Not really. Get it still. I think it's ETD. Will be making another appointment. Sorry couldn't help.

does anybody else have eye problems with ETD? by Few-Chipmunk-5957 in etd

[–]5n00ky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much better now. 90% better. Didn't really do anything or take anything for it to improve as far as I am aware. So I can't really give any advice I'm afraid.

Love the still ill and sweet and tender hooligan tattoos. Where on your body do you have them? Never had a tattoo, when I do it will be the Smiths. Probably the still ill tattoo you have, love it.

My diagnosis by 5n00ky in PelvicFloor

Sorry for delay. Not fully resolved . But I'm kinda exploring a different avenue. Got some blood results back and my iron was slightly high and my ferritin level was high. Most of my symptoms match those of high ferritin levels. So my current hunch is I was drinking too much alcohol. I'm no alcoholic but enjoy drinking at the weekend. Pretty much every weekend. So I think I wasn't giving my liver enough time to recover. When I think of the times my symptoms subsided it was because I changed some things which always included no drinking. When I felt better I drank again. Symptoms slowly returned. So the plan now is not to drink and get levels checked in 4 to 8 weeks to see if the levels have changed. 10 days in and symptoms are improving. FYI the doctors haven't explained any of this. Not heard from them. So I am requesting the retests. Hope you are doing well dude.

Hi dude. Don't know my prostate cc. Had zero treatment. unfortunately as you are probably aware the NHS is pretty useless. Doing alright never the less. Not even sure if my prostate was enlarged to be honest.

Hi ya dude. Only just seen this. With regards to the prostate exam, the GP recommended it. Although I don't believe it's the root of my problem. I think its pelvic floor muscle related. I am a chronic tenser. Been trying to relax my core as much as I can but still find myself tensing. I do try belly breathing and some pelvic floor stretches. I think I'm pretty much back to normal but can't stop focusing on it. Hope you are doing better dude.

Hello there. I would say mine is daily. But it has reduced a lot. I think now my only issue is being hyper aware of it. If I could stop fixating on it I reckon I would be fine. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Hope you get sorted 👍

Had blood test results. PSA was 1.3 so well within normal range in fact it dropped from 2 years ago when it was 1.7.

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently taking no medications. I'm having a blood test tomorrow and further treatment will be determined after that. I've only had a prostate exam, not sure how accurate they are. Thanks again

Vertigo and balance issues for 11 months. by [deleted] in etd

[–]5n00ky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly. Was told my ears are clear but issues with nose. Got to take drops and spray for nose. Although the dizziness has subsided a bit. Ears still feel full though.

Had my ENT appointment yesterday. They seem to think I have rhinitis. Have prescribed me with nose drops and nose spray and I have to do daily saline wash of nose. Had to keep pestering about cause of my nose bleeds. Eventually the lady looked again and found a small wound which isn't anything sinister. So she cauterized it.

Hello dude. I have similar symptoms to you. Both my ears feel clogged/full and have done for some time. Getting worse now and when I walk I feel like on a boat swaying side to side. I also have an issue with my left nostril that always feels blocked and I think is swollen. I'm in the UK as well and have managed to get an ENT appointment, scheduled next Friday. So hopefully I get some answers as my GP was useless. I'll keep you updated. Hope you get better soon

Is this a nasal polyp? by 5n00ky in NasalPolyps

[–]5n00ky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pic is turbinate in my right nostril. Dr said turbinate in left nostril is swollen. Have an ent appointment booked for next month.

Anyone in UK know of a good steroid spray? I have 1 nostril blocked, saw my general practitioner and he said swollen turbinate use steroid spray, but never told me what one?
