ibs-d and facing surgery
I’m having a knee replacement on Wednesday and worried about my ibs-d as bad at the mo. I’m taking loperamide but worried that if I take too many with the combination of strong painkillers I’ll end up constipated. Also concerned that as im having an epidural I wont be able to feel if I need to go😩

Bit of a Vent
(Warning: I mention infertility a bit) Hi everyone, My suspected endometriosis has been getting worse and worse, especially after I’ve been put on the implant. I had to go to A&E for the doctor to tell me he didn’t even think morphine would help with my pain… I’ve had to take so many sick days from

Versus arthritis leaflet on steroids and PMR
I picked up a leaflet/booklet from Versus Arthritis about Steroid tablets in a hospital the other day and I think it would be useful particularly to those new to PMR/taking steroids. An updated new version is available free to download or you can order a free paper copy from them via their website.

I am tapering down prednisone, under specialist advise, at 6mg for one month, alternate 5mg/6mg, then 5 mg over a three month period. I still have pain and have told him so but he wants to try this tapering regime. I’m also on weekly 10mg of methotrexate (on this for three months). I have to trust

Any coming back from this?
Here’s a summary of my father’s situation since he was diagnosed last year in May 2022. I used all of his clinical reports to create this, but you can see my previous posts as well. He’s only 60 years old today - 59 at the time of diagnosis. May 2022: Diagnosed with high burden prostate cancer (Gleason

Possible endo/rejected referrals
Hi everyone. I'm new here but wondered whether anyone has had a similar experience to me. A few years ago I was on the contraceptive pill, when I noticed that my periods were getting later and later. I used to get the normal bleed during the seven day break of not taking the pill, but then I started

Very sore and swollen hands. Is it possible I now have rheumatoid arthritis?
Hello 👋 😊 I have really sore hands. Particularly thumb/wrist joint on both hands and swollen little finger on right hand. Three or four finger joint too. My GP has done blood tests over several years and said it Osteoarthritis, not rheumatoid. Over the past 3 months I have had a couple of episodes

Numbness in feet
I have under function of thyroid glands and also osteoarthritis for a number of years. Since over a year I notice that the ball of my feet as well as the back of my toes feel 'numb', especially first thing in the morning when I wake up. Sometimes this sensation is also there during the night. Rather
