BILOLOGICS TNF INHIBITORS
Hey fellow pain sufferers. So I was diagnosed with Spondyloarthitis/ Psoriatic arthritis on Monday. When discussing treatment options I asked about Biologic treatments as NSAIDs have never really worked for me. The rhuematologist told me that I am not eligible for them as my MRI did not show inflammation

Hi just looking for a bit of advice for analgesia. I've got NAFLD cirossis stage 4. I am suffering at the moment with a flare up of diverticulitis and need to take analgesia. I know NSAID's are a no no , but codeine is that ok ? I've looked around for info but not really found an answer.

Nutritionists?
My GFR is 38. I asked primary care doc for referral. He refused. He told me I only need avoid NSAIDS and salt. What do you think? I disagree. I do not think Medicare will pay for this when GFR is 50 or below if it was something that was not useful

Does shingles cause Hashimoto’s to flare up?
I have had Hashimoto’s now for about 3 years and I’m still finding it hard navigating my way through the symptoms and flare ups. I have suffered from very bad crippling anxiety over the last year and half which hasn’t helped with the lockdown and dealing a 4 year old and 1.5 year old while attempting

This was written by and published by the American Heart Association editorial staff and we've had a number of folks ask about taking the vaccine and still more dealing with HBP issues and this offers some sage advice/suggestions.

Back pain and surprises
Hey y’all!!! Now that I’ve recouped from family matters, I have yet another surprise. Been having low back pain for about 3 yrs. Managed with PT and NSAIDs for almost 2 years. Beginning of this year, pain just wouldn’t let up so I asked for meloxicam. Meloxicam worked amazingly well but was nixed after

Stress triggering meningitis
What are your thoughts on stress being a trigger for a viral infection and triggering viral meningitis and M.E? Do you think stress plays a contributing factor?

Cold Sores and Rituximab
Hi Everyone Great news about the very positive effect the vaccines are having on Covid cases - onwards and upwards. Does anyone have any ideas why I have had 4 cold sores in 4 or 5 weeks? They started before my Covid vaccine so it isn't that. I had my last round of Rituximab in November 2020 after
