Help with getting a diagnosis
Hi all, I have been struggling for years now with symptoms of hypothyroidism. It’s all really come on over the last couple of years. My weight is out of control, I’m freezing all the time, my hair is dry and brittle, plus many other textbook underactive thyroid symptoms. I’ve been to the doctors

max inhaler dose?
Hi everyone. I saw the hospital respiratory team about a month ago, who said that it is ok to take 5 puffs rather than the suggested max 4 puffs Fostair 200/6, as a kind of last resort before prednisolone. I’ve taken a lot of steroids this year and am trying to reduce the number of courses. However,

Recovery
Has anyone else had previous open heart surgery and had burning pain and discomfort in left side of ribs, back and sharp pains in chest? I know this is all part of the healing process but the burning pain and discomfort has started in the past week, which is my third/forth week after surgery. I expected

Terrified at thought of laparoscopy
I found out earlier in the week that my recent ultrasound scan picked up a large endometrioma on my right ovary. Because of the cancer risk, GP referred me to the gynaecologist through the 2 week wait, and I was told to expect surgery. I have a huge fear of hospitals and anything medical. It took me

Prostrap experiences please. Also returned endo pain after a bowel resection advice
In june this year I had excision surgery for stage 4 endometriosis including a bowel resection. I was pain free for about 2 months then unfortunately it came back in my bowels and flare ups are more frequent. I met with my specialist this week and she wants me to go onto Prostap injections for at least

repeat prescription via NHS app
Today is day 20 of my monthly Levo prescription. I used to order two weeks before running out but the surgery got funny about it and said I can only order a week before running out so I make sure I order on day 20. Using the NHS app to request repeat prescription this morning it failed to go through

PSA slightly rose after 8 months undetectable
I am 57 and on ADT (Firmagon+Zytiga+Prednisone) after surgery in 2022 and 39 sessions of RT in 2023 (Jan Feb). Till now I has been undetectable but at November my bloodwork showed PSA risen to 0.04. Should I be concerned or could it be just random fluctuation? Thanks for your reactions.

T4 Reduction to increase TSH
In January I was taking 150 T4 daily and 2x5mg T3, my bloods were T4=18.1 (9-19) T3 4.98 (2.6-5.7) TSH <0.03(0.35-4.94). I have been taking T3 since Oct 2019 because I felt so ill, tired, hair loss, dry skin, muscle and joint problems. With the help of much advice on here I started taking supplements

scar from open heart surgery
I have lately been to the DRs with my open heart scar.. The top and bottom of the scar is oozing yellow pus, which has been dressed. Since noticing the oozing I have also noticed the left side of my breast, back and chest is very painful and uncomfortable especially in the morning and evenings. I don

First Esophageal Cancer & now Gastric Cancer
Hi to all, I am a 14 year survivor of an Ivor-Lewis Open Esophagectomy. Unfortunately, after many months of throwing up and being unable to keep anything down, several EGD's, an EUS, a CT scan and then the one that we all know means business -- the Pet Scan. I was delivered the news that I now have

stockists
Does anyone know the best stockists for bras for people who have had surgery and have lymphoedema in one or both arms. I find if I have a good fitting bra it moves the fluid along and arms fit better in my clothing.

Possible carotid artery problem discovered 3 weeks after double heart bypass surgery.
My hubby has been home for 2 weeks after his bypass surgery, and because of an ongoing vision problem, it's now suspected that his carotid artery also has blockage(s) and clots are happening. He's going to have an ultrasound urgently. Poor man, still very much recovering from surgery. Is this familiar

Acalabrutinib- stopping before surgery and possible side effects.
I have more skin cancer. I’ve been on Acalabrutinib for a year. I believe I will have to stop taking it for a few days before and after surgery. Are there any side effects when stopping for that brief period? Thanks!

Half mg tablets
Just a short post. After a very long time cutting my one mg tablets in half I was telephoned by my surgery yesterday asking why I didn’t request half mg Pred? My rheumatologist had contacted the surgery to ask them to supply me with them. So, for those who struggle with all that fiddling about you

Which option for surgery
My dad has been waiting for open heart surgery for a valve replacement for 2 years. He is now faced with a second option, TAVI, rather than open heart. Does anyone have any experience or helpful advice? We are researching for him so that he can make an informed decision. Any help would be greatly appreciated
