Temporal mandibular Jaw Joint Dysfunction
Hi I'm Nicky and I'm a 48 year old lady, my working back ground is of a Qualified Nurse, In 2005 I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism, and went into Thyrotoxic crash and I was having horrendous night sweats, I would wake up cold and my nightwear would be soaked, I can liken it to putting clothes on

home oxygen hose tangle
When I was first put on home oxygen three years ago, it was terrible. Everyone kept tripping over it and pulling my ears when they did. I swore I wasn’t going to have ears left. My husband is not the easiest going person and he complained constantly. I didn’t know what to do. My husband put the

Stem cell injection as pain management
I have suffered for years with osteoarthritis but it finally defeated me last spring. I was informed that I needed a new hip. In view of the long wait for surgery where I live (Canada) I began looking into alternatives that might at least give me some relief while waiting. Anti-inflammatory drugs made

Spinal Fusion at L5-S1
Alright so I have reached my breaking point in back pain I have done everything in my power to avoid surgery but I can't take the pain anymore!!! I've done epidurals, pain meds, nerve block meds, chiropractic, physical therapy, and I've even tried my own strengthening routine (after lots of research)

Boron for micrographia and any other Parkinson's symptoms
Later this week I will start taking boron and watching for improvement. I will update by Post the outcome of this test. "The compound also functions to improve a variety of cognitive skills including visual perception, concentration, short term memory, coordination, fine motor skills and logic."

Compression Fracture of L1 vertebrae and chronic back pain
Hello, first time posting here. Has anyone had ongoing severe chronic back pain from breaking their back? Four years ago a wave at the beach dumped me into the ground breaking my back (L1). It was classed as stable so I was put in a back brace for 5 months. It was excruciating pain. Even though my spinal

Osteopathic treatment
Hello, first time I've posted. I've had chronic back pain, now widespread pain for many years. I had a spinal fusion 6 years ago, successful at first, then 18 months later symptoms increased again. I've had all the usual Nhs treatment including caudal epidurals. I'm currently trying to reduce my meds

I just had to post this, unbelievable!!
DMSO, or dimethyl sulfoxide, seems to be a total miracle substance, but of course no money in it for big pharma. I am just looking on the net for more info. I am interested, after reading a post from another member, about using DMSO as a carrier for L'carnitine tartrate, to stimulate hair growth.

Agonising Upper Back Pain
Hi, I have had Pmr for 17 months now and am currently on 9mg Pred. I have developed almost crippling pain in my upper back, it feels like my ribs are sliding about and I keep getting stuck. I have had a Spinal Fusion in the past, so of course I am worried about this. I think I need an xray, but my GP

Masked Face
I wonder how successful we can be in retaining an expressive face. I have become worried about this and incorporate face exercises into my daily exercise routines and I'm amazed at how stiff my face feels. Has anyone had encouraging results?

I'm getting worse as every day passes by!
I need some help and advise.. I cannot believe that this is happening to me! I've gone from Athlete to invalid in less than two years. I can barely walk. Saw the Rheumatologist last week; he showed me the X-Rays of my Hips,, knees and ankles; they all show signs of degenerative Osteo Arthritis.

Joint replacement and allergies.
I apologise in advance for how long this post may become but I would value your views on this as I'm quite worried now. Over the past few years I have had both knees replaced due to extreme pain caused by having no cartilage left in them and bone rubbing bone. Before having the first one done I explained
