Hi there. Just an introductory post. My name's Connor, I have FA, and I'm 24. I was diagnosed when I was 9, had spinal fusion surgery at 12/13, I started using a walking frame at 17, and went into a wheelchair at 20. I have a degree in accountancy, I don't work but I've done a bit volunteering. Now a

High 5HT blood labs
Hi. Has anyone ever had high levels of serotonin in their blood work? I am aware it is linked to carcinoid syndrome. However my 5HIAA urine came back negative so this is a bit precarious. Please weigh in, if you know anything about this. TIA.

Misdiagnosis?
A couple of months ago I was given a diagnosis of hypermobility syndrome and fibromyalgia after several years of trying to find out what was causing my various symptoms. Fibromyalgia had been brought up but then rejected in the past because of not reacting to pressure on certain points (and I still don't

Hospice-ask your doctor and look into it.
Our neurologist recommended hospice for my husband in dec 2018. My father was dying and put off until now. We met, he was approved and I can’t tell you how helpful after one visit -all within an hour and a half. His lift recliner had broken, we got a new one this afternoon. He will get a hospital bed

Knee or joint replacement or osteoarthritis
Before I can consider Ocrevus or similar drugs, I have osteoarthritis in my right knee. My knee can’t be straightened fully even with PT. I can no longer do yoga or Pilates. All my activities including walking are extremely exhausting and painful with my bad knee. It’s like I have two legs of different

Lupus and Fibromalgyia
Hi all I'm super new to this site. I was diagnosed 3 years ago and it's been downhill ever since. I'm now seeing a psychiatrist for my mental health and he suggested I go back to my rheumatologist and ask to be rechecked. He thinks I may have something else either Lupus or something else. I do contract

Pain 10 years after a spinal fusion L5/S1
Hi All, Has anyone suffered an overwhelming increase in back pain following a spinal fusion? I had mine 10 years ago now and although not 100%....had been doing alright in my retirement. I had been a nurse for 40 years and although I tried couldn’t return to work comfortably, so decided to take early

Joint Hypermobility Confusion
Hello! So I'll start off saying that I don't have EDS (at least not that I know of), so my apologies if this seems completely irrelevant. However, I have joint hypermobility, and with that comes pain in specific joints, muscle pain/tightness, and parts of my body frequently being "out of place" (i.e

Selegiline and the CHEESE REACTION
I've been taking Selegiline for the past two months and have had halfway decent results with it. Not great but slight improvement all around. I am taking 5mg two times per day. In recent weeks Ive been getting bad headaches, whereas I never got them in the past. After some careful figuring, I figured

Anaesthesia
For those for whom the matter is of any interest, I discovered that the anaesthetic used by Manchester Royal Eye Hospital is proxymetacaine (which they generally seem to just refer to as "proxy"). They do not "stock" tetracaine. I know some people, like me, are keen to know how effective the anaesthetic

Unexplained Chest Pains/Palpitations
I started having tachycardia 4 years ago. My heart rate would go up into the 170s. I've had several ECGs, blood work, CT Scan of the heart, stress test, holter monitor, Ziopatch and echo. Everything came back normal. I have been put on propranolol, metoprolol, and now Bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily since

Lumbar spinal stenosis with PSP?
My husband also was diagnosed with severe lumbar spinal stenosis and it was recommended he have spinal fusion. We are not going to do that at this point. Can't imagine adding that on top of everything else. The rehab would be nearly impossible. Someone else on this site (I can't find the post now) said

If you are Akinetic-rigidity Dominant PD then be aware of medications and supplements increasing Acetylcholine
⁉️Today I started taking celery seed extract and experienced an unprecedented dystonia. I searched and noticed; “Celery is a cholinesterase inhibitor. It inhibits the acetylcholinesterase enzyme from breaking down acetylcholine, thereby increasing both the level and duration of action of the neurotransmitter

Rapid Progression of CBD?
This is my first post, so I hope this isn't a tired worn-out subject. My husband, like so many, had a long delay in his CBD diagnosis, including two spinal fusions and a lot of other shenanigans starting back in 2014. He has been moderately healthy until this spring (his last surgery was in February

Cartiva implant
Hi I have osteoarthritis of the large toe joint & I had debridement surgery a few years. I’ve had steroid injections the lot & last year in May, I had the Cartiva joint replacement. I’m in so much pain still & told the surgery didn’t create a gap between the two bones. I suffer with nerve damage pain
