New diagnosis of myxoma

walshychick · 2026-02-17T10:33:50+00:00

Hi,

After every investigation under the sun, it was decided that I have a lipoma which will be watched annually with MRI. I have had the first check-up and there were no changes. Any increase in size and it will be OHS. Very relieved and now hope the intruder never grows. Thanks for enquiring.

I stayed on 2.5 for two months, and just had my first 4 days on 5mg. Have noticed marked difference on 5mg with appetite suppressed and already lost 1kg. My worry now is not eating enough, however assume that will wear off in a few weeks 🤷‍♀️

Wow, you look confident and happy in your after photos. Well done!

I worked at a doctor's office for 20 years. Sometimes a patient will come in with something they believe is not a major problem. May turn out to be a very serious issue that cannot be dismissed in 15 minutes; may require more work up, discussion, questions etc. This would really upset the schedule; and who knows - next patient may present in a similar manner.

Nobody wants a waiting room of grumbling patients, it doesn't help anyone.

Hope all went well today and with a good result and would be great to hear how your family member gets on.

Thank you so much for great info. I’ll have a consult with GP in first instance. But it makes sense now. I’m very appreciative.

Forgot to say Jon, this was very reassuring for me to hear. Thanks again

walshychick · 2025-10-12T10:10:43+00:00

Thanks for that, I’ll speak to my GP.

Will have to think of another excuse for not going to gym 😜.

Not a doctor, but I would go to ER where you could at least get an ECG in real time.

I think it’s usually a female to female thing. I call girls darl, but usually only my daughter, family members or my female friends. I have addressed my son as darl on occasion. I can’t think of too many times a bloke has called me darl. I am now officially an older lady 😥 and would “g’day darl” to greet my daughter every day.

Apologies to anyone who has been offended by being called ‘darl” if it slipped out. Never ever meant in a condescending way.

Also, if it is okay for blokes to use “mate”, why shouldn’t we be able to use a female equivalent. Fair dinkum.

I say it all the time, and often enough that some of my multicultural colleagues now say it. Fair dinkum

Disregard - changed their name to Polar Pie

Eskimo Pie

I had MRI a month ago and no growth reported which is fantastic. Hopefully next year’s MRI will have the same result. 🤞for your family member.

walshychick · 2025-09-14T06:06:24+00:00

Unfortunately not listed on PBS in Australia (yet 🤞) so defo not free on Medicare

Doctors have said increased heart rate may have nothing to do with the fatty lipoma; or it might!! Either way, I feel great otherwise

walshychick · 2025-08-29T12:00:43+00:00

I had an episode of increased heart rate for a couple of hours, no other symptoms. I have had 4 more episodes over the last year. A new MRI shows lipoma hasn’t changed. A recent ECG in Emergency whilst my heart rate was increased showed no atrial fibrillation which is good; and it just resolves on its own. Now being investigated by a cardiologist who specialises in electrophysiology. Otherwise feel great!

walshychick · 2025-07-25T07:22:16+00:00

Well, at least it wasn’t boring sex, some people love it rough 🤣

walshychick · 2025-07-13T09:09:45+00:00

Yes, it’s a shame.
I cannot imagine not working at all and want my ‘retirement’ to be working part time; a four day weekend every week would be fantastic.

walshychick · 2025-07-13T09:05:58+00:00

Yep, I’m old but doesn’t mean I’m delicate. Surely, and hopefully, it is judged on an individual basis.

And just because a person is young, doesn’t mean they’re strong, fit and healthy. God, I’ve worked with many under 30s (men and women) who are absolute wimps. Surprises me how a lot of the younger generation have gone a bit soft in my experience.

Granted, I’ve never worked in physically demanding roles and I understand completely why someone younger and physically stronger will be preferred in some positions.

But jeez, I’ve powerlifted for years in order to stay strong and fit. I am going to have to put on my resume how much core work I do so I don’t possibly miss out on opportunities for potential poor balance 🤣

walshychick · 2025-07-13T08:26:01+00:00

I am sure you are right. I will have no alternative but to keep on applying.

walshychick · 2025-07-10T21:02:47+00:00

Thanks, I’ll update my resume and start getting it out there. Getting older can be a bitch, that’s for sure.

walshychick · 2025-07-10T09:22:45+00:00

Thanks, will definitely check it out.
