Possible flare
Hi all, I reduced my steroids from 9mg to 8mg on 4th Feb. The last three days I have suffered from head pain which does not improve with paracetamol. I have spoken to doctor asking if I should increase steroids who advised me to stay on 8mg as pain is not around temporals and to increase amitriptyline

Checkup of multinodular goitre at ENT
I have a checkup of my multinodular goitre at the end of Feb 2023 and I would like some advice please on what to be asking when I’m there. When it was identified almost two years ago I went on the 2ww . Thankfully it wasn’t cancer but I was so worried I didn’t ask many questions. Further info/Background

struggling with neck pain :( help pls!
I first was diagnosed with fibromyalgia back in 2020 when I started having aches and pains in neck shoulders feeling tired all the time, funny heads as I used to call them, memory issues, stressed all the time and really deflated about everything. I could never relax and always overthink everything.

PMR/GCA or not
I went to Kings College hospital last week for a long delayed appointment with a Rheumy. To be told straightaway that I don't have PMR/GCA and that I should come off Pred ASAP (because of the horrific side effects.) Inflammation markers don't support the diagnosis, no PET or CT scan done, that there

Ferrocalm probiotic
Hi there. Has anyone else heard about Ferrocalm, which was launched recently as an alternative probiotic? I’ve been taking a cheap one for quite a while but I don’t think it helps. Was about to switch to Alflorex, which a few of you on this site have recommended, but then saw an article about the

Amitriptyline: could abdominal pain be a side effect?
I haven't posted a question for quite a while. I have been prescribed Amitriptyline to reduce the neuropathic pain in my left leg as I was refused surgery to restore the circulation to my legs, on grounds of an unacceptable risk level. I take 20mg nightly as at that level the usual side effects are

Amitriptyline interaction with Levothyroxine
I have been taking Levothyroxine 100mg for an under active thyroid for years, a recent blood test now shows over replacement. I am now taking 75mg. I have also been prescribed Amitriptyline 10mg, which I am concerned will counteract the new reduction in my Levothyroxine mediation. Can anyone help?

Migraine link?
My partner has had migraine for years and when we got together he was on 80 mg of amitriptyline a day and still had attacks where he ended up taking a triptan. He is now off the amitriptyline and no worse. He is constantly 'heading off' attacks with a cold cloth and Anadin. Sometimes it works, but often

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

Migraine Medication
Hi - I suffer from migraine. At the moment I get them every other week. I have tried amitriptyline, nortriptyline, topirimate etc but can't tolerate these drugs. I now use rizatriptan when the migraine starts and it does stop it though it often comes back and I have to take a second and sometimes a third

Having such a difficult time and not sure what to do
I had a laparoscopy in Sept 2021 after years of struggling with pain and periods. The surgeon said (pre op) there was a cyst on one ovary but didn’t think it was endometriosis but would remove and see if it helped. During the operation he found endometriosis, removed the right ovary and tube and said

PMR – A newly diagnosed story so far
Warning – This is a bit long and you may find it boring! I wanted to share my recent experiences as someone who has only recently begun the PMR experience. I am a 55 year old man who shouldn’t get Polymyalgia….right?? When my pain began late in 2022 I had no idea what it might be and put off going

A long post - How medication was ruining my life, not making me better! Reassurance for anyone concerned about stopping medication.
Hi ladies. A very Happy New Year to you all! I am hoping that 2023 treats you all with improved health and a wealth of happiness. I have seen a lot of posts recently appearing on my feed regarding treatments and hormones, and so I just wanted to share my recent experience of stopping all treatments.
