Experiences with

Brain tumours (low-grade/mixed)

Some time ago however, I started getting some sudden pain (once I felt an electric current running through the back of my head; at age 40). After an MRI and CT Scan, it was found that I somehow

Hello everyone hope you all had a good holiday. As some might know I had a brain tumor removed in 2019. I've had some problems but I'm wounded if it could have triggered fibromyalgia. With all the pain and problems but I'm afraid that I'll sound like a nut job if I ask my doctor.????

Hello all, I'm new here. Feeling pretty scared facing this CKD diagnosis. Watching myself slowly get worse is really hard.
