Moving the right way
Ralph was good this morning, not out of bed because he'd already had some work done, they changed the tracheotomy tube for a smaller one. Drs did their rounds and are going to tell SALT to not do the other tube through the nose and shock as they think in a few days it may not be necessary. His secretions

Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis
Good morning, hope you are all as well as can be. Can anyone tell me if they suffer from both fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis? I was diagnosed fibromyalgia early this year but have now been referred back to Rheumatology due to swelling and ongoing stiffness in my joints. I also suffer with groin pain

How to cope
I need to know why doctors are so afraid to prescribe effective pain medication to patients with no history of drug abuse when the patients pain is interfering with daily living needs such as bathing.

Am I right to suspect endometriosis and ask to see a private specialist?
I’m worrying I was wrong, asking to see an endometriosis specialist. What if I’m being dramatic or I’m just really sensitive to completely normal period pain. I have to take naproxen on the first day of my period cause when I used to not take it, my pain would get severe and I kept vomiting or feeling

Why don’t my Family understand what Fibro does to me?
Despite everything that I put in front of them and how much my GP has told my wife I still get sarcastic comments about when I just can’t push myself any further with doing things? I suppose it doesn’t help that in my 40’s I was almost ready to enter the over 40’s Bodybuilding novice championships! However

Pain Relief that isn’t opiate based. Help!
My stage 4 HGOC with mets on bowel (miliary disease) among other places and has now become painful. I was given morphine but it put me into bowel obstruction so I am now too scared to have any opiate based painkillers. Has anyone found any other pain relief that works and doesn’t slow the bowel?

Lanzaprozole and magnesium deficiency
Hi all, I was diagnosed with GCA in 2018. With the help and support of this group I came through some tough times, and will always be grateful for that. After a very gradual taper, I have now completed 13 months without prednisolone, and, fingers crossed, the GCA is still quiet. I am still having sub-cutaneous
