I have already put all my details down. Also it says Mother’s side/ Fathers side circle as appropriate

Doing well but....
Have posted before. On 4mg Pred for PMR. Went off for 2 weeks but symptoms were returning. So went back on low dose. No pains now. According to one reply, they thought might be Pred. Withdrawal. Is there such a thing? I know - I’m not as knowledgeable as I could be. I just don’t have patience to study

Recently diagnosed AN
Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with a relatively small (3mm) AN. Only notable symptom to date is pulsative tinnitus (mainly in the evenings), occasionally feel unsteady on my feet (suffered from Labyrinthitis a few months ago, so wonder if more a psychological issue) & audiology test shows irregularity

Doing better.
Hello all! I hope you’re all well and having a good day! Been on Setraline for just over 2 weeks now. They seem to be helping. I’m more motivated already and want to keep busy. My intrusive thoughts have gotten a little better, they aren’t coming on as strong as they were but I’m still going to make

Pre conception counselling
So mid August I am having some preconception counselling with regards to possibly having baby number 2. Is there anything people think I should ask specifically?

New Me
A couple years ago I posted that I was suffering from very strong thoughts of killing myself. Since then my progress in finding a new me and life has been solely based on the fact that I’m worthy of life. No matter how cold and dark it may seem there’s always a silver lining and beyond that you will

The most important piece of the puzzle?
We all wrack our brains trying to figure out how we wound up with Parkinson's. Well water? Mercury toxicity? Lead paint? Roundup? Too much LSD in the 60s? The other day I was talking about my condition with my mom, and she asked me if Parkinson's disease is hereditary. I said it can be, but no one else

Thyroidectomy?
Hi all— I have Hashimotos, hypothyroidism, and about 9 nodules on my thyroid, and I’m on 100mcg of levo. One my my nodules is indeterminable and came back suspicious from genetic testing such that I have a 50% chance of having thyroid cancer. Two endocrinologists have recommended I have a thyroidectomy

Parkinson Therapy Center in Italy
I highly recommend the Parkinson Therapy Center located in Northern Italy, in the spa town of Boario Terme, in a scenic valley of the lake region, at the foot of the Alps. Classes were small, 3 to 4 patients plus spouses in attendance, conducted in English, animated by a positive and friendly staff

Positive results from chemo (Docetaxel) & some questions
Hi, we just finished our 5th out of 6 chemo session today (almost there)! Apart from experiencing fatigue, diarrhea, joint pains for about a week after chemo infusion (docetaxel/taxotere), hubby is tolerating it very well. PSA has gone down from 2.2 prior to chemo to 0.65 just before our 5th cycle. He
