I was diagnosed 4 years ago with relapsing remitting. In the MS community no one ever talks about lesions black holes or myelin. Why!
After my initial diagnosis on my next visit I asked my neurologist how many lesions I had. He said “ I don’t really know. This guy is one of the most renowned neurologists in the world. I said, how long have you been doing this? X years. Then what does your gut say? He said in between 50 and 75 but

Pain management
Dear Friends: I am currently taking 20mg Methadone daily for RLS and will have painful hand surgery soon. Because Methadone blunts effects of opioids I am concerned about pain management. Any ideas how best to handle? Thank you.

sudden hearing loss
I woke up on 24 July this year with fullness and partial hearing in my right ear. Saw doc 4 days later who prescribed steroid tablets for 12 days. During that time I got a small improvement however when I stopped taking them the problems returned. I had spikes of high temperature so perhaps virus

If it’s not one thing, it's another! Update
Following on from the previous post, I had my appointment with the Ophthalmology Surgical Unit yesterday. Basically appeared to be a couple of pre-op tests to take measurements of my eyes. I’ve been given a contact number to call in a day or two to find out where on the waiting list I am. Hopefully

Inflammation on colonoscopy
Hi everyone I had a colonoscopy today after around a year of diarrhoea, constipation, bleeding, tenesmus, BM at least 5x day and huge amounts of mucus. Lots of biopsies were taken and there were a couple areas of inflammation in my distal rectum, also some small haemorrhoids further down. The biopsy

Zoe reveals poor blood sugar control?
Can anyone explain why my blood sugar control appears to be poor? I read hypoglycaemia is uncommon except in hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s 🤷🏽♀️ I’ve just started the Zoe nutrition programme. I’m working through their introductory activities eating various combinations and seeing blood sugar responses

Late diagnosis of asbestosis
My Dad is 96 and has had progressive lung disease for many years. He's a non-smoker and I always wondered about the cause. On 16 October this year he was referred to a respiratory consultant for the first time. She took a detailed work history (again, the first one to do so) and we realised just how

Hi. I wasn't sure if I should start a new post for this, or just add to my post in Oct/Nov, so I decided to do both. I hope that's okay. I had my colonoscopy two weeks ago. Results were: - internal hemorrhoids - diverticuli - polyps (I don't know size and how many until I see my dr next week

GERD symptoms
Hi does anyone suffer with GERD. I am sure that is what I have with continuous burping, some bloating and regurgitation. I take Esomeprazole which means that the stomach acid is neutralised but the regurgitation is still unpleasant. The GP says I just have indigestion (!) so I have self-diagnosed

Bloated Feeling?
Hello everyone, I was wonder if any of you experience similar symptoms to mine. I’ve had UC for almost 10 years. Do you experience fullness, similar to bloating in the upper abdomen, after or during eating? It is near the sternum sometimes. I do realize that I eat really really fast which is not

Endoscopy frequency
I had an endoscopy when first diagnosed with PA and benign polyps were found. That was nearly 7 years ago; does anyone know if this test should be done regularly? Also, I have had symptoms recently that worry me a bit but they could be a result of the tail end of a lingering virus. I know that PA increases
