ongoing chronic constipation.. ‘opioid bowel & interstitial cystitis… test results!
following months of waiting I eventually paid to see a private bowel surgeon. Worth every penny. She organised tests through NHS. Won’t bore with details- but I have a dysfunctional opioid bowel ( due to severe back problems). A large rectocele & possibly a cystocele I’m having a transit study…

Common drug restores youthful function to clean up aging brains
A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice.
The finding could hold promise as a new way to fight Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and overall cognitive decline.

Feels like torn muscle at 2mg of pred
Hello forum friends, I have had PMR for 2 and a half years, I am now 53 years old and am moderately active. I have been on the journey of ‘dead slow’ tapering from 2.5mg to 2mg over the last 4 weeks. I currently feel like I have a torn muscle in the top of my right arm. I don’t think I did anything

Subchorionic Haematoma at 6 weeks
Hi all!I started having minor cramping and moderate bleeding yesterday evening, which carried on through the night. I went to A&E, they referred me to gynaecology and then the early pregnancy unit so I was able to have a scan. The scan showed a heartbeat! But it also showed a 3x3cm subchorionic haematoma

perseveration
hi following my fiancés accident in 2022, where he was diagnosed with TBI and came out of a disorder of conciousness October 2023, he has been progressing on his physical and mental capabilities. Whilst that is still ongoing, one thing that he really struggles with and is causing a barrier is his perseveration

Shoulder pain.
Hi relatively new here diagnosed October 2023 with GCA. I've tapered off my steroids now completely and am on Roactemra. Recently blooda showed low neutrophils so now take Roactemra fortnightly. Recently have had a very painful shoulder GP thinks rotor cuff. Wondering is it related in anyway to GCA

Referral to Guys/St Thomas's
had my face to face with my haemo consultant last Weds and from what it seems favourable results from my hydroxy drug prescribed dosage. The dosage now being lowered as a result. I was advised that my blood sample appointments would be now extended to once a month sampling. I disputed this, as I am

Cardiac Cath this Friday
I last updated about my new dx of POTS. Since I seem to be a “difficult” case, my cardiologist wants to do a heart cath this Friday. I have not had any chest pain but the shortness of breath is adversely affecting daily. I have had all the pulmonary tests, CT’s and functional tests. I have the lungs

Adenmyosis and Constipation
I found out recently that adenmyosis can cause bad bouts of constipation, which explains a lot for me. However all the dr’s do is plug me with laxitives and tell me to eat prunes (which I have explained doesn’t help) because (and I apologise if this is TMI) my stools aren’t hard, it’s not a fibre intake

Psyllium Husk
Hi, had another flare up yesterday, after being reasonably ok for the last 3 weeks = I've really cleaned up my diet and yesterday was the result of a day out with friends, tea and cake and a slice of quiche. So difficult to find anything I actually enjoy eating at home, let alone at a restaurant.
