What should I expect
Hi I have my first
vascular
surgery
clinic appointment tomorrow. Can anyone advise on what to expect. Also any questions I should ask. I had an echocardiogram and it showed some dilation of the aorta. TIA 😊

New Diagnosis
I have two appointments coming up one in March at
vascular
surgery
clinic and in April at cardiology clinic. I have to say that I am not as devastated as when I got my son's diagnosed.

Palliative care, does it still exist?
Meanwhile the nurse in
vascular
surgery
has got me Farrow wraps for my legs and I'm injecting myself daily for my bones. All this is going well but nothing from the palliative care team. I was hoping someone would contact me as I could do with some advice.

Trigeminal Neuralgia pain
Surgery has been suggested as an option but this is a big thing to think about as it's classed as brain
surgery
Has anyone has successful Mirco-
vascular
decompression (MVD )
surgery
? I am just trying to get as much information as I can before I make a decision about the surgery

I'm struggling
Last year I had Micro
Vascular
Decompression
Surgery
to treat Trigeminal Neuralgia. On the good side, it's cured me from that awful illness. But it came with a very high price.

Lupron - are there heart risks?
My father , 83 , recently got diagnosed with Prostate cancer with mets to some bones , as per PSMA test. We have not done a biopsy as one doctor said there is no need to do it as treatment options won’t change but another doctor says it’s good to do it in case later down the line we need to add treatments

Droxia vs Hydrea
I've been treated with Hydroxyurea (hydrea) 500mg for PV since December 2021. Due to stomach issues in March 2023 the HU was decreased to every other day. I did fine on this dosage. My #s stayed pretty much normal & eventually my hemoglobin and hematocrit were actually on the low side of normal so

DVT with intravenous AB
On Friday, I had a PICC line inserted into my right arm to administer Ceftazidime ABs every 24 hours by Hospital at Home nurses. My hand hurt from the moment the line was inserted and by Tuesday, I was experiencing numbness and pins and needles. Long story short, I had an ultrasound and a four inch

First appointment with nhs Rheumy
Hi, I had my first nhs appointment with the Rheumy who is based at the same health centre as the one I have seen privately. He did say to me that he was aware that I had seen one, I had already had my bloods done prior to the appointment. He said my RF was 170 which is high, he gave me two booklets

Chemo Side Effects
On lupron since 2011, recurrance, SPLASH TRIAL, Provenge NOv 2023. Strarted on Taxatere (doxcetel) in March. My MO put me on an 18 infusion schedule (I believe 1/2 normal dose) because of my age, 84. I get infused ever week for 3 weeks, then 1 week off and continue for 28 infusions. I have had 6 infusions

Hemosiderin staining?
Hi, Has anyone else experienced this? I’ve woken up today with rust like staining, mainly on my left hand with a little on my right. No logical cause from anything I’ve touched. Googling seems to suggest it is hemosiderin staining, though they are mainly US sites. This could make sense as I still

Hydration (again)
Following yesterday’s post, I’m puzzled why we need to obsessively drink so much water for good cardiac health if we have atrial fibrillation and take anticoagulants. I try to drink 2 litres a day but it’s becoming very inconvenient, because of urinary frequency, urgency and nocturia. No gp or consultant

apixiban and tumeric
I stopped taking tumeric and related supplements when I started taking apixiban on advice of Anti-Coagulation clinic. As a result of stopping tumeric, i got really bad joint pains over past four years. Is there really a possibility that I can actually take tumeric while taking apixiban? I do

Work on healing balance
My balance is no longer a major issue. I am working on improving it. I do work on my core. I consider my balance issues to be a neurological issue. I balance on both feet or one foot and focus on one point. Then I move my eyes back and forth in focus and same up and down. I also move my head to change
