Finally passed a kt/v test
Ok, so after 11 months, I finally passed my kt/v test with a score of 1.82, which my nurse said is passing for PD patients. Initially I was on 8 hours, 4 exchanges of 1800ml per night. When I failed the first test, then they moved me to 2000ml per exchange, then 10 hours of 5 exchanges of 2000ml, then

It was cancer…. But its now gone…
What a day. I had the dressing changed over the surgery site, and the surgeon appears. The test results are back… It was indeed a very rare cancer, and thankfully, it is now entirely removed. I feel like I've dodged a bullet… Everything has gone onto hold for today, but I’ve been lucky to realise

Statins/PMR
I was put on statins 4 weeks ago due to high cholesterol readings at GP surgery. A week ago, I started experiencing muscle pain across shoulders, front and back - fine if I am sitting still but achey if I move in certain ways. I have been rubbing in Uddermint cream every evening as it seems to get

Pharmacist blocking prescription
I just want to have a rant. For 30 years I have had the usual frustrations of doctors constantly trying to reduce my dose but nothing has compared to this latest scenario. I put in my usual repeat prescription request with plenty of time because pharmacy needs a week now. It was blocked so I phone the

Let’s see? Bowel perforation and GCA Flare ?
I’ve been absent for a while…Reader’s Digest Version to follow. Though I haven’t been posting, I’ve been reading for a bit, and as usual….” You raise me up,” and I’m grateful. You may recall I had shoulder replacement surgery in July, and my arm is in amazing condition considering the interruptions

Hello, I haven't checked in for a very long time because everything had been going ok.I've been on Prednisolone for 3 years this Christmas after getting diagnosed with PMR back in October 2020.

Pain still there over 5 weeks post excision surgery
People that have had excision surgery. How long after the surgery did you still have daily pelvic pain? I'm nearly 5 weeks post surgery and still getting daily pelvic pain. Would of thought this pain would have gone by now?

PIP advice
hello there. I’m looking for some thoughts regarding PIP. I will be 65 in January 24. In 2012 I had my left lung removed as a result of lung cancer. Ergo I now have 50 % less breathing capacity. I was retired early and had my pension was released. At that time I applied for DLA, and received the higher
