Yesterday was results day.. a mixed bag
So I went back to Papworth yesterday to get my results of recent tests, have been left with mixed feelings really. CT scan showed no worsening since previous scan - air trapping and atelectasis with the obvious lung reduction from scoliosis but no evidence of bronchiectasis thankfully :) LFT's showed

Slipped disc - does an injection / spinal fusion really solve the problem?
Had back pain on and off for 5 yrs (had a few nasty falls in snow in 20s). 1 Sept 2012 had to call an ambulance as had sciatica, loss of bladder control and pelvic and back pain. Mri in hospital confirmed L4/L5 central prolapsed disc and degenerative disc disease. Also have Coeliac Disease (I like to

Is my almost wall to wall double vision a cause for concern?
Hi Everyone, When my dose was increased by Dr S in September my occasional double vision disappeared. Since my dose was cut in January by 25mcg it immediately came back. Of course I increased the Levo back, but have since gradually reduced to 150mcg Levo and have added 2 grains of Armour. Still have

Another form of exercise?
Morning runners I have had a badly pulled quad since the end of January which is improving but very slowly yesterday I just moved quickly to cross a road and was in agony and I need another safe form of exercises as I've put on five pounds through not running so do you have any thoughts ? I can't

balance
Has anyone been sent to see a nuerologist? My balance and co-ordination has become much worse over the last 2 yrs. I am exhausted just trying to concentrate on walking in a straight line. I also get episodes of double vision

Occlusal contact lenses
I have double vision in my left eye and need a very high grade prism in my glasses to correct this. For a while now I've been convinced that this has aided and abetted my balance problems. It seems to me that the tremor I experience with Ataxia makes my eyes involuntarily zigzag across the prism

Double and Blurred Vision
Hi Everyone, Should I be worried about double vision? My GP recently cut my dose and I felt awful. One of the many things that have returned is double vision. There is a shadow under objects and letters. I also get very blurry vision. This had improved since raising my meds from September to December

Nice surprise!
I thought I'd test my running shoes to see if I went sliding everywhere and to my complete surprise they didn't budge! Two things crossed my mind:hmm looks like I'm going to have to run for 25 minutes and secondly aha! but will I slip when running? Wow what an exhilarating run. Kept an eye on the path

ON OXYGEN - CAUSING MORE DRY SKIN
On the good advice of the Nurse, I have stopped the dryness in my nose with KY jelly. However, I have dry cracking on my lips but I don't know what to use as I was told lip balms have petroleum jelly in them. Does anyone have any ideas please? MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.

Spinal fusion????
HI i had a 70% L4/L5 discectomy 5 years ago and was told i would more than likely need a fusion in time, well that may be now as MRI shows problem with remaining disc and a trapped nerve that is causing constant pain any way i'm enquiring if any one else has gone through this and how the fibro is affected
