Hip Replacement Revision
I have both osteo and psoriatic arthritis,
degenerative
disc
disease
, osteoporosis, (-3.2) and a Grade 1 Spndylolistheseis, Sjorgren's Syndrome, (plus Crohn’s Disease). In 2012 I had an extremely severe flare of the Crohn’s and around the same time my hips began to seize up, (literally).

Insomnia and sleep clinics
I'm overweight, have PCOS and
Degenerative
Disc
Disease
among other bits and bobs - I know insomnia can be linked to all of the above. I'm currently sleeping for 2-3hrs, but in the afternoon!! I'm not able to get to sleep through the night so I'm having to have naps when I finish work.

Valproate: new safety and educational materials to support regulatory measures in men and women under 55 years of age
I don't think there is any reason to expect many members to be taking any form of Valproate, but this is such an important issue, with such significant consequences, I've decided to post it anyway. Even if you are not taking it, someone you know might be. [i]

Hi all, I’m suppose to be starting belimumab infusions next week, however there is a shortage in the medication so I’m just waiting for a new date I’m on all the usual medication for lupus but nothing seems to be working, I have had rituximab last year and the first lot lasted 5 months which was great

repost - cancer progression - next steps?
I am reposting in the hope of receiving a response regarding best next steps. Please see my profile for history on my dad's condition. He went to the ER last weekend with severe flank pain and CT revealed left-sided hydronephrosis as likely cystic soft tissue mass obstructing the left ureter. An anterograde

A few Things ….
1. I had an ACTH test yesterday as my recent cortisol level was low. I was told my TSH would be tested but not T4 and T3. However when I got there, it was a full thyroid profile being done. I had breakfast in the morning but no caffeine. I had a small bowl of plain porridge and nothing else, except water

Hi - and welcome! My name is Donna - I facilitate this support group for The PBC Foundation - Health Unlocked. If you are new to your diagnosis, first of all, take a breath. It’s ok. We all, myself included, have been exactly where you are right now…. scared, unsure, mad, sad, and so much more. Stop

Discomfort
Hi all. I'm getting discomfort in my upper abdomen. It's not pain exactly but it's uncomfortable. It's like IBS, which I suffer with, but can't take peppermint oil anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? It's not bloated like I had when I was diagnosed with cirrhosis. Apart from this

burning tongue
recently my usual anti inflammatory tablets were not available so they switched me to CELECOXIB. There is a side effect where you can get sores in your mouth. It did seem like I had small ulcers at tip of tongue but my whole mouth burned and the side of my tongue looked bumpy and swollen slightly.

Gasoline?
A question for anyone who has found an answer... From 2018, when diagnosed, I have been told by doctors, urologists and oncologists that; "Testosterone, in prostate cancer, is like gasoline on a fire!" When I first heard this it seemed dubious since what I "knew" about PCa was that young men with

Pregabalin and Linaclotide
There's a bit out there in the posts but it would be good to hear from anyone with experience of either of these. GP can't prescribe me linaclotide: blocked due to a record of IBD (i.e. Crohn's that I have/had -no physical signs, long story). So I get the P and a followup visit to see if that works and
