what next?
I was diagnosed with PMR five years ago and my gp kept me on Prednisolone for two years which resulted in a catalogue of side effects including glaucoma and cataracts. My diagnosis was confirmed as RA shortly after. I have been taking methotrexate successfully since. However my condition has worsened

Laxido - diarrhoea
hi there, I was suffering with constipation so my doctor prescribed Laxido. The label from the pharmacy said take one twice a day generally but if constipated you can take 6 in 1 hour. I took 5 in 1 hour last Saturday. Since then, I have loose stools/diarrhoea. I have bloating and cramps also. I thought

Tinnitus for six weeks for no reason
Hi, I've now had tinnitus for six weeks. It's very high pitched (like one of those sonic cat scarers) and sounds like it's in my head rather than in my ears. I've also had on and off daily headaches for nine weeks. Been to the docs and she doesn't care - said the headaches and tinnitus weren't related

AUS revision surgery?
I'm seeking advice on having a second AUS surgery. My background: I had a prostatectomy in 2016 and radiation a year later because the cancerous tumor had penetrated the sack. I have since had undetected PSA but have suffered with severe stress incontinence. I had AUS surgery in 2018 but it failed because

Cold water therapy
Hi everyone, Generally painkillers don't cut through my pain and they give me many side effects, so I am looking into alternatives. I was reading some research about cold water therapy helping with fibromyalgia and other autoimmune pain. I was wondering if anyone tried it for Endo?

Clonazepam, Oxy, Perampanel...oh my!
I've been to see Prof Walker who has prescribed me Clonazepam, if that doesn't work he wants me to try Targinact (Oxy) or Perampanel. I'd love to hear back from y'all with your experiences with these medications (positive or negative). [u]
Perampanel:

Duloxetine - cold turkey and afterwards?
One of my tasks in the New Year (after discussing with GP) was to decrease Duloxetine and possibly try something else as the hyperhidrosis side effects were becoming so problematical for me and, after working well for nigh-on 3 years they also now had reduced effectiveness at controlling my pain despite

Spike
So my Christmas present was a spike in my Tinnitus. It seem to lower then spike again until New Year when the spike has remained. Its driving me nuts. I had made an appt with Audiology dept but to be honest what can they do? I find reading about Tinnitus & people's experience quite overwhelming.
