Monitoring
My husband was diagnosed with liver cirrhosis in 2019 when he saw a consultant. They asked for annual ultrasound and gastroscopy and gave him annual appointments. Due to Covid these were then done over the phone in 2020 and 2021. In 2021 they said the next appointment would be 2023 as he was still drinking

Swallowing problems
Hi Shaza, I’ve lived with this choking feeling for many years now together with extreme fibromyalgia. I’m sorry to hear you are having such trouble & wld suggest eating small meals more often than usual. I use Gaviscon but also prescribed Omeprazole both of which helps. I had a gastroscopy recently &

Odd pressure pain when sitting down or laying down on back!.
Can anyone else identity with this odd pain and discomfort.. its low down in belly all over like a heavy pressure feeling near to the surface. but no pain when I press in any part of the gut. Despite CT scans and colonoscopy/gastroscopy no explanation apart from some diverticulitis. Weight has fluctuated

colonoscopy update today
well the prep was easy and even the taste wasn’t too bad although I know there are different types. Hunger sparked a migraine this morning which prompted vertigo but took meds as permitted. BP low on arrival but had sedation and gas and air as felt I didn’t need to suffer more than I had too and the

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

colonoscopy query
I’m scheduled to endure a colonoscopy on 16th January. We are booked on a flight to Thailand on 1st February (14 hours) . Guidelines say two weeks should pass before flight so in theory ok. However this is a trip of a lifetime for us, much delayed and all booked before this cancer worry. I’ve no idea

it’s not all asthma
I have only been officially asthmatic since 2017. I was diagnosed with cough variant asthma During that time I have had many courses of prednisolone and had a PPI added for acid reflux. This medication has been increased and my asthma medication added to and changed. In October I saw a locum GP as

Another update….high platelets….
Just a quick recap and an update on my latest appointment…. I have been under the care of an Haematologist for two years now, referred by my GP for consistently high platelet counts found during routine blood tests. Platelets usually around 565, highest being 622. I have no symptoms although I do also

Metaplasia
Hi, does anyone know if there are 2 types of Metaplasia. I have read somewhere can't remember where that there are. One is complete the 2nd incomplete and it said the findings at Gastroscopy should be recorded. I asked the Gastro consultant and he was not aware of it.

Macrophage Activation syndrome anyone ?
I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Stills Disease (rheumatoid) aged 17 in 1979. Medication free by my mid 20s expect pain relief. I’m 61 now and have been unwell this year possibly exacerbated by grief and stress following three family deaths in three months early this year. Telephone consultations

Missing Benepali this wee
Following a gastroscopy a few weeks ago I ended up with a cold, then a sore throat, followed by a flare up of my Sjögren’d’s. I had a 2 hour emergency appointment with an Opthalmologist who scanned my eyes and was brilliant. She gave me different eye drops and is changing the lenses in my glasses.) Now

Sharing here because I can't share open in "real life" and need a bit of an outlet. Also hoping that maybe this will help someone else. One year ago today, I came home from an evening out to discover my husband bent double with excruciating pain. At that time he had drunk heavily most nights for 20 years

varices
I would like to thank all the people who replied the variety of experiences made me do more research and I found that Carvedilol and omeprazole are just as effective as banding, however I will ask for a further Gastroscopy in a year or two. As I’ve had a serious bleed before probably over reacted. Once

varices grade 2
My consultant physician did a surveillance Gastroscopy which showed 2 varices grade 2, as I was taking Carvedilol twice daily he has decided no further action is required. Having had a burst varice in the past which put me in hospital for a week. I am confused to why he’s decided not to band them surely

Awful chronic nausea
I have had PMR for over 11years and still on 11mgs. I have never been pain free. This morning I had a gastroscopy because I have been suffering worsening nausea over the last 18 months or so. At first I didn’t realise it was all connected because it came and went. Now it is daily and has been making
