I've noticed over the past few days that the heel of my right foot has been painful, so I've gone and checked it tonight and I have a open sore as a size of a £2 coin and my whole foot and leg is really swollen and hot to touch. I recently went to have my feet taken care of by a chiropodist on...

Just had a letter come through from the gastro team who are now going to put me on Creon, due to finding out that my faecal calproctecin is normal (19) but my faecal elastase is low (59) and also referred me to a dietitian. I feel so relieved that I've got the results back, but concerned about...

I was unlucky enough to have Covid in November 2020, before the vaccinations came out. No need to go up hospital, but I was off work for 6 weeks.

Has anyone had issues with the Wavesense Jazz testing strips being inaccurate? I had a hypo on Friday night, without noticing it before I fell unconscious. Luckily, there was a first aider nearby with his own meter who tested me and my bs level was at 3.3, despite my own meter telling me that...

I'm on Novorapid, Tresiba and Ozempic injections. Metformin SR, Spironolactone, Cardeviol tablets and Testosterone gel. I've only had the tarry stools once, every other time that I had diarrhoea, its been brown and more liquid than solid.

For me, the problem is not metformin. As I've been off it for a month.

Well it didn't go great to start with as I got seen at 13:55pm and the nurse wanted to hurry things up. Good news is that my coeliac blood test came back negative. My liver and kidney functions have improved. Got a blood test form for my hba1c, random glucose, vitamin B12 and D. Had my legs...

Well I finally have an appointment today at 1:45pm with a nurse.

I have done before and they would say to cal 111 or go A&E.

No, they keep saying to phone up at 8am for an appointment the same day. They have a online booking system, but no available appointments: Your GP practice services Sorry, your practice does not currently have any appointment slots that can be booked online.

Still can't get an appointment at my new doctor's. All out of appointments today, so trying again tomorrow.

There is, but they are shocking to wait around for as I went to them last month and all they did was to either send me to a&e or call my doctors the next day. On the upside, I've had normal bowel movements over the past week, apart from when I had a small portion of spaghetti bolognese on...

I did ring up at 8am to try and get an appointment with my doctor today, as I am now experiencing pain and cramping in my legs due to them swelling up. After not being able to get through for 20 minutes, I finally got through and was waiting an extra 30 minutes only to be told to try again...

I am feeling a bit better, but I am still on a high dosage of insulin with being on Novorapid (54, 48, 48) and Tresiba (98). I went down to 3.7 at 3pm today after having 2 Bacon and Cheese Oatcakes this morning and a Wright's Meat & Potato pie. My blood sugars this morning were at 9.8 when I...

No. When I was up the hospital on Thursday, the doctor showed me his computer and that the blood tests result had still not comeback.

Well, I think I may have found one of my triggers for diarrhoea and abdominal pain. Currently sitting on the toilet after having a small portion of spaghetti bolognese.

My parents think that it could be IBS and my sister has advised me to go get some gut health supplements.

They have and still waiting on a result

My gut problems have struck again. I was up on Wednesday from 11pm to 3am on Thursday with abdominal pain and diarrhoea that was black, sticky and tar. I decided to take my self up A&E, only for them to say that they can't find nothing wrong with my blood tests or ct scan of my abdomen. Since...

I've put a request in on the NHS app, but I've heard nothing back yet from my GP. I usually order my own on the NHS app, but with Ozempic being prescribed by the hospital, I have to be sent a prescription through the post every time. I will also take a read of the website as I was put on...
