hello! i was diagnosed with ibs-d in 2009, but also took a SeHCAT retention test then, which came out as moderate to severe malabsorption. the gastro said the scans were not diagnostic at the time, so the dx stood at ibs-d. my gp had been working as if the scan was dx and i was responding well with ...

Hello! I'm fifty years old, female. I have a patch of skin, well, two, one on my thigh just above my right knee slightly off center and on on my upper left arm sometimes over the shoulder. not usually at the same time, the skin gets red hot and slightly raised and maniacally itchy. early on, i was i...

I just found what used tho be called 'women's health' has become the 'pelvic health physiotherapy team'. I thought they had just disappeared. They were the ones who were my first confidence boost: "that's not a dent, it's a divot. Nope, that's an actual hole."

Thanks for that. Sometimes it's just a confidence boost needed to overcome doubts tho ask fir the help. We'll see if that's what was needed!

Things didn't quite go to plan and i ended up on my back and then episiotomy and grabbers... he's doing great, started upper school this year. But.

I've never had my nails this mangled, esp...

hello! let's see... i've got a number of urogynae things going on. I went to a heavy menstrual bleeding clinic, and turned out i have fibroids in a anteverted uterus, i had a three inch (gah, yes, inch, it was scary to see) that was holding my cervix open, i seem to get an infected um, is it called ...

thank you very much! i will consult with my gp (gastro has discharged me in frustration). Can you suggest a particular sequestrant? I've had cholestyramine, colesevelam, and colestipol. I'll work on that first, and then ask about retesting at colorectal. thanks for hanging on through the storm! kind...

Urgle. sorry, i don't always remember everything that's happened. Before I had the biofeedback, i had a ... test... can't remember what it was called, but it was to show what the muscles were like, to see if anything had ripped or torn. I had an open episiotomy wound for about three years following ...
