Public Health Wales has urged the country’s 440,000 smokers to quit
Obviously, the advice/suggestion is not restricted to Wales - this was just what I saw: [i]Public Health Wales has urged the country’s 440,000 smokers to quit now to reduce the risks from Covid-19 and said it has seen a rise in the number of people asking for help to stop.[/i]

Mild cerebellar atrophy
Hi My husband had a scan for suspected tia/strike after temporary
loss
of
vision
back in November 2019. The results of the MRI came back with mild cerebellar atrophy and 2 microbleeds. The stroke consultant said not to worry and try to blame alcohol as a cause although my husband doesn’t drink.

Feeling good about yourself
It would be so easy just to watch TV, eat, sleep and not even bother to shower or change clothes - yes I do it quite regularly when depressed or having a flare. I would like to wear some of my clothes I'm always saving for best and hardly ever or never get to wear. I'm 9 stone over weight and was due

Has weight loss improved your thyroid problems?
I've been reading a lot about the connection between hypothyroidism in weight gain and obesity. It's long been believed that hypothyroidism causes/contributes to obesity because of the metabolic effects of same, but there seems to be more research being done that questions that theory and now some researchers

WET AMD on a third world country
I'm pretty sure they don't know what a macular degeneration is or they think I don't have it and this is just a gradual
vision
loss
. I've tried to consult with 3 eye doctors already. Now I'm losing hope that I'll get this treated.

Diagnosis Advice
I can still see with it, and no
loss
of
vision
as such. Just find myself blinking and double taking and struggle to focus. * I also have other chronic pain issues in lower back/hips, but not sure if they relate.

Should I have the vertical sleeve bariatric surgery?
Considering Gastric sleeve surgery and I have Hashimoto's disease. Frankly I’m scared. I have read so many of your posts and it sounds like you all would have never done the surgery. I am 56 and weigh 293. Diagnosed with hypoThyroidism when I was 12. I hurt all the time and no diet seems to work. I’m

Stem Cell Research Webinar
The project started when researchers wanted to see if they could improve
vision
for people with sudden severe visual
loss
caused by wet AMD by replacing the diseased cells at the back of the patients’ affected eye using a stem cell-based treatment.

Journey home
Yesterday I was in London with my daughter who was having a spinal fusion. I had started my day very early as you do to get her checked in-she went to Theatre lunchtime so it was a long morning. Waited 5 hrs for her to return-they had probs controlling her pain 😢 Left her at 8pm to try to miss rush

Living with Osteo
Hi, I have lived 30-odd years since my diagnosis and think I’ve been lucky in being able to avoid spinal fusion back then. Suddenly have developed crumbling jaw which means my teeth have started falling out!! My dentist has not mentioned anything about a connection but until I see her later this week

Early Retirement from Work.
Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

Hi 👋 I am a mother of 7 amazing children and I recently was diagnosed with NAFLD inflammation and Nash stage 2 and she said 90% damage, so yes I’m super scared to die, I’ve cried non stop since 2/4/2020 when she read my biopsy to me I wish I would have found out sooner. Almost immediately I changed

New and have no clue!
I’ve also been struggling with
vision
loss
and have just been prescribed prism lenses due to double
vision
. Your thoughts please? Should I insist on a referral to an endo? I just want to feel normal! Thanks, any advice much appreciated.

Weight gain due to being over medicated?
Is it possible to gain weight when over medicated? I have been hypo since my TT, and I haven’t gained any weight even when my TSH was 27, but as soon as I became “normal” and my TSH came down to 0.17 I started gaining weight and after being suppressed for 4 months I gained 10kg, even though I haven’t
