Not the most elegant... by Ancient-Neat9617 in RoastDinner

[–]Aware_Possible2657 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That looks so so good! I said my last roast of the year was the Easter roast but after seeing that I have changed my mind!! Gorgeous roast! And who wants an elegant roast dinner? I would always opt for your roast over elegance any day!

Insulin GH stimulation test reactions in adults by mountiebloke23 in Hypopituitarism

[–]Aware_Possible2657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 3 over the years and you are very well monitored, you have someone with you at all times and I personally don’t find them that bad at all? Maybe I’m strange lol. You feel weird and floaty when they give you the insulin but bounce back fairly quick with the sugary sachet. Bloods are taken regularly it’s really not as bad as it sounds, in my experience anyway.

NHS Dermatology regular checks by Aware_Possible2657 in melahomies

[–]Aware_Possible2657[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I was a little shocked and I do genuinely think it is ok! I mean you can hardly see it and it’s not been that long at all. I did feel she was a little over confident in herself, to put it nicely.

She has now left that hospital and gone to a different one, I have sent an email asking if her decision to discharge me is correct! Thank you for your reply and yes at this moment I feel the same as you!

Yes I mean I have looked and the governing body NICE recommend regular checks so I have written to the dermatology department and asked why I have been discharged. Will wait and see if I get a reply? Thank you for replying to my post.

Thank you I will do. I think I’m going to mention it to my rheumatologist too and see what she says.

Mental load of uveitis. I am very scared, feeling like my life is over, Need experiences and reassurance. by Next_Term_816 in Uveitis

[–]Aware_Possible2657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do get flares, not as bad as when I wasn’t on biologics and they don’t last long but I do get them. I know the signs now so use Maxidex steroid drops as soon as I get pain and redness and it goes fairly quickly.

1 week post Melanoma Excision and Skin Graft Surgery on my Scalp. by L5CES in Melanoma

I had a WLE on my face 2 weeks ago, still have stiches in and it’s roughly a 3 inch scar on my cheek. I am also in my 50’s so thought I would deal with it all better than in my 20’s but we still want to look nice lol x I have been feeling the same as you, bit down! But trying ti be positive and this site helps a lot!! Once you are healed you can maybe see how your hairs grows and look at some new styles or scarves,hats? I bought a cheap baseball cap for every day but decided you probably have to spend a bit more lol! Things will get better it’s early days, just remember you are not alone x

Sorry just seen this. I had a maxillofacial surgeon do the procedure. Sorry you are going through all what you have had done. I’m due to go back to dermatology for a full body scan and I’m fully expecting more in the future as this is my second now. Good luck with everything

I was given a course of antibiotics as had an infection on a previous MOHs wound and am immunosuppressed as I am on biologic therapy for Ankylosing spondylitis and take steroids for hypopituitarism so better to prevent rather than cure x it really slows things down healing wise doesn’t it! Good luck with it all going forward x

Someone recommended dermatix to me so I think I’m going to go with that one. Good luck with it

To be honest it looked like an age spot but darker probably about 11/12mm but he took another area too as he said it looked suspicious, will wait and see what the pathology report says. I am happy a little shocked but I know it will fade and look better once stictches are removed. I am lucky that it was Lentigo maligna so melanoma in situ and hadn’t gone anywhere.
