Want to start tapering again but am also on Naproxen... what do I do first?
Before Christmas, I had a flare. I was on 7mg of steroids, 10mg of methotrexate and was given 2 Naproxen a day to try and help the pain in my hands and wrists. It only took the edge off the pain but there was a difference if I stopped them. I eventually spoke to the Rheumy nurse on 15th December and

Update - ADT with Zytiga Failure (Castration Resistant) after 6 Months (PSA 90.3); Firmagon still Working; PSMA PET Scan Ordered
I came right out of the gate with Gleason 9 Stage 4 Advanced Prostate Cancer with more than 5 Metastases in January of this year. Firmagon brought the Testosterone down to < 7 almost right away, but PSA went to 160. Zytiga and Prednisone were added in March and brought the PSA back down to 5. The PSA

My journey goes on...
I have just been updating my profile to add my medical history to try and help others understand my journey. It is amazing how difficult it really is to put down a timeline after the event. It did however make me read through some of the letters I have received over the years and have begun to realise

Hello, this is actually my first post so apologies if it is a bit long winded! After around 6 years struggling with pelvic related issues (PID, cysts, pain & heavy periods) I am now under gynae having investigations into endo. Over the last couple of years I have had bowel symptoms that have gotten worse

Life with Ectopics - 20 years old
Hi, my name is Abbie McDonald, and I am currently 20 years old. I have had heart issues, specifically ectopics, for over 6 years now. My story is quite long but I will do my best to summarise it all. It all started after my HPV vaccine at school in Year 10. Following the jab, I came down with cold

Painkillers and Apixaban
Hi all, Those of you on Apixaban what pain killers do you use. Particulary interested in anyone who also has osteoarthrits as only one offered to me was Naproxen which is listed on Drugs sites as a no no as could increase risk of bleeding. Thanks.

GP thinks I might have lupus
I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica in June this year . I had elevated CRP and abnormal LFTs. Prior to this I had been hospitalised twice for severe inflammation of the gallbladder. Since then I have undergone several ct scans to monitor inflamed lymph nodes around the pancreas and stomach.

Golf ball in rib cage left side post covid. Any ideas?
I am recovering from having covid and was quite poorly with it. It has played havoc with my asthma. My self isolating ended on Monday and yesterday I did a flow test which was negative. I still have the occasional cough and my sense of smell is still not back. Last night when I went to bed and lay

I'm booked for an MRI Cardiac stress perfusion next week, what are your experiences of these scans?
I had a stent in May and was really well until September when my Angina returned with attitude. My Naproxen has been increased to 20 mg twice a day and 2.5mg Bisoprolal added. I'm experiencing daily pain and have had a couple of visits to A&E when the pain spread to my neck and jaw.

Struggling to get any doctors to listen to me.

I have been seeing GPs and the like for all of this time and the answers have always been the same, there’s a potential I have arthritis but because my Rheumatoid

How to manage severe symptoms of B12 deficiency?
My psychiatrist prescribed me mirtazapine 30 mg half every night and resperidone 1 mg. But since I take painkillers I didn't take resperidone because it's SSRIs ( selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and it has severe interaction with NSIAD painkillers like naproxen and ibuprofen and causes gut bleeding

Could I have thyroid cancer?
About 12 weeks ago I thought I would get a thyroid blood check as I keep putting on weight (one and half stone), yet my diet and exercise has not changed. Also my eyebrows have almost disappeared, really dry itchy skin, tired, night sweats (I'm pasted menopause, age 57), average heart rate of 58 (down

Lower right sided pain, ovaries maybe
I’m currently really suffering with quite severe pain around the area of my right ovary, it’s constant pain which gets sharper at times, my GP has referred me for a scan but I was wondering what I could do to help ease the pain in the meantime, I have to press on the area sometimes to help ease some

Funny turn!
I had a funny turn today. I was walking into the kitchen and went really dizzy and felt like I was on a boat in high waves! Falling over and trying to stay upright, when I laid down I then could not lift my head off the pillow without the room spinning and thought I was going to be sick. Even when I

Oh no! New pain!
Hello everyone. A little bit about me. I was diagnosed with endometriosis 4 years ago. Had excision surgery for it and was later found to have adenomyosis too. I had a hysterectomy in May this year and was doing really well. I always thought there was more to my pain than what I was experiencing. Well
