Hello everyone I have been away for 4 weeks so am catching up at the moment. I have had PMR for 7 yrs am on 10g pred, propranolol , thyroxin
and amitriptilyne 20gs. However recently I find that if I take amitryptiline after 7 30pm I wake in the night having hallucinations which is quite disturbing. Is any one else taking this med and getting the same problem I am fine if I take it on time.Thank you all for your helpful tips in the past Kathy

Why do doctors keep refering to 'temporal' arteritis instead of using the term 'giant cell' arteritis?
I read that giant cells can inflame any artery, causing lesions, blockages and damage to vital organs which can result in disability or death. This title is a misnomer and should be challenged! My very ignorant GP said I need only be concerned about having GCA headaches. When I said I had heart pain

Daughter and ovarian cysts at 20 years of age
Im in quite a state today about my Daughter. She has had a brown discharge continuously for 1 year. She went to the doctors who put her on the pill for 3 months. This lessened it but it didnt go away. She went back to the doctor and they ordered a scan which of course she had to wait for. Once that

I have a severe case of Endometriosis and I've been thinking of getting an Oophorectomy and I'm only 20yo
I have tried so much to get my pain to settle down (herbals, medication, birth control, surgery) and nothing is helping. The birth control makes me worse. The surgery didn't keep the pain away. Herbals did nothing. And now I'm desperate to be pain-free. It's hard to live life because my Endometriosis

Have you had a Hysterectomy with ovary removal and Endo has returned?
Hi As the title says: Have you had a Hysterectomy and endo and pain has returned? I had a Radical Hysterectomy in June 2012 - which included womb and both ovary removal etc. I didn't start taking HRT - Livial until after a year later. The last 3 days I've been having the old familiar burning pains in

I have Giant Cell Arteritis and am reducing Prednisolone. Does anyone have terrible 'hot flushes' and itchy patches on skin?
Can anyone provide any remedial therapies for the above and if I can get completely off Prednisolone, will the 'hot flushes' stop.

Endometriosis pain after hysterectomy and oophorectomy - Is there anything that can help or am I stuck with the pain forever?
I have had a radical hysterectomy and oophorectomy last September. I was initially put on HRT patches when I came out of surgery - I noticed that I felt better as the patch was wearing off. After a couple of weeks I ditched them altogether. At that point I was coping with the menopausal symptoms. By

On zoladex again!!!!
I've had endo since I was 17 although it wasn't diagnosed until I was 24. I am now 37 and have just had my first new round of zoladex today, I've been having zoladex since 2001 and it doesn't get any easier. I am now on the waiting list for an oophorectomy, my left ovary is definitely being removed,
