Radiation fears

My symptoms are moderate (no pain in the arm or jaw etc) with just a tightening in the centre of the chest with very brisk uphill walking. The discomfort is actually worse when i am

The Rheumatology Saga Continues!
UPDATE..... Was offered an NHS Rheumatologist appointment today due to a late cancellation and I thought I'd take it rather than wait until February to see my Benenden Rheumatologist. I met a Dr Chung and he was absolutely lovely.....spent 45 mins running me through everything and checking my results

Bit old fashioned...
I discovered that a castor oil pack really helps with knee pain. It's horrible sticky oil, but it works topically (for me at least). I have bad memories of this stuff from my childhood. Any hint of sickness and out came the bottle. I would not recommend injesting it! š¤® it's better than the deep heat

Hyperinflated lungs
Hi everyone, new here, I'm in the UK. I recently had a chest x ray and was very surprised to here the results I am asthmatic, I do smoke but have managed to cut fine to 6 roll ups a day, I had done this before my chest x ray. Saw the Dr 2 weeks after the x ray and he just said my lungs are hyper inflated

Recurring chest infections and phlegmy cough
Hi, I have had asthma since I was a teenager and excema all my life. I am 57 years old. For most of my life, I have managed my asthma well. I was very sporty in my youth playing squash, badminton and tennis. I could go for very long walks with my dogs up until about 18mths ago. So I have always regarded

Does this sound like osteoarthritis - or something else?
Hi everyone, I wonder if I can please get some help. Iāve been experiencing widespread body pain for c.3 years. I initially put this down to the menopause and earlier this year I started to focus on my under active thyroid - Iām not yet optimally medicated for that (takes a while). In May I decided

Pneumonia
Hi. I had my follow up chest x-ray for pneumonia 3 weeks ago and the good news is that it's come back clear. I'm really pleased but I'm still coughing at night and feel a bit breathless in the mornings. I told the doctor when he rang me with the results and he said, the infection has gone but lungs take

Dry eye syndrome - and castor oil!
Some weeks ago someone posted they were using castor oil for dry eyes. I was rather sceptical that that was a good idea - it sounded as if they were putting it IN their eyes. Anyway - today I got a notification of this study of castor oil as a potential natural remedy for dry eyes: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com

My Tumour is shrinking
I am at the end of chemo cycle. In August my tumour was 1cm after I had the MRI. So 80% removed from right side of my brain. I have gone to 1cm to 1.5cm. In the three MRI's. My latest one has shunk so much I think it is now a 1/4 in size, comparing August mri to this mri. I am so pleased. I have

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2014. Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off prednisone but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare. I live in France and it seems PMR is not as common

High B12 - more tests needed?
My SO has several anaemia symptoms - pallor, breathlessness, fatigue, dizziness, nausea etc. GP says the bloodwork is OK despite family history of PA. Blood tests (GP & Medichecks) so far show haemoglobin & MCH a bit below range, haematocrit & MCH low but in range. Serum B12 is consistently high (latest

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

Good PMR specialist in Bristol/WestonSM?
GP diagnosed me with PMR in May 2022. I had difficulties reducing below 18mg so she referred me to a consultant at Bristol Royal Infirmary. He is very kind and sympathetic but refuses to confirm the diagnosis of PMR. He says I am too young - Iām 56 - and heās run every test in the book on me (MRI, PET

Follow up x-ray pneumonia
Hi everyone. I rang my surgery today to see if my follow up chest x-ray results were in. I had possible pneumonia diagnosed 4 weeks ago, apparently the 'possible' meant that the mass on my x-ray was tiny, anyway the surgery said my results were in and I had to make a telephone consultation appointment
