Danazol! Help im scared
Hi, i have been prescribed Danazol for 6 months in a last ditch attempt to reduce my endo before a 5th lap. From what I have read it sounds awful and side effects sound truly horrible. Ive been on zoladex before and that wasnt pleasant but this sounds worse! Has anyone had any good results or tried this

4 days post op leaky incision
Hi everyone. Had a lap on Monday where they found endo on ovaries, pelvic wall and uterine ligaments. When I was back on the ward I noticed my stitches in the belly button cut had come undone and out so the wound was completely open. Eventually got a doctor back who closed the wound with glue. Pain wise

Leaky Lymphoedema
Hi, I have had lymphoedema in my legs for approx 20 years, it started in my right leg then about 10 years ago moved into my left leg, which has now become worse than the right leg. I have had numerous bouts of cellulitis over the years, my legs now resemble the skin of a Rhino with large golf ball size

Surgery and lymphodema
I recently had a panniculectomy done after the surgery about 18 inches opened up which left me with an open wound so I am not able to get into my lymph pod so the swelling has gotten out of control and I was wonderering if anyone had any ideas of what I could do to bring it under control. Oh the swelling

My sister's chemo to begin. Advise me on all aspects please
Finally my search for the oncologist, as suggested by Dr Sumeet, is over. I have found in Dr Lalit at AIIMS just the right and experienced person whom I can trust. My sister (44yrs) has accepted the news with great maturity. After her surgery about 2 wks back she has also been doing a lot of reading

How soon after Lap can I use exercise bike?
I've read about other activities which say start when you feel ready, but others say even if you feel ok outside, you don't know what the
wounds
are like inside. Thanks, Sara xx.

NHS medication recommendations, and minerals
I feel so much better now and the
wounds
in my mouth are healing. Are there other options for maintenance, either different ingredients or generally something less aggressive? Is it recommended at all for a so far one time attack? What is the general NHS recommendation on this?

Fretful sleep at night
My four week old little girl is doing well but at night as soon as I put her in the moses basket by the bed she fusses even if she was sound asleep before. She kicks and flails her arms, grunts, cries for short bursts of a couple of seconds and is otherwise noisy. She does this in her sleep for several

First ever laparoscopy
Hello everyone! Just found out the date for my first lap and was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of what I should take? What I should expect? And what it's like after the op? As I feel quite anxious, this is my first ever operation so I'm hoping it's not too bad! Thank you, ella xx

Just a little update and a thank you for the advice I've received.
Just a little update, since the last post I've had more hell from the GP which has lead to a formal complaint and transferring to a different GP. On a mixture of pills to dampen the pain and having to reduce hours in work. Seen the specialist who has agreed to do the TPPE surgery (and a diagnostic laparoscopy
