Alternate treatment for FND/FMD affecting gait and balance

My gait and balance are both terrible, and I have been diagnosed with FMD. The only treatments which have been suggested to me are physical therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. Both are totally ineffective for me. Does anyone know of other treatments for FND/FMD which affects ONLY GAIT AND BALANCE

Advice on taking Leflunomide

Hi I’m new to the forum but have reading all your posts and do not feel alone in this awful condition of PMR. I was diagnosed October 2021 at the age of 60. I have had 3 relapses since them and after reading your posts feel this could be due to my prednisone being reduced too quickly. My consultant

Update on Leflunomide and Alcohol

I've now had an appointment with Dr Mackie and as my blood results are all satisfactory I've got the go-ahead to have a glass of wine now and then - yay! I've been trying a few alcohol free (0.5%) beers, a few of which are OK. I prefer ones that are less citrussy, like Lucky Saint. All seems to be

Cold Laser Therapy?

Hello, I have primary lower leg lymphedema, and currently am uncontrolled in the left leg. My chiropractor has offered to do cold laser therapy to see if it will help my leg swelling go down. I am a little nervous, but am also frustrated that the swelling hasn't improved since my fall in March.

My supplements/drugs

I'd like people to share what supplements/drugs they are using. The more the better. We could all learn from each other. This might not be clear. I made it in a word doc with tables and then had to butcher it up to add it to this post. Let me know. Supplements and Drugs Supplements are very unlikely

how to reduce pain in fingers without Methotraxate?

I’ve had PM since March 2016 but finally diagnosed September 2016 and prescribed 20 mg Pred, quickly reduced to 15 mg and then 10 mg. Slow reduction after that, kind of tricky reducing after 7 mg but I’ve finally reduced to 3 mg. this year. At 4 mg I felt great and reduced to 3 mg. very slowly. I’ve

Salvage Radiation Induced Proctitis

I completed salvage radiation around a year and 3 months ago. Since then I’ve had issues with my gut, specifically cramps in the morning and irregularity.

Gait issue and nerve compression

To all of you struggling with gate, see a neurologist if you haven't already. I had an ataxia gait and it was pretty bad. An MRI showed an arachnoid cyst in my spine from T1 to T10 that was compressing my spinal cord and thus the nerves, causing the issue. After removal I could walk a bit better and

Co Enzyme Q10 & Alpha Lipoic Acid : good anti oxidants or not helpful bad ideas? Do they extend Healthspan or reduce inflammation?

I take both. I just ordered more regrettably as I’m now reconsidering the evidence behind both. I know many others on HU take them as well. What is the science to explain why? My reason for taking ALA is a lame one. Dr. David Sinclair does. But as I look in to this more I think that maybe neither

MS and Pain

Hello! I am curious and wonder how many people, like myself, get fairly unbearable pain at times. Mine is especially in my legs. I take Hydrocodone every six hours. I haven't known of others who also take a narcotic, hence my asking the community. FYI: I am on the highest dose. I really do not

Self injecting B12

Hi wanted to ask which sites/companies are best to purchase B12 for self administration. Is it supplied in preloaded syringes or pens like insulin. Which brands, suppliers have given best results?

Iron intake and peripheral neuropathy.

BUT my neuropathies have gone WORSE than ever (burning feet and skin, tingling in hands). Could these iron pills be the cause? Anyone with the same experience?
