Painkillers stopped working
Hello everyone, I've had fibromyalgia since 2021 and it's full body. About a month ago I stopped taking Amytriptaline and Gabpacentin as they were acting more like depressants and did make me feel like taking my own life to escape my profound pain. A week after I stopped the prescribed medication.

Just confused
I have spent 8 months or so trying to figure out what on Earth is going on with my periods. I’ve had three scans and a couple of consultations. Friends of mine tell me they just take two paracetamol and sometimes use a hot water bottle and they’re ok. Where I generally can’t walk, take extremely hot

Interesting info
My husband had a dvt event a few weeks ago and had the usual response of heparin injections for 4 days,and put on apixaban. I commented to him that Apixaban will sort out the clot in his femoral vein .The AC nurse stopped me and said,no, Apixaban does not work on actual clots it prevents further ones

Total knee replacement - 6 weeks on
Hi Today is my 6 week anniversary of having my TKR on my right knee. I'm keen to start driving again and wondered if I need to get the go ahead from the physio first or what is the protocol? My understanding was that if you can do an emergency stop you can drive. I have an automatic car so I'll be

potential endo, no confirmed diagnosis.
to take it right back I have been experiencing numerous gynaecological issues for around 7 years now following my first C-Section. Extreme bloating, heavy periods but not painful and also periods that last a long time with darker/old blood. Fluctuating from constipation and diarrhoea. I have been given

Pregabalin advice
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia quite some time ago but was never referred to anyone relating to
pain
management
until I changed gp last year. The
pain
team assessed me and prescribed pregabalin increasing slowly until I reached 75mg twice a day. All well and good until this week.

Eugenol
I just happened to come across some information relating to cirrhosis. It is called eugenol and it comes from cloves. The NIH as recently as 2021 has done studies and as far as I can tell it is helping the liver to heal. I am not a scientist so the big scientific words are beyond me so I am not sure

Adenomyosis, should I have hysterectomy?
The short version is that I have adenomyosis. I've always had heavy periods with period pains that make my thighs numb and require prescription painkillers. At the age of 44 I had some symptoms of perimenopause and tried HRT. After two years I came off and that seems to have triggered a strong reaction

Headaches with GCA
Do you get headaches anywhere in your head or just in a certain place? And painkillers don't work.

Rectal fissure - healed!
I'm not sure if this is the correct group to post in as I do not have IBS, however for 10+ years, I had a rectal fissure that just wouldn’t go away. I live in the Caribbean, have a healthy lifestyle and diet. Years ago, when first diagnosed with the fissure, I was prescribed Lidoprocto suppositories

High neutrophil count😱
My wife's last blood test showed her platelets were up at @800 And her neutrophil count at over 70, her Hgb was 116, hematocrit was 0.38 which is high for her, but as it was only three weeks since she had three units of packed red cells and a bag of iron, that was expected. I read in the guardian of

Sacral Insufficiency Fractures
Hi, I've just joined this online community, which feels like a good start! I was diagnosed with sacral insufficiency fractures following a scan in February of this year. My symptoms - excruciating pain and limited mobility - started in September 2022 only 3 months after the finish of my pelvic radiotherapy

Things, regimens,etc that are probably RLS worthless.
If you find something that you sincerely believe helps you, go for it (hypnotherapy for
pain
management
comes to mind). This posting is information, not judgment. For the rest of us RLS sufferers, the list is probably things to steer of. As always, peace, and I hope this helps.
