GP and consultant not in agreement
Hi everyone, not been here for a while going through a lot of pain and not getting very far with GP and consultant. RA nurse sent fax to GP suggesting I get a steroid injection for painful and swollen hands, GP not happy to do this because of my diabetes, so told to double naproxen from 250mg twice

Seen Consultant
Since I was diagnosed with COPD in July this year, I have been asking my Nurse and GP to be referred to Consultant. Several times I asked them and they kept saying that they only refer when they can no longer manage disease. I had spirometry in July with the Nurse at GP's and it came up 73%. Inhalers

I'm week 10 of quiting on patches and have severe health anxiety. I'm still coughing up rubbish plus some blood anybody in the same boat?
I've been doctors loads of times had clear chest x ray etc and currently doing CBT for anxiety. I'm really having a rough time quiting.

Labyrinthitis - is this another side effect of PRV?
I am just recovering from three days of the most horrible imbalance I have ever experienced. It was so severe in the first few hours the world was spinning as if on a mad merry-go-round and impossible to stand, walk and difficult to think of right words to use when trying to speak. Even the slightest

Just been told I have emphysema.
Hi, new here, my GP admitted me to hospital last week because she thought I had clots on lung. Had CTPA scan and no clots, and first doctor said chest x-ray was fine apart from more air in lungs than normal. The next day consultant examined me and looked again at x-ray, said there are signs of emphysema
