View 4 RepliesMY GP recently prescribed Atorvastatin to deal with high(ish) cholesterol. I have been taking Amlodipine, Losartan and Bezafibrate without any problems but in the past 3 weeks since starting the statins I feel like crap - Nausea, muscle pains, kidney pains and total lack of energy.
The blurb with the statins indicated there could be problems with Amlodipine but I started taking them.
since yesterday night I started feeling an extreme dry burning sensation on the left upper lip starting. To be precise exactly above the point where the lower lip and upper lip join. It looks like a small white spot. No redness but feels like burning sensation. Even after applying vaseline aloe Vera lip balm the burning sensation is still there. I am very scared . Could it be cold sore . I am 30 years old and I have never had cold sore in my life.

View 1 RepliesI'm now almost 4 weeks post abdominal and it still hurts to wee. It's not severe but I definitely feel it, especially if I don't go immediately. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I don't have any symptoms of infection and everything seems to be going well with my recovery. I even laid on my stomach in bed last night...for about 10 minutes lol
Off to Endo tomorrow to see what they say, I was wondering if anybody is taking Carbimazole with HRT. Had complete hysterectomy last year so taking HRT and just wondering if this has anything to do with my over active thyroid, a few people spoke to know of women who have had hysterectomy and gone on to have OA thyroid.
View 1 RepliesI am 67 years of age. In the past year I have begun to have hot flashes again. Is this normal? My doctor said well that is one of those things we have to put up with. I had stopped having problems with hot flashes about 45 years of age or before. When I had total hysterectomy those stopped. Can anyone tell me about why this might be the norm and we have to put up with it until death!
View 1 Repliesthink i've finally hit ground zero after hysterectomy and ovary removal, I'm in my third week. Hot flushes are manageable but the overwhelming feeling of doom and the constant feeling of anxiety is getting to me! Is this it or will I get better? I can't have HRT, I'm taking menopace and I don't want to take anti depressants! I am due to go back to a very stressful job in 3 weeks and am worrying myself sick!
View 32 RepliesI just turned 49 and have fibroids and thick lining of my uterus. I am told my uterus is the size of a 3 month pregnancy. My periods are always heavy and usually 2 x a month, however the last two months they were normal flow and only lasted 5 days, the last period was very late as well. So apparently my hormones are changing.
Thing is, I need a tummy tuck due to a severe and painful scar from my last c section. I was given the option of having both partial hysto and TT done at the same time but it seems like too much to go through at once.
I am not sure if I NEED a hysterectomy or not, but I do need a TT.
by the way I also seem to suffer from incontinence from time to time and not sure of my large uterus is responsible.
Can you have tubes out and not a hesterectomy

View 1 RepliesI have never had an operation before, I'm not bothered at all about having my womb cut out; I'm afraid of being anaesthetised. If it were possible, I wouldn't mind just having the area anaesthetised and staying awake and watching the whole operation.
I have asthma, I am allergic to some local anaesthetics as well as other medicines, and I have developed breathing difficulties when taking certain medicines, including sleeping pills. I'm afraid that I will stop breathing or have an allergic reaction. Also that I may wake up in the middle of the operation (I've sometimes stayed awake after taking strong prescription sleeping pills), that I might become brain damaged,,go into a coma, go into a locked-in state where I can sense everything around me but everybody thinks I'm unconscious, or worst of all, just never wake up.
I had a cat who went completely deaf after being anaesthetised for a routine dental exam, but he had a heart condition already, which may have caused this by preventing enough oxygen from getting to his ears when he was under the anaesthetic.
I know people who have had many operations and they were fine every time. Did anybody else have the same fear of anaesthesia before their operation? How did you get over it?
Has anyone had TAH and not had morphine after as really don't want this drug in my body and would rather have either an alternative or no pain relief at all. And if not had pain relief then truthfully how painful have you found it.

View 8 RepliesI am three weeks post op from a subtotal hysterectomy, removal of both ovaries and removal of a giant ovarian cyst. The cyst was enormous , over 30 cms/11pints, and I was told before my op I would need HRT, but couldn't start until the histology results were back for the cyst. I have now had confirmation that all was benign so need to make some decisions about managing this surgical menopause. I am aware that being thrown into menopause due to ovary removal means I can expect severe symptoms, but so far I have only experienced night sweats. That said early days.
I would like some advice on HRT. I have read about bioidentucal HRT, but don't know if it is just hype. There are also gels, creams, implants, tablets, oestrogen only or combined HRT. I just need to hear what has worked for others. I have no family history of cancer, but I do of heart disease. I myself am healthy but I am about five stone overweight. I would like to protect myself against osteoporosis, that is my main priority I think. I am 47 and had not started the menopause before my op. Any anecdotal advice much appreciated.
