Sore stomach on apixaban
I’ve been on apixaban for just over 2 months and have 3 weeks to go, then 4 weeks off before a d dimer blood test. I’ve had awful stomach cramps for a couple of weeks, blood in stools and leaking watery blood like I’m wetting myself (lovely picture!). The doctor is sending me for the fast track bladder

Sensitive post: BFP after 7th transfer but Prednisolone immediately stopped
Hi, yesterday I had the news I have been waiting for, finally a BFP after my 7th transfer (my first BFP in almost 3 years which ended in miscarriage). Whilst I am over the moon, I am also filled with fear. I have no more BETA tests booked in so next step is viability scan in 3 weeks. This morning I

My Gabapentin Dilemma
Help! I need some advice regarding my Gabapentin treatments. This is my first post so I hope I don’t ramble too much. I’m over 70 years old with RLS for over 30-40 years. Fortunately I don’t have RLS attacks during the day but have them almost every night after I fall asleep. On high doses of Gabapentin

Advice Please, I am in a terrible state.

Positive results after five months
I hope it’s ok that I share my good news? I finally went to the hospital to a nephrologist - 6 months after realizing I had CKD stage 3.. my eGFR was about 50-53. No other symptoms.. My doctor showed me my test results that went way back - and they showed above normal creatinine and below normal eGFR

help please :(
I have had symptoms of a UTI since 31st October. I had Nitrofuration twice at the start of all this and things started to settle until I had a bath. I was then given 7 days of trimethoprim- I felt no real difference with this. Dipstick tests never really show infection so 3 urines have been sent to lab

Newbie trying to get off Pram
I've been on 2x 0.088 for a while. Compared to what I've been reading on the forum it sounds a low dose....I think.I started augmenting so managed to get Gaba from GP the other day. GP said I could come straight off Pram but I've taken 1 x 0.088 tonight with 300mg gaba. It's 02.15 and my legs are going

Latest results from the INSPIRE project - how doctors diagnose neuropsychiatric symptoms in lupus
A new study has found that doctors have a variety of opinions on whether different neuropsychiatric symptoms are directly caused by lupus. Doctors rated their assessment as most helpful in diagnosis & patient reports as least helpful. The researchers are calling for more inclusion of the patient voice

Peg reduction
hi all I’m just giving you a positive post about my Peg intake. I cannot believe that is roughly two yrs since I started Peg and I’m still reducing my dose. I started 90 units a week with 16 Hydroxicarbomide. ( I dropped the weekly 9 anagrelide) It then went to weekly minus the Hydroxicarbomide.

UK NHS - PA treatment & management experiences
I was diagnosed (by my GP) with PA about 2 months ago and so far I’m on the ‘standard’ NHS protocol having had my 6 loading injections of B12 and awaiting the next injection in 2-3 months (this period seems a bit hazy). To be honest, my GP appears to be ‘simply’ following the prescribed script so I’
