New to community & this is my meningitis story
In October of 2014 I became ill with what I thought was the flu. My temp was 102.9 for about 24 hrs before going to an urgent care facility. I live in the US. While at the facility, I was taken to a room & was asked to submit a UA. Not long after a nurse came in & stated I had signs of a kidney infection

Worried about opiates
Hi, I have several ongoing, undiagnosed problems currently, the main one of which is abdominal pain for which I am on tramadol, buscapan and paracetamol. The group of pain killers that includes gabapentin won't work for this type of pain according to the docs and I am already on it for my back pain

Feeling Great!!!
Hi all. I cannot believe that I am feeling so good. I started out doing the "Paddison Program", about a month ago, which has totally stopped my pain and flares, and I'm now doing "The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)", by Mickey Trescott and Angie Alt. The changes I've made are all about the food I am putting

Rollercoaster of a Month
Thank you to everyone who commented on my kidney & NSAIDs post. Kidneys were given the ok, slightly inflamed but no damage. The aim was still to reduce NSAIDs but without an alternative, I was struggling and felt I wasn't getting the support. In the end I decided to change rheumatologist and so GP referred

Shingles Vaccination
Hi all could someone please tell me if you can have the shingles vaccination if you're on methotrexate as it's a live vaccine. My GP surgery keeps leaving messages to tell me I'm entitled to it. I know its awful but I just don't trust them to get it right.

Measles Killer: More Common than Believed
[i]A rare and universally fatal complication of measles is more common than clinicians had thought, a researcher said here. The disease is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) and in the pre-vaccine era investigators thought it occurred about one in 100,000 measles cases, according to James Cherry

It was started and is run by two victims of the disease, one of whom was treated for thyroid illness for many

Psoriatic Arthritis Pain Relief
Hello - I'm a newbie to this forum and wondering if anyone out there suffers from Psoriatic Arthritis? I have had this condition for 10 years, but never yet found anything that helps the pain, having tried NSAID's and co-codamol/solpadol without success. Have agreed with Rheumatologist not to go down
