cellulitis
I’ve been diagnosed today with cellulitis - never had it before and knew nothing about it so it’s all been a bit of a shock. I’ve been prescribed Flucloxacillin but unfortunately, by the time I was discharged from Urgent Care, the hospital pharmacy was closed so I can’t start them until the morning

shingles vax
I’ve tapered down to 5mg of prednisone over the last 8 months and so far my PMR is at acceptably low levels. I’ve been offered the shingles vaccine and wondering whether to have it. What is your advice?

internal shingles
hi, I’ve been diagnosed with internal shingles and it’s the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I’m on my last day of Aciclovir, I’m taking paracetamol and codeine during the day and 3 amitriptyline at night, this has been going on for over a week. Is this normal? Any advice gladly accepted

Another update on hubby
They took him off sedation, he was shaking after 20 minutes, not all the time. Dr says not fitting so not epilepsy, so no eeg at this stage. After another 30 mins he stopped shaking. Then the so and so went to sleep, lol. They've sedated him again now, but only on half amount so will be easier tomorrow

Brain imaging for FND?
So according to Neurosymptoms.org there is "Brain Imaging and other studies starting to show us how and why the nervous system goes wrong" (see image; screenshot from website). Has anyone experienced this as part of their diagnosis or ongoing investigation? I'm still flabbergasted after being told

Dog bite not on my Xmas list
So… today, while walking my Old English Sheepdog, three dogs escaped from their leashes and one of them bit my leg. They also tried to bite my dog but because most of her is fur they didn’t reach flesh. I, however, went home and did a cursory clean with hydrogen peroxide and went to urgent care. They

FND diagnosis - What now?
So CT, MRI and EEG all clear. I was told I have FND and given some leaflets. I now have a neurology appointment end of March. What's next? I don't know what I should do.My symptoms are linked to amnesia/memory and processing, and not physical (fortunately). I now have a complete feeling of disassociation

Desperately need help pls
So since last writing my previous post my Son has been experiencing “cluster seizures” - whereby he goes into a trance like state, talks gibberish and he can’t remember events and has no memory of what has happened. He has had approximately 3 or 4 of these “events” between May and December. The December
