New to Peripheral Neuropathy
Hi. Apologies if this question has arisen before but I am new to this site. Shortly after hospitalisation in May for low oxygen I developed PN on the soles of my feet. I have just finished an 8 week course of B12 and go to the surgery for a blood test today. My feet seem to be improving but very, very

PIP advice
hello there. I’m looking for some thoughts regarding PIP. I will be 65 in January 24. In 2012 I had my left lung removed as a result of lung cancer. Ergo I now have 50 % less breathing capacity. I was retired early and had my pension was released. At that time I applied for DLA, and received the higher

Update on Dental Implant Surgery
A quick note to say that it all went well. I am currently on 3mg pred. The dental surgeon advised 10 mg the morning of the surgery. I was also given paracetamol and antibiotics. Tooth extracted, implant inserted with some bone graft. Not pleasant but it didn’t hurt at all. Followed the hygiene instructions

Need a bit of tlc
Am in hospital just having had a keyhole surgery to remove a large cyst and my remaining ovary. Am so bloated with all the CO2 they pumped into me so the surgeon could see what he was doing that I feel like 6months pregnant which would indeed by a miracle and a half! It is 3am and there is no way that

upping steroids short term to boost recovery?
writing on behalf of my mum who is getting over a respiratory tract infection (or not getting over it to be precise). She has long PMR (getting on 40 yr) and is constantly trying to reduce pred. I recall reading in this forum a recommendation to temporarily increase dose when ill / having surgery etc

For those with kids...
Sorry if this is triggering for anyone ttc. For the ladies with kids how do you manage? I have 3 young kids 5, 7 and 10. I know I'm lucky to have had no fertility issues. Endo/Adeno I believe has been a result of a c section with my third. But how the hell do you manage the pain and worse CONSTANT FATIGUE

L1/L2 Decompression with Cyst Excision
I’d be very grateful to hear from anyone who has undergone this particular surgery and also from others who decided not to proceed with it. I am 77, live on my own and am managing constant pain (oftentimes severe nerve pain) with gentle exercise, walking little and often, taking a low dose of pregabalin

bisoprolol reduction
Thank you everyone for your replies. After my visit to A and E on Sunday the doctor told me to take an additional 1.25mg of bisoprolol for 3 days so now taking 2.50mg per day. I think I was a little naive but trusted the hospital to reduce to 1.25 after my cardioversion he said my heart rate was

If the metastasis is not severe (ie widespread) why not surgery first?
Hi All, I was just wondering why surgery is not more a conventional method in stage 4 metastatic breast cancer? If one has a breast tumor, and only a few areas of metastasis - why isn't surgery to remove the breast tumor, and then radation/targetted treatment on the areas of metastasis? Any insight

Anticipated endo appointment 🤦♀️
Hi everyone ❤️ As some members will know I posted a few days ago that my gp will not do my repeat prescription for my T3 until I see an endocrinologist, for which she is doing the referral. As I told her I've got around 7 possibly 8 days of T3 left. Obviously I'm going to need to contact the surgery

Can surgery be refused due to a high BMI?
Hi everyone I’m on the waiting list for a gyno appointment to check for endo. I’ve read on here that sometimes MRI scans don’t show endo and you’ve got to have a larp. Am I right in thinking they won’t do a larp unless you’re in the healthy category for weight on the NHS BMI scale? I eat well but

Looking for advice please!!
Hello, I have finally seen a gynaecologist about years of heavy painful periods who has said there may be a possibility of endometriosis and has listed me for a laparoscopy. I am at the stage in life where I am not quite ready to start the journey of trying to get pregnant but would like to start this

Laparotomy, Radical hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophrectomy
I had a major surgery about 8 months ago but the pain around my stomach hasn't gone away. My blood tests and CT scan results are normal.They mentioned that have adhesions which make me in pain all day all night, so I only rely on the pain reliefs.

Lobectomy for bronchiectasis
Hi,I was wondering if anyone has had a lobectomy for bronchiectasis and were cured or at least felt a lot better? I had an open lobectomy on 1st September but that was because there was a 5cm mass in my right lower lobe and I had been coughing up blood in my sputum since December 25th 2022. From September
