Recently diagnosed brainstem cavernoma
I have double vision and numbness down the left hand side. I have had a recent bleed in the brain stem and have been told by my neurosurgeon in south africa that it is inoperable. Any advice? Anyone else in a similar situation? Will rest help with bleed and swelling in the brain? How long will it

joint
replacement, ect, however it's usless as I'm so young and the doctor does not recommend them. Really would appreciate it, thanks!

Why do I have Lupus APS?
Did anyone develop APS after having a joint replacement? I got my hip replaced several years ago and it ended up being recalled. I think that me getting APS has something to do with metals being released into my blood stream.

Introducing myself
I'll try and keep this short......in May 2012 I was under a huge amount of stress in my job and developed dreadful pain in my shoulders and upper arms - three days in I couldn't dress myself. Long story short my osteopath diagnosed PMR and of course my GP tested for everything else but that. In desperation

Fisetin for PD
Here's a single-case study involving Fisetin (found in strawberries, apples, and onions) that improved symptoms: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22846082 "The basic diet alone failed to prevent decline due to PD. In 2009, the basic diet was enhanced with a good dietary source of both fisetin and

Spinal Fusion Surgery
I am a 78 year old female with fractures of T-12 L1,2,3,4. I also have severe Osteoporosis, degenerative disc. Fracture was 2 years ago with no healing. Surgery is recommended. What are your suggestions. I really don't want to do this, but am open to other observations.

Neuropathy Relief at Night
Hello, is anyone even active on this forum yet? I have neuropathy that is painful at night. I used to get around the pain quite easily by taking the following . 5mg oxycodone, (sometimes 10mg), lidocaine 5% cream, Lyrica ( 400mg) I could escape the pain entirely or go from a 9 down to a 2 in a couple

EDS and claiming disability.
This is a post on behalf of a friend of mine. She suffers EDS hypermobility type and is rapidly going downhill. Walking has become a struggle as she only has one ligament left in either ankle and her joints dislocate on the frequent. She is working but it's becoming increasingly difficult and I was wondering

Rasagiline or Selegiline?
I was diagnosed with PD eight months ago and was put on sinemet (12.5/50) three tablets 3 times daily. I still have some tremor and other problems. My worst are painful muscles when walking. Today I saw a new Parkinson's Nurse and she suggested that an MAO-B inhibitor might suit me better ie Rasagiline

Flexibility isn't always a bonus
I was diagnosed with Hypermobility (Beighton score of 9), at the age of around 11. Now at age 19, it wanted to take over my life. However, with my own determination, I am trying not to let it win. Despite the daily struggle of pain, sublaxicating/dislocating joints, it will not win, at least not as easy

Hello everyone, I have finally had an assessment for a Pulmonary Rehabilitation in my local area, after a year on the waiting list.
As I am a joint hypermobility syndrome (Ehlers-Danlos III) sufferer, I am anxious about the repetitive type exercises that I will be doing on this course, which will be 2 mornings per week soon. I mentioned this to one of the physios and they said that people will do what they can manage - HOWEVER -
