Allergic reaction to topical NSAID, not Afib!
Several months ago I joined this group because I had an elevated heart rate event that was diagnosed as Afib. My story follows: I believed I had had an allergic reaction to a topical NSAID. My heart rate went from my normal resting of 55 to 130 within an hour of applying a topical NSAID to my thumb

Shingles
I have been diagnosed with shingles. I noticed a rash on Thursday, however because it wasn’t hurting at all I didn’t think much of it which was very silly of me! I went to the doctor on yesterday as it was spreading and i was told it was shingles. I’m surprised that after now 6 days the rash is there

Shingles injection
I've finally made it down to 1/2mg every other day. My Doctor wants me to have the shingles injection. Does anyone know if this can cause an issue?? I've been reducing the pred for 2 1/2 yrs, very very slowly and haven't had a flare and don't want one at this stage. Appreciate any thoughts. many

Gastric Issues after Meningitis?
I am 8 months post meningitis. I am still struggling with after effects. Trembling, brain fog and numb spots. My question....Anyone have gastric issues? Diarrhea? Mine has been bad last week or so. Appetite has never been totally back to normal. I never can tell if new symptoms are meningitis related

PMR? or not PMR? - that is the question.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of alternative conditions that might be / have been misdiagnosed as PMR?. e.g there appears to be some evidence that Lyme disease may present the identical clinical picture as PMR.

Arginine Deprivation Therapy for PC
12 days ago, there was an interesting thread about Nitric-Oxide-Donating NSAIDs, which touched on Arginine. Apparently, some members take arginine supplements. I want to share what I’ve read online about arginine, and why I now avoid it. But first, full disclosure – I rarely post. I have no scientific

3 Months post viral meningitis
I’ve been a member for a few months now, trying to get advice from others or just to read everyone else’s stories. Here’s mine... The end of May I noticed I had swollen glands in the back of my neck and a bad headache. Took some ibuprofen and forgot about it. A few days later I was having neck pain along

Salt question ...
Hi All - I have NRH, and do everything I can to help my liver ...I don't drink, avoid NSAIDs, I exercise a lot, I'm a healthy weight and I eat clean. Actually my diet is almost completely single ingredient foods - the only two things I eat with any added salt are bread (2 slices a day) and mayonnaise

Nitric-Oxide-Donating NSAIDs.
New study below [1]. Seems an age since I last read about nitric-oxide-donating NSAIDs & a possible anti-cancer effect. First: is anyone using one? From a 2005 paper on a nitric-oxide-donating aspirin [2]: "Nitric-oxide-donating aspirin (NO-ASA), consisting of ASA (aspirin) plus an -ONO2 moiety linked

Second bout of VM?
I contracted viral meningitis caused by HSV 2 in April 2019. Luckily was only in hospital a couple of days and was able to go home once they got the headaches and pain under control. I was sent home and instructed to take almost 3 grams of Acyclovir for 10 days. After the 10 days my primary care dr
