MRI for Endometriosis - MRI machine process
Hi, it's not solely regarding Endo as such but more so the MRI side of things. I had an MRI with contrast yesterday - great experience (as far as medical and being injected goes) but I keep thinking about something more and more ... The scan started and the team then took me back out and said that metal

5mg for flair…..?
I’ve now been on 5mg for 4 days and I definitely am less stiff and the pain is not as bad in my legs and back … my question is… how long should I stay on this dose before considering to increase to 6 if it doesn’t continue to improve? I’ve given up trying to ask the gp .. it’s impossible to get through

Hi all, Further tales of my disasters with BP meds. Currently we are trying the above combination to try and lower BP but minimise side effects. Readings are not great but maybe acceptable however still suffering headaches and now have diarrhea. I have occasional IBS but usually this causes constipation

New diagnosis for Ascending Aortic Aneurysm help please
Hi, feeling a little deflated. Had my first annual surveillance CT scan with contrast in relation to the kidney cancer I had. I had a partial nephrectomy last Feb and all is well. No further indication of any spread. Thankfully it was a low grade small tumour but I am still considered high risk.When

Have you experience of Chemotherapy and underactive thyroid?
I have recently completed chemo following surgery for a bowel tumour. I was wondering if anyone has experience of chemotherapy and underactive thyroid? I have continued to take 75 T4 and 20 T3. It’s difficult to know if the fatigue / sleep problems are to do with the thyroid or chemo. many thanks.

Angry!
Hi there! I’m writing for support because I’m angry. I fell down the steps and broke my foot in December. I needed immediate surgery and have been recovering slowly, but surely. My sister called me to pick a fight and ended up telling me to go fall down stairs again and to break my other foot. She said

FUMING, Bloody GP's
posting as otherwise I will wind up having a hissy fit. Not really a thyroid issue but just shows how poor the system is. Had a smear December 14th, had had some niggling worries so thought right sort it out. Phoned GP's to ask for signposting to appropriate service. I was told we'll book you in

CP and Endometriosis?
When I was in my 20's, I was dealing with what I thought were ovarian cysts, and pain on my right side. I had a laparoscopy, and I was told I had scar tissue from "a previous surgery", only I'd never had surgery! Turns out it was endometriosis, which causes scar tissue. In my case, the tissue caused
