Cortisol low,and I’m not well
My rheumie (who is wonderful, private, Suffolk) asked my surgery to do a 9am cortisol test as I have been on 3mg of Pred for many months. Last night I was up all night vomiting and diarrhoea and today I feel weird. The cortisol result was posted on my NHS app this morning - 98nmol (133-537. The GP who

Failed back surgery
If you have had a failed back surgery, when was it determined? I had l5 s1 fusion, laminectomy and bilateral foraminotomy almost a year ago and am concerned about the amount of back and nerve pain I am still experiencing.

Advice on Spasticity
Following a stroke my partner has severe very painful spasticity in his legs. Despite pain killers and antispasmodic drugs he is in terrible pain when moved ( and pretty well bed ridden as a result) I have managed to get him a referral to a special clinic in Orpington but the waiting list is so long

A positive A&E experience
There has been so much comment about bad hospital experiences that I thought I should report a good one. Last night, just as the death of the Queen was announced, my husband was taken ill with acute abdominal pain. I phoned 999, got a quick reply and a sympathetic response and an ambulance crew arrived

A surprising week away
I thought I would post this experience as it may help others with the confidence to do more with this awful bowel condition. Most of my 2022 was spent living practically like a hermit. From about April onwards I became so despondent about this condition and convinced myself my life was basically over

Meds to slow motility
In my now full year of bowel problems (started with mainly diarrhoea, then changed to mixed, now seems to be more on the formed side, with the occasional explosion!), I have found that the only thing which gives me confidence to go out and do things is a Loperamide in the morning. It stops the flow

Itchiness is fading away...
I have had PV for ten years and am a 66 year old male. Phlebotomies & aspirin worked well for that time. Aquagenic priurits (itchiness on contact with water) had become unbearable by June 2022. I went onto 500mg per day HU (Hydroxyurea).The itchiness started to decrease and now after 6 months has almost

First run completed ✅
First run completed it mate ✅ The second 2 minute run I was like I could easily run 5k I feel great. A hill then happened and I definitely wasn’t as positive 😂 The last two minute runs I found very hard - ankles hurt, stabbing pain in thigh and some exercise induced asthma (I haven’t suffered from

Which gets really severe when I am on the loo, once my bowel is completely empty I have no pain and feel great until next time which could be in days or weeks.My question is, as often recommended, should I take loperamide as I

hiccups after surgery
hi not sure if this is the rightforum, but my father had an epidural to numb his nerves to get knees operated on. He developed a severe case of hiccups for 2 weeks after that, which made him very frail and deprressed. They seemed to clear up with some medication. 4 years dow the line and they have

I have a wonderful Solicitor
hi everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted my updated news. My divorce has been put on hold for whatever reason which I do not understand. I payed out 600 pounds for flights and accommodation but had to cancel due to the above. I am feeling so much better than before as I was in a mess physically

Could a previous diagnosis of brachial neuritis be a warning sign of PMR?
Before was finally diagnosed with GCA/LVV + PMR in March this year, I had been to my GP a few years ago with extreme pain going from my neck to my arm (one side only, severe, and enough to reduce me to tears because there seemed to be no way, no position, no medication that alleviated the torture). Dx

So now I'm hobbling!
Some of you may remember my post a few weeks ago telling you of my broken wrist sustained during a totally mad moment when I thought it was a good idea to try and stand on the kids hoverboard! Well, since then, I've managed pretty well to be independent and have found all sorts of ways of managing things
