This isn't gonna be much of a question, just needed somewhere to vent because I am in struggle town right now. Currently on day 6 of my period which, as usual, has been absolutely awful and has meant I've had to take time off work and also go and stay with my parents for a few days because I wasn't

Periods with HRT
Last Sept I had extensive excision surgery and the removal of one ovary. I was given utrogestan capsules and evorel 50 patches. However, I have had two bleeds one in dec and one in Jan, more like spotting but with all the pain like a period. I’ve called my dr as she wants me to go back and see my specialist

Cyst, not endometrioma
I had an endometrioma removed a few years ago. It helped greatly. A cyst (full of water, not an endometrioma) has now developed on the other side (over ovary and uterus) and is bigger than the endometrioma but is not causing me any physical pain (the endometrioma made it difficult and sometimes impossible

Weaning post kasai.
Hi, Has anyone weaned before 6 months post kasai surgery? My baby is 4 months old and doing well. He is showing signs that I could start weaning him but because of his surgery I’m not sure if I should wean early or not? Anyone got any advice? Or weaned their babies early post kasai?

Decision making
I am having a hard time justifying doing anything about my Afib since I feel really good most of the time. Even in Afib I'm pretty good except for the worrying and checking of my heart rate every little bit. I have recently backed out of an RF ablation and a Cryo ablation for fear of a poor outcome

Dianogest/Zalkya, dry mouth and throat, sore throat.
Hi ladies, I have been taking Zalkya/Dianogest for 8 months post stage 3 endometriosis surgery. Around 5 months ago, I started to have a sore throat, with sore tongue and dryness in my mouth as well as dry eyes and inside of the nose. Is this the side effect anyone has experienced while taking dianogest

memory loss prostap hell
my life is a living hell at the min I have been on prostap injections now for 2 1/2 years. I was meant to be having a hysterectomy but because I have a complex medical history. They keep finding excuses not to do the surgery such as can’t have general anaesthetic because of XY and Z and I can’t

Mixing plain and gastro Pred
I have just requested 2.5mg Prednisolone from my surgery as I am down to 4.5mg and it’s much easier to get a correct dose without splitting pills. I see that they will be giving me gastro resistant tabs so I will be taking 1 of these together with 2x1mg plain Prednisolone. Is this going to create

My doctors have just done B12 and folic acid blood tests, I was diagnosed in 2002 with pernicious anaemia. I have just been told that both results are high and that a doctor may want to speak to me. There is rumours that the surgery are trying to cut back on prescription and I am worried they will stop

TSH rising inexplicably
Hi, I haven’t posted for years because things had been as stable as they could be for someone with ME, but in the last year my TSH has gone from suppressed on T3 only therapy to high ‘normal’ to just over ‘normal’ to my latest blood of TSH 7.86. Sorry this is a long post I am a complicated case.

Total Hip Replacement Decision
Hello Friends, I have ET-MPL 515L, and this is year 10 with the disease, and I am doing well thanks to Pegasys. I have been informed, due to arthritis, I need a total hip replacement. Those of us with MPN's are at increased risk of vertebrae and hip fractures, YIKES! In discussions with my Oncologist

Pacemaker surgery
Hello everyone I am likely to be having a pacemaker fitting soon and the idea of the surgery is really freaking me out. I think it's because it's done under local anaesthetic and so I'll see them doing it. For people that have had the surgery, how was it and how did you feel afterwards? I've had two
