how to improve appetite/consume more calories. Pls help!
My heart is broken. My dad’s cancer had progressed, he has started chemo but overall is very unwell. He’s lost almost 30 pounds in the last few months and is having a lot of pain. We have to help him with getting out of the bed and at times putting on his shoes and clothes. All the pain medicine he used

Unexplained headaches
Had to see a private rheumie earlier this year for PMR diagnosis as nhs rheumie and GP were trying to say I had fibromyalgia. Was told to start on 10mgs of pred for one week and if that didn’t help was to increase to 15mgs and start on usual nhs method of tapering. I did have to go to the 15 mgs and

gallbladder post surgery
I’m recovering from gallbladder surgery, the op was a breeze and no more pain, I’ve stopped with the painkillers as they just made me dizzy , my bowels have been a bit all over but seem to be settling down and hope it was just down to anesthetic.

Ateritis, arthritis... how to make friends and family recognise the difference!

Very frustrating when they come back with "Oh, yes, my

PEG/RIG feeding tubes
Hi chaps, question for you. My wife has now had MSA since 2016 so is a fair way into it. She has the usual problems and is now too late for PEG tubes, however, it still might be possible for a RIG set up. She no longer eats much so I make her diet high in calories etc, drinking is sort of ok for now.

Best Arthur description I’ve read!
Why couldn’t I push through the
pain
and fatigue? I thought, ‘it’s just
arthritis
’, ‘I’m too young for it to be anything serious’, and ‘I look perfectly fine’. But in reality, I was now living with an autoimmune disease and it was doing things inside me that I couldn’t ignore.

Benefits of knowing your illness/condition/disease to help others as well as yourself
It’s about time I posted that a couple of months ago my husband was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis. I was somewhat overwhelmed by the diagnosis having had PMR, GCA/LVV myself over the past 5 and a half years and haven’t, until now, felt ready to share his story on the forum.

I have chronic myeloproliferative disease - between ET & prefibrotic myelofibrosis, on HU 500mg per day and 1000mg on Sundays, plus 75mg Aspirin. This is of course on top of all my usual pain medication. I was undiagnosed for 5years until this year in May, my high platelet levels were picked up by chance

Gallstones
Hello again 👋 Well I didn't expect this! I'm just out of A&E after a gallstone attack. Excruciating, until the morphine kicked in. I've been given strong painkillers and antibiotics. I'm a bit miffed, as I've been following a Low Fodmap, anti- inflammatory, pescatarian diet for as long as I can remember
