In so much pain and feeling poorly
Hi folks, Last Friday while squeazing the edge of the mattress into the corner of a fitted sheet I had an excruciating shooting pain across the middle of my back. After that I could barely do anything without serious pain. Ever since, I've been falling asleep all day, had nausea, bloating & painful

Burning sensation in esophagus
This is a random question. I recently took a painkiller (coated Nurophen) for a headache without water and suffered a burning sensation as a result in my esophgus. Not sure if this was because RA does have side effect of dry mouth sometimes or if my esophgus is now inflamed due to my RA but I’m continuing

surgery update: 5am, and after the clouds, the Sun!
hi all. Back! surgery went ahead, and my horrible tumour is now gone. It will be a while though before i dont need bandages, but….. It … is… gone! I managed to spend just one night in hospital, and shocked I think everyone by recovering from a pretty heavy anaesthetic in almost record time. Medical

Wish I hadn’t got Fibro diagnosis. Doctors won’t listen now
I’ve had back trouble since my early twenties. I’m in my 50s now. From time to time I put my back out. I usually get stronger painkillers for a week or so until my back rights itself. Now I have a fibromyalgia diagnosis doctor will not give me anything at all. I’m stuck in bed. Can’t move can’t sleep

Newly diagnosed PMR
Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with PMR as recently as Friday 20th October 2 days after my 58th birthday. My symptoms started in July with neck pain which quickly spread till I was in so much pain, I couldn't get up the stairs without a handrail. My Inflammation levels in August were 16 which is why

Zapain analgesic
Hi I have recently managed to stop my pred after decreasing by 1mg every couple of months and finally by 0.5 -0mg. This took me about a year I would say down from 9mg. My question is regarding Zapain 30/500 … I have been getting stiffness and pains in all my muscles but I don’t know if it is the polymyalgia

PMR UPDATE
Just get you up to speed. I found that 15mg of pred was relieving pain I had been experiencing for a year. I did not believe it was PMR because it presented differently then the last time. The pain is not bilateral. But my inflamation marks have been high for a long time. The relief has been so amazing

Vibrating Sensation
Hi Everyone First time writing, please forgive any mistakes I make I suffer terrible brain fog. This may seem like a weird question but does anyone on here suffer a vibrating sensation throughout their body? The best way I can describe what I have is a vibrating sensation, I have spoken to GP

confused diagnosis
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2019 by a Reumotologist whom during my appointment when through in detail with the symptoms and suggested treatments medically and non medical. But in 2023 I saw another Reumotologist who told me that it wasn’t fibromyalgia but low grade Rheumatoid arthritis because

good morning
I am currently being treated for latent TB with Rifampin and on prednisone 6mg. I was doing so so well before this new med and it seems rifampin decreases the effects of prednisone which I’ve noticed so much lately! Ugh! I feel as if I’m back to square 1 with the PMR. Is anyone aware of how much I

Nausea wristbands?
Hi! Has anyone tried and had any luck with using those travel pressure points wristbands normally used for travel sickness? I often feel nauseous, usually for the first few hours of the day and have tried ginger, painkillers, sleep and eating with no luck! Thanks in advance

40mg melatonin 1 night
Dad accidentally took 40mg of melatonin last night (4 pills, 10mg each). He thought they were pain killers. Ugh. He already has insomnia, severe sleep apnea, neck and back pain + nerve pain. Is 40mg of melatonin in one night life threatening????? Should I be concerned? He's moving. But complaining

Monocular Vision Pain
Good evening, I lost sight in my right eye from a freak accident in January. I'm having constant eye pain in the good eye, I have seen many consultants that have examined the eye and unable to identify anything that could be causing the pain. I use eye drops daily, eye gel and many pain killers

How to escape Augmentation?
I only learnt about Health Unlocked and its efforts on RLS through RLS -UK and this is my first post. I have suffered from RLS for several years and various doctors have prescribed all the general medicines starting with antidepressants (amitriptyline, mirtazapine, imipramine, and citralopram), dopramine
