Feeling forced to take pain medication
For nearly 15 years I have refused to take any pain relief except from paracetamol this was mainly due to being a single parent with 4 very young boys and didn’t want to not be in control of myself or become dependent on any form of pain relief. 2 years ago I was in a really bad way regarding the amount

Fibromyalgia and Lisfranc
Hi , I’m looking help regarding medication or health alternatives to manage pain. Here’s a bit of background after years of going to doctor I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in March 2020. In one way it was a relief because I honestly though I was going round the bend and I think my family though

Bowel trouble post laparoscopy.
Hello, I underwent diagnosis laparoscopy for endometriosis on Thursday morning and am recovering at home having had stage 1 endometriosis removed from my bladder. Feeling rather tender from the procedure as you can imagine and have been given co-codamol as painkillers. However, this has of course effected

Unexplained Leg and Thigh Pain

Help with unexplained weight loss
Hello all, I am waiting upon the fitting of an ICD. In the meantime, as a type II diabetic, I have been having terrible problems with my guts. Lost 20lbs in just a month. Seems my medications had pushed me into Ketosis which probably is the cause. This came on top of painful cramps and griping in my

Cerrelle constant bleeding
I was given the progesterone only pill because I can’t take the combination pill as I have aurora migraines and it increases the risk of stroke. Well I have been bleeding constantly for two weeks. I’ve been on it for 5 weeks. I can handle the annoyance of a constant period but not the pain and discomfort

Please help. Where do I go next?
I had my first gynaecology appointment this morning and have come away feeling like I haven’t been listened to and my symptoms are not real. I am considering my next steps and whether to go back to my GP. I had been waiting 1.5 years for this appointment and feel very upset that I may now not get any

Is it a flare?
Diagnosed last September and have been able to lead a fairly normal life since apart from stiffness and tiredness. Had got down to 11 mg tapering slowly until this morning when I got out of bed and felt as if someone was sticking red hot knives into my left hip. I can honestly say it’s the worst pain

Symptoms abate when the immune system has something else to deal with ?
Hi. I’ve broken my ankle and was expecting that with the PMR too, using crutches was going to be very painful with my shoulders and also shuffling upstairs on my bum using good leg and arms for leverage. In fact. I’ve not felt a twinge from PMR since doing it two weeks ago today. I’ve stayed on my

Are my expectations too high?
I was diagnosed 15 months ago. I was started on prednisolone then added methotrexate then sulfasalazine then abatacept. I am now taking all four plus co codamol and naproxen occasionally. I would have expected to be able to function but my hands are still very stiff and painful and am very fatigued.

Online doctor's service ordered to pay £13k for providing unregistered services
We often see members asking about pharmacies which offer some form of consultation before prescribing and supplying prescription-only or pharmacy medicines. This story is about one with a very questionable way of working:
