Just a quick update
I thought I had done this a couple weeks ago but I can't seem to find my post anywhere... I had the visit to the rheumy and many other visits with other specialists. Seems all is good so far with a few suprises. My ANA was positive at 1:80 and speckeled pattern. I also tested positive for Lyme

A strange immune anomaly
I have just been diagnosed with Hughes Syndrome in the last 2 months. I am 48 yo. Have many of the general symptoms so I won't go into detail here, but it occurred to me as I laid in the hospital for the last 25 out of 30 days, I wonder if that Rubella Titer is due to this. Everytime for my physicals

Do my symptoms sound like it could be APLS? Just sent bloodwork in. Trying to figure out what has been wrong with me for over 3 years!
My arms turn purple and get tight, cold and weak when I do physical activities or stand. I'm always lightheaded and have trouble with thinking and memory. I have not had a stroke or major hospitalization from a blood clot. Is it possible to have "small" blood clots that cause cumulative damage but

Pain management
Not actually about asthma although the asthma is a reason it is a problem. I get from time to time kidney stones, since my asthma has taken a turn for the worse this is a problem as I can't use the powerful pain killers (Morphoine type things) I used to use cos in the dosage needed to have any effect

Advice on superficial phylebiti & Ibuprofen gel
I've got superficial phylebitis. I've had it a few weeks now. Unfortunately it got infected so i had to take a course of antibiotics. It was so painful last friday i had to go to A&E where they tested me for DVT. Luckily it came back clear but the only way it can clear up quicker is by taking anti-inflammatorys

Spirometry
Hello everyone I just joined the forum today. I wonder if anyone has had experience of being told that their spirometry age is far younger than their actual age? I'm very confused at the moment. Was diagnosed with asthma and bronchiectasis 3 years ago after really bad chest and two weeks of solid

NSAID alternatives
Hello guys, just thought I'd pick your brains. NSAIDs set off my asthma, but I find that paracaetamol doesn't really deal with muscle pain very well. Does anyone know of any alternatives I could take that don't fall under the NSAID class? Preferably over the counter, but prescribed if otherwise...

Painkillers and Asthma
Can anyone suggest painkillers that are 'safe' to use with asthma (either over the counter or that I could speak to my GP about)? I can't use NSAIDs as they seem to exacerbate my asthma (not immediately, but I definitely get more breathless and more of a cough about an hour after - and since my asthma

Voltarol/NSAID pain relief gels
Hey, just after some clarification and thought some of you may have the answers :) So I have an old shoulder injury (lots of dislocations followed by an operation to stabilise the joint) that has flared up over the last 10 days - your typical over the counter pain meds are not really touching it so

Drug Allergies
Just looking for a little reassurance as well as others' experiences. I was wondering how common drug allergies are and if they're more common in individuals with asthma? I've always known I'm allergic to Aspirin and NSAIDs, but when in hospital recently, I had an allergic reaction to another IV drug

I have replied

Has anyone become sensitive to ibuprofen etc when they used to be ok with it?
Just curious if anyone has developed a sensitivity when they were ok with NSAIDs before? Thought I was fine with it, but have had this flare-up for nearly two weeks now, using loads of reliever, slower walking etc - I feel I'm slipping back to how I used to be with no control at all. I wondered about
