the mirror yesterday and my eyes were dark underneath (despite having had a long nap), skin so pale with an almost greenish grey tint. Not very

Post surgery recovery
Hello all I am 2 weeks post interval debulking surgery and physically & emotionally up & down. Physically I feel extremely bloated much of the time, like I could literally split open. My appetite has reduced massively although I am trying to eat some healthy foods when I can. With the help of senna

Season Greetings
Happy Christmas Everyone.It's 3 months today since my bypass. I'm still on a slow road to recovery, wondering when I will feel normal! I have more pain in my sternum now than ever and I have just been referred to the breast clinic as I have swelling and a bump on the left boob! My GP says it could be

Is nmCRPC potentially curable?
I would appreciate any input on this. I searched the internet and found this article from Fred Saad: Treatment of nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: focus on second-generation androgen receptor inhibitors https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-020-00310-3 I couldn't find anything

Five weeks post Op
I am slowly feeling better, pain in the chest and discomfort in the back,left rib and sternum is still there but I know it will all fuse back together soon. I sometimes feel in my own world but present if you get what I mean. The one thing I have found difficult is the mood swings, I push myself to

Seasons Greetings from MichaelJH
A few of you will have noticed that I have not been active for a while. Three medical issues have dominated my life\: i) Macerated wounds on my right (only) foot. After a change of protocol those on the leg and heel healed whilst those around the forefoot and toes improved. Unfortuneately a few weeks

Anniversary of varices bleed
Up until 23rd December 2022 I thought I was quite well and healthy and rarely needed to visit our GP. Out of the blue on the 23rd December 2022, I started to vomit up approx. 3 - 4 pints of blood, as you can imagine my wife and I were in shock from the whole episode. Following an emergency admission

I started taking stool softeners (colace) and after a week nothing. I did a Fleet enema and finally 9 days after surgery I had a BM and it was

Don't want to go back on the pill/more surgeries! Deep infiltrating endo on bowel and uterine polyp removed recently for heavy bleeding.
Hello fellow endo warriors. I have a dilemma. I really don't want to go back on the bcp after being on it for 15 years as it has not been effective for my deep infiltrating endo on my bowel. My ultimate goal is to heal endo at the core using non-hormonal & surgery approach. Not just a bandaid solution

Has anyone here discovered they have endometriosis/and or adenomyosis at a later stage in life? Just found out at 50!
Right now I am sad and very angry. I have been under my local gynae and gastroenterology departments for over 20 years. That’s 20+ years of endless gastro tests for my ongoing digestive issues (I’ve had 2 colonoscopies, 2 gastroscopes, blood tests, fit tests, a scan for bile acid malabsorption). During

Interesting visit with Rheumy - fat not edema!
I had a very interesting visit at the Rheumy e few days ago. We discussed MtX that I have started, and I have very good effect now after 4½ month, so he will increase from 20 mg to 25, and start decreasing prednisolone. I am on 12,5 mg now so down to 10 mg, and then very slowly 1,25 mg every 6 weeks.

Failed Endometrial Ablation: Prostap
Hi folks, Here goes, I had an ablation done but I’ve never had endometriosis - long story - it’s failed and I’m due to have the Prostap injection. I’m worried about weight gain a developing hashimoto’s, I’m paralysed and osteoporosis is also a worry. I’m very high risk for hysterectomy surgery, so

post abdominal surgery and dizziness
hi guys. 10 days ago I had a laparotomy which is open abdominal surgery to remove a huge cyst and my left ovary/fallopian tube. The surgery went well with no complications and I was discharged 3 days later. On discharge I was very dizzy walking about for the first time which I get is normal. Since then

Does The Thyroid Affect Potassium Levels?
Hi! A bit of a random question but I’ve recently had some bloods taken by my GP surgery and my potassium levels have come back a little low (3.2 range 3.5-5.3) My TSH is 3.06 (range 0.27-4.20), which I think is a little too high although in range, so it got me thinking if there is a link at all between

How to get help when my results are in range?
Hello all I have posted before and nothing has changed much. I had some recent tests via my GP and the surgery is on my case as my cholesterol is quite high (7) and there are mutterings about statins which I have refused, I have had very bad hair loss in the past 2 years with no obvious cause. I have

How to wean off omeprazole
I’ve just had some blood tests done prior to some surgery and the results show there may be a problem with vitamin B12 levels. Hmm, I take 20mg omeprazole daily, in capsule form. Anyone any idea of the best way to come off this? I believe I’ll have to gradually wean off it?

Warfarin not raising inr....why?
I've been taking warfarin for 4 weeks trying to get to inr level between 2-3. Even though I'm taking higher dose 8mg my INR is staying at 1.3. I thought by 4 weeks it would have gone up on that dose. It's a pain because I got to have bloods taken every 3 days to see if it goes up. I'm not taking any

Shingles Vaccine Update
Well I never!! I woke to a text message from our GP's surgery to say that I am eligible for a shingles vaccination with a link to book in with a nurse. My GP's obviously looked up the guidelines & though better of her decision! I'm just hoping that after the fight to get it I don't have any adverse
