Yesterday I was in London with my daughter who was having a spinal fusion. I had started my day very early as you do to get her checked in-she went to Theatre lunchtime so it was a long morning. Waited 5 hrs for her to return-they had probs controlling her pain 😢 Left her at 8pm to try to miss rush

Strange lump at side of toe.
Good day to you all. I wonder if anyone has seen or got anything like this lump that had come on the side of my big toe? I had a toe joint replacement there five years ago which improved things but I still get some pain there and my big toe and the one next to it have drifted over a bit. I have noticed

Living with Osteo
Hi, I have lived 30-odd years since my diagnosis and think I’ve been lucky in being able to avoid spinal fusion back then. Suddenly have developed crumbling jaw which means my teeth have started falling out!! My dentist has not mentioned anything about a connection but until I see her later this week

Early Retirement from Work.
Morning Everyone. I have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia/chronic pain syndrome. It has taken 4 years to get to this point as I also have spinal degeneration in my neck and lower back which was clouding the symptoms of the fibromyalgia. I had a spinal fusion on C4 C5 & C6 C7 last August but

Rate of Progression.
I know we are all unique and no two of us will have the same experience with Parkinson's disease. Still, I would appreciate any wisdom which more experienced people (5-10+ years post diagnosis) can provide. Did your disease progress in a fairly consistent manner or did it progress slowly at first and

Rheumatoid Arthritis & Actemra

Inulin - may help sleep and constipation
My daughter recently bought me some inulin to try as she had heard it can help you sleep. I can't honestly say it helped me sleep at the time, but a side effect is that it is helpful with bowel movements!! More recently I took some on holiday with me - for my bowels, and this time I do think it helped

Thank you for all the responses
I didn't mean to upset anyone. Yes I am from the US. This term, end stage, is new to me also. I have one of the best and well known RA docs. He as everyone else can or will not give precise enough explanation (for me) of what is coming. (I want to know worst case - best case) All ra patients are

Artane anyone?
Hi Everyone, My husband's worst symptom is dystonia in his toes - we are really trying to alleviate this so he can run once again. Botox (well actually it was Dysport that was given to use due to insurance) has not helped. Movement Specialist recommened Artane. I was wondering if I could have some

Eye Tests before and after GCA
Hello all. I developed PMR nearly two years ago and then GCA in February 2018, treated with Pred by infusion. Now down to 7mg / day. I've been reviewed by the eye hospital every 3-4 months and they've never been concerned about what they saw. My last eye test prior to GCA was about 5 years ago, since
