What does remission mean (to you?)
Hi I'm new here and have had RA for the past year. I've been on NSAIDS, steroids, DMARDS, failed, so now also on benepali. Being on so many meds has made me think about whether any of these will eventually work and how that will look. I'm just curious about what the outcome has been for you all in general

Since then, I have had two incidents of "altered state"- total mental confusion. after not being able to sleep. The doctors at Banner accused me of drug overdose *um, no) amd were

RA, Gluten and Leaky Gut
I’m so very confused! I was diagnosed with RA and was given Naproxen (despite being given this before and no effect, they didnt listen to me) I’ve been asked to go on a gluten free diet, as Gluten may be my trigger. But does Naproxen has gluten in? Not only that, I have 9/10 symptoms of leaky gut..

Amiodarone and shingles vaccination
I had the flu vaccination and shingles vaccination 2 weeks ago just before coming to America to see some of my children. I had an ablation at the beginning of September which led to a chest infection. A week ago I started feeling a bit below par. Have some spots on my forehead and in my hair and stabbing

Meningitis c vaccine privately for babies?
Hello, so in the newest NHS vaccine schedule all babies receive the meningitis B vaccine. However, they have postponed the men c vaccine to 1 year now. I've read about a girl getting meningitis c before her first birthday though, so she would have been protected had the vaccines still been given at 12

Long term immune system and co concentration difficulties

NDT to Levothyroxine T4and T3
Hi, I am currently on 3 tablets of Thai NDT by T.R Mann. I was much better on 2 grains of Nature Throid but I just can’t afford to keep buying these expensive NDT’s. I have decided to try T4 and a small amount of T3 which works out a lot cheaper and is easier to get hold of. I treat myself as I have

Managing Symptoms and Experiences
My son's most common complaint is that his stomach hurts. He is on many medications and supplements so this is to be expected. I usually offer him rest and cuddles when he complains and a small snack to help with is belly pain. He often complains that his back hurts, but because of the advanced stage

What pain killers can I use after HA and stents
Is there really no solution for a chronic pain sufferer (back,shoulder and neck pain)who was on NSAID for 26 years. Had heart attack and 4 stents, now allowed NO NSAIDs. Quality of life is suffering more with the pain than the HA. Diclofenec was the most successful of the anti inflammatory s but I have

Is it safe for me if my wife has the live shingles vaccine?
I'm 72 and on W&W for 5 years. My wife is 71 and has low immunities and wants to have the live shingles vaccine available here in the UK. Her nurse says that Public Health England says she can have it and I'll be safe. If she gets a rash after the vaccination, which happens sometimes, she should
