Happy and healthy New Year everyone. I am down to 1mg of pred and have developed, what my osteopath says, is bursitis . Also arthritis has flared up in my feet. I saw a nurse practitioner who said take painkillers to manage it and that because of the reduction in steroids this has all flared up and

extremely intense pain due to stage 4 Endrometriosis
Hi, An ambulance has just left our house. Today is the first day of my period and I had to call 999 due to extreme pain that I never experienced before. They gave me strong pain killers and I feel better but I’m still in shock of the intensity of the pain I experienced today! My whole body was in agony

Doctor dismissal
Hello, i'm after some advice as I know so many other women have been in the same situation I've been to the doctors regarding my periods as I am concerned I have endometriosis or something along those lines and the doctor showed no interest and was really patronising. She ended up prescribing me with

Update - Not Polymyalgia?
Update - First had Polymyalgia 2018 tapered off successfully 2020 CRP10 ESR 26. Diagnosed again July 2023 CRP4 ESR 26. Symptoms completely different (all neck, shoulders, arms) Put back on 20mg steroids. I wasn’t convinced on 2nd diagnosis so GP agreed I should taper off. Began taper, had blood tests

Painful knee
Hi, I've recently joined this forum. I started doing the couch to 5k in November. Finding it quite hard as rather out of condition but I persevered. I'm on week 5 now, though I have missed a few runs due to Christmas and New year. I've also for that reason stuck to run 1 for the last few times. However

Hip & abdomen problems with endometriosis

I've been seeing my GP since February 2022 and even after my laparoscopy and diagnosis of endo in Feb 2023 I've not had much

Unexpected endometriosis
Has anyone got any advice for me please? I've just been in for a laproscopy to remove what they told me was a simple cyst on my ovary, only to find out they couldn't remove it because they found endometriosis so they have referred me to a specialist surgeon and are sending me for an MRI.The surgeon said

anticoagulants-or not..
I have read a number of articles which I think say that the protocol for when to add to the CHaDs s score for prescribing anticoagulants with AF was based on patients who were very obviously symptomatic whereas many newer patients have fewer symptoms and discover AF through smart watches / other devices

Prednisolone!
I take Pred, Methotrexate 25mg a week, Hydroxychloroquine @400mg a day, and 2700mg of Gabapentin a day. My weight has skyrocketed. I am the heaviest I have ever been in my life, and it's all down to how much junk food, chocolate and crisps I am eating. As I am also suffering from Trigeminal nerve pain

Advice needed please!
Hi all, I am 51 years old and have suffered from Endo for the past 7 years approx and had an op to remove some about 4 years ago. This seemed to help for a while but it came back as I believe is often the case. I have been on the mini pill since the op and the condition has been almost manageable and

Why do I always ache
Does anybody else have constant body aches? I posted about rib pain recently but if the pains not in my ribs it’s my chest or I ache all around the top of my arms into my chest area. It’s daily now & the pain gets worse as the day goes on. Someone on here recently suggested it might be costochondritis

Hospital stay: expecting too much?
I was given

relief pretty quickly and then a

Xgeva Side Effects
Hi!! Has anyone had extreme pain in hips, groin and femurs caused by Xgeva? I first started with pain in my right side. So bad that I literally have to lift my leg with my hands to get into the car. That was about a year ago. My doctor doesn’t seem to think there’s a problem and doesn’t address it.
