My story is a long one-I developed a squint and then mono-occularism around 5yrs otherwise fit and healthy though shy, quiet but determined. At the age of 13 I felt like someone had switched me on or woken me up but by 15 I had my first allergic response to food-Hovis wheat germ bread. I became muscular

Disability Allowance - Any Advice Please
Hi everybody. At a recent trip to hospital for my usual check ups a question was posed by one of the medical staff. “Are you getting Disability Allowance”? No I answered! “Well you should have a look at that” they replied “especially if you have had to stop work” So that got me thinking. I am 62, I

Pred dosage/PMR
I started on 15mg Pred on 15th Sept after an appointment with rheumatologist. He asked my GP to arrange a repeat blood test and an ANCA serum test along with a chest X-ray. I haven’t heard anything back from the surgery after I spoke to them a week ago and the GP said he would have to check up on it.

Covid and AF
Apologies if I posted this earlier. Despite countless jabs against covid (I am 79 ) and escaping the virus the past three and a half years I succumbed to the latest variant last Sunday 10th Dec. At first I thought it was just a heavy cold with a cough. Also I was thinking that I was more susceptible

COVID
Doea anyone have any advice. I had my ablation in September and a nurse told me not to have a flu jab or covid booster. I am now stuck at home with Covid. I am a little worried about it triggering AFib.

#1 Symptom Reducer
I am a PwP and 56 years old. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all of the information, sometimes conflicting, out there regarding treatments and supplements. I am trying to determine what to try first. I am a predominantly tremor parkie. I exercise regularly & eat well. I take levadopa 25/100 4x a day.

A little, very quiet, thumbs up 👍
Well, I've been keeping quiet about returning (again!) to C25K but I have just managed Week 4, Run 3 without any problems so I am HOPING I can finally get back on the trotting pony regularly now. After literally a whole year of Covid, colds, sinus and chest infections, PVF/Long Covid, post-Covid cough

Update on Rheumy visit
I explained we were following slow taper with approval of our wonderful gp (who she knows very well) and that we had stayed at 15mg for 7 weeks as my mum had
chest
infection
and we had stress of my niece wedding after which our gp suggested we reduce by 1mg per month which suited me perfectly.

PMR and Pfizer Covid Vaccine
Within 5 days of my husband and I receiving the first Pfizer Covid jab, he started getting pains in his legs and shoulders. He took paracetamol & used Bio Freeze, similar to deep heat. He got progressively worse, a GP diagnosed Frozen Shoulder over the phone, prescribed Co-Codamol & Naproxen. Within

Orphenadrine
My hwp had been using ophenadrine some time ago and stopped because of fears around using anticholinergics. However, his unrelenting battle with sciatica has me wondering if it might not be worth taking the risk. He is a well person in every other way, but the pain has him battling to do exercise. He
