VM 3 times
I've had VM 3 times. The first was when I was 18 (1983) shortly after a car accident & it was intense but resolved after about one week. The second time was in 2011, was a milder case but lasted a bit longer - around 10 days. This time has been worse. I was hospitalized twice after battling it for

Lyme's Disease
I have just been reading about Lyme's disease and the controversy about whether it could become a chronic disease if not diagnosed early. A lot of the symptoms overlap with autoimmune disease. I thought this was interesting. The biggest problems with infected ticks occur in The Highlands of Scotland

Week 6
Well I managed to get to week 6 with no repeat runs. Really enjoying it and couldn’t believe that I did run 3 on week 5, running non stop for 20 minutes. I was ecstatic given that prior to starting C25K I couldn’t run for more than 30 seconds. Week 6 started well however at the end of run 1 I noticed

Can Lyme disease cause thyroidism?
I saw a piece on TV some time ago where the founder of Phones4U developed hyperthyroidism after being infected with Lyme disease. Now 11 members of his family have Lyme disease and he's convinced it's passed from human to human as well as through ticks. Have any thyroid sufferers been exposed to infected

Bone marrow oepodema
Damaged my knee in late Feb by kneeling on ice/snow and have suffered with constant pain since, had X-ray, MRI, Physio, et al but to date it’s no better. Currently taking the usual cocktail of pain relief, NSAIDS etc but only suppressing symptoms. How long should this last without intervention

Boil burst internally. Freaking out at the idea of bacteria spreading.
Hello I just need some helpful advice I have so much health anxiety right now. I had noticed an almond shaped boil that was inflamed two days ago. I had not noticed it before but two days ago it was bigger about 2.5cm longways and 1cm width. It was not white it had no pus at the surface or anything so

Viral meningitis
I have just been discharged from hospital following a diagnosis of viral meningitis. My husband remains in hospital and is very poorly. I suspect that we have the same virus but cannot understand why he isn’t responding to treatment. He seems to be getting worse. Doctors are at a loss and are running

Goodbye kettles!
At last - a new gadget to replace a kettle! For years I have struggled with carrying a full kettle and/or pouring water from it. One solution was to use a small travel kettle, which is fine for just one cup but not much more. So I was thrilled to discover this hot water dispenser. You just use a light

Has anyone had surgery since being diagnosed with CKD? I am CKD 3. 53 years old. All others labs normal. I have a GFR of 53. Creatine of 1.32. I am scheduled for a hysterectomy. I have consulted with both my Renal Dr and my Gynecologist. They both say that it should not affect my numbers. I am also concerned

My cramps are gone
I've been on Imbruvica for well over one year and I have often had some really bad cramps, mostly at night. Lately I have developed boils. I don't like to take antibiotics, so I thought that if i started self treating the boils they would go away. Ha! Was I wrong. One of my boil treatments was to soak

New study - American large study showing that ovarian cancer patients taking aspirin or NSAIDs have a better survival rate

Cortisone wore off after 2 weeks?
I have inflammatory arthritis that my Rheumatologist says will eventually become RA. It's currently attacking my left knee, has been for months. I've been in PT since May and had a lot of improvement. I then had a cortisone injection at the beginning of July. The next 2 weeks were great. Then the pain

Any tips for my finger tips
Accidently posted this in a different group earlier- whoops! Sorry for the unpleasant photo! My nails have become really ridged and pale. Not sure if can see the ridges in the photo, but the ridges are like a darker colour than the nail and weirdly my nails seem to have an almost purple band at the
