Wrist Fusion
Hello Everybody I have had RA for over twenty years now, although initially it seemed to be held in control with the use of DMARDS, including Methotrexate, Sulfasalazine, Leflunomide and Etanercept, all of these had to be discontinued because of side effects i.e, infections and low platelets/thrombocytopenia

Advice welcome PMR
After bing diagnosed with PMR in September 2021 I was started on Presdone 15mg. Tapered down slowly to 1mg. Then I started to get terrible pain in my thighs then the shoulder pain started again. I thought the pain in my thighs is due to having severe arthritis in my hip and waiting a hip replacement.

Back, Shoulder, Knee & Hand Joint Pain.
Hi, I had an X-Ray on both of my hands last April which confirmed I had Osteoarthritis in all of the joints in both of my hands. I have had shoulder pain in both of my shoulders for many years as my job is working on a computer. I started to have lower back pain in 2020 and always had pain in one knee

Mental function disappearing
Hello, please could I ask for your advice. I've had Hashimotos around a decade. Recently I cannot seem to get my dose around the sweet spot for TSH of 1. Last blood test it was at 5 on 100 levothyroxine. Just introduced a further 25 three times a week. As a result I am seriously struggling to cope with

Hello from a newbie
I'm new on here, having been diagnosed with bicuspid aortic stenosis. My consultant has told me I'm now ready for a valve replacement. I'd like to chat to others who have had an aortic valve replacement.

ELEVATED LABS AFTER SURGERY
I was diagnosed with MBC in the liver in March of 2019 and have been on Faslodex only since that time with stable scans and lab work. I fell 10/1 and fractured my femur near the hip. On 10/2 I had a partial left hip replacement. I missed my October oncology appointment and Faslodex shots. I saw the doctor

I have both GCA and PMR and am making slow and steady progress with pred reduction and am now on 7.5/7mg. I also use HRT patches which I am considering stopping.

Does anyone take HRT without menopause?
Following on from my previous post I've gone back over previous bloods. These were done 10 months ago so need re-doing but I'm wondering if the low estrogen has something to do with my short menstrual cycles and nonexistent libido. Does anyone here take OTC HRT? Is it something I should leave well

GP appt on Friday - what to ask?
Hi, following my post a few weeks ago, I have more test results and a follow-up appt on Friday with the lead GP. As mentioned, I've been offered anti-depressants more times than I can remember over the last 20 months since multi-nodular goitre was identified. I've gone on HRT to rule peri-menopause

Problems with podiatry insoles?
Hi All, a few weeks ago I managed to get podiatrist appointment due to the problems with my left foot (painful metatarsals, collapsed arch and toes spreading, big toe joint fused). I was really grateful to have a thorough examination and come away with some insoles which I really hoped would help. I

running after hip replacement - contd
I wrote a few days ago about my first post-op run. I had waited ten months but was reluctant to go back to square one so had started on week four. It went OK but the consensus seemed to be I should go back a bit. Setting off for run two I looked at the plans for earlier weeks but both mind and body rebelled

Can gabapentin be used to treat balance issues?
Months later, for unrelated reasons, I had a total
knee
replacement
, and following surgery I was given a prescription for 300 mg gabapentin. My normal gait returned, something I considered a coincidence until I stopped taking the medication and my balance problems returned.
