update on my wrist pain.
I am 77 years old and I've had PMR for 6 years. I'm now at 2mg. prednisone. (up from .75....ah, I was so hopeful a year ago) and over the last 3 months have been waking up with terrible pain in hand and thumb and wrist. Primary doc sent me for an EMG which showed moderately severe (whatever that means

NHS Laparoscopy date question...
Hey guys, I don't know if any of you will be able to answer this as it is probably different with each hospital/area/specialist. But, basically I went to an endo specialist in Birmingham and paid private for a consultation and an MRI which confirmed endo and he referred me to Bham Women's Hospital for

Sufficient Investigation?
My brother is a bit of an ostrich, over his prostate problems. He ignored his poor urinary flow for years, and despite my repeated advice which he ignored, he subsequently had to be admitted to the emergency department due to significant obstruction. His GFR had fallen dangerously to 10. He was in

feeling good
just an update that I am feeling really good after starting my lexapro. I feel a sense of contentment and gratitude even though I have some new challenges in my life. The dog I adopted from my friends dogs that passed away is having ACL surgery today. I’m hoping I’m up to the challenge of rehabilitation

Surgery etc.
Hi All, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 OC in May 2023 with the cancer migrated into my colon. I had been feeling unwell for 6 months and was assured by my doctor in February that it was acid reflux. This was despite my mentioning I have gynaecological issues in the family. The symptoms were bizarre

RA complicated by arthritis in knees
Morning, so I have increasing pain in knees, worse on left. Diagnosed with Degenerate Oesteo-Arthritis in both knees, treatment for which is steroid injection, for time being, but ultimately will need knee replacement surgery. My question is, does anyone have tips to reduce pain & swelling & preserve

painful heavy legs …. This has helped me!
I have RA, I also had a DVT 8 years ago following surgery. I have a job which keeps me on my feet all day and I’m in my mid 50s. I had started to get very heavy aching legs. Compression socks helped, but on a whim I bought an electronic circulation booster (the type of thing advertised on TV by

Schilling Test -or something else ?
I recently found this out: Seventeen years ago, my cousin was found to have B12 deficiency. She would have been in her early 30s then - and was told that PA was unlikely at that young age. They tested her. From what she has told me, it sounds as if she was given the Schilling test - as she remembers

back pain after excision
hi everyone, I’ve posted a few times so thanks to anyone who has replied before 😊 I had really extensive excision of stage 3/4 endometriosis with adenomyosis found 3 months ago. I’m really struggling with lower back pain. It gets worse around the time of ovulation and periods but it can be any time

Pcsk9
I have chronic renal failure stage 3 , have had aerotic valve surgery, also fairly high ldl cholesterol, prediabetes because of simvastatin, nhs will not authorize pcsk9 inhibitors for me , it seems that the nhs would prefer you to become diabetic than give better drugs without side effects

Today I saw a neurologist for the first time , sadly not impressed and I am frustrated . I have already posted about my bad experience and lack of care from my Gp surgery, the same from my new surgery. I realised that my right hip was not working as it should, couldn't lift it off the bed or get it into

so lost 😞
Does any one here ever feel like their losing the mind? I feel so lonely but at the same time can’t bring myself to meet with people, I don’t even know why this is, I feel so sad and frustrated at the constant symptoms yet I can’t even cry to feel a release. I will be having surgery no 3 soon in a BSGE

Constant uncomfortable feeling
I'm hoping anyone out there can reach out. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 10 years ago and had 3 laparoscopies with the last one removing my left ovary and tube over 3 years ago. For the past month or so the pain is gradually getting worse. I'm worried that this will be the norm as its feels too

Mood and Zoladex
Hello, I hope you’re all coping as best you can today and that there’s been a little light in your day. I am only on my second week after my first Zoladex injection and I’m just struggling a bit with low mood, feeling depressed and anxious and very emotional. There are a lot of horror stories out there

Hi Can anyone offer me any reassurance please? I had a heart stress test 6 weeks ago. The consultant hasn’t contacted me but he wrote to my surgery asking them to adjust my Isosorbide level. Using the FOI act I obtained a copy of the letter. It says that there is a ‘subtle inducable ischemia in the

Initial diagnosis Ataxia but then a Brain Tumour
Hi all. Some of you may remember I was intially diagnosed with Ataxia in October 2021 and found this lovely community. Once I had my MRI I was diagnosed with a Meningioma Brain Tumour which was causing my Ataxic Gait. I was going to leave this group as it felt wrong as that is not what I have. Some
