Why did my endometriosis pain get worse after taking progesterone birth control bills?
After I have been diagnosed with endometriosis, I have tried taking 2 different birth control bills (both of them are progesterone based and were prescribed by doctors). The first bill I took for 3 months and it did not help at all, it actually gave me weak pain from time to time which was not normal

PMR without steroids?
Hubby (55) was just diagnosed with PMR that we suspect he's had for about two years. He'd like to try and work through it without taking prednisone since every post we read is about people trying to get off of it. Do you think it's possible to manage the pain with other means and methods long enough

Ongoing Headaches/anxiety
Hey all, I have had Hippocampal Sclerosis since the age of 8 months and am now 41. I had surgery in 2017 to eradicate my seizures which were occurring on average 3 times a week. Since the operation, I have only had one due to being trialed off medication. Apart from escaping the ongoing seizures,

I've OHS in 10 days - tips and must haves?
Hello everyone, So, after the very unexpected heart attack (clot passing through the hole in my heart) 3 weeks ago, all of a sudden I have the date for my OHS to close the ASD (and maybe repair the stretched valves too). It's planned for 14 April. 10 days' time. I feel woefully unprepared. I need to

Peginterferon side effects!
Hi all, I have ET Jak2+ since 2021 and have been injecting 45mg Peginterferon weekly for 6 months and doing relatively ok until just recently. I now am experiencing severe aching arms and legs radiating down from my neck to my knees. It is so bad that I have to take pain killers daily. My blood pressure

Fatty pad atrophy (ball of foot)
Hello, I am hoping there might be someone here who has experience of coping with fatty pad atrophy. I have recently been told by a podiatrist that this is the cause of the pain in the balls of my feet. I feel like I'm walking on my bones and have nerve pain due to the reduction in the fatty pad.

Off topic maybe.
Having a conversation about holidays with hubby this morning. With everything that's been going on with me it's been a no no since October. The sulfasalazine, 3rd med Ive tried, is killing my sleep. Im stopping it for a few days to see if sleep returns. I'm a walking zombie! Hubby, Garry, says he doesn't

Alternating meds
I wonder if anyone else has experience with a RLS therapy method of alternating .375 mg Pramipexole and Methadone 20-30 mg every 10 days? I also use marijuana which helps maybe 40% for about an hour. My case is very severe with many previous pharmacologic failures including Alpha 2 Ligands, Buprenorphine

lap yesterday!
5 years and yesterday finally got the answers for my pain. Endometriosis found. My surgeon also mentioned adhesions? And my appendix was fused to scar tissue. Just wondering if anyone else has had this? What a mix of emotions I’m feeling today. It wasn’t just a bad period, can painkillers keep the pain

Headaches
Hello, I'm really fed up today. I've been getting headaches, the last 3 weeks, each time lasting around 3 days...the last 2 weeks I ploughed on through on pain killers, but this week I came home from work and took to my bed. I am hypothyroid, on 150 Levo and have booked a blood test with GP for next

Stopping Cerazette
First time poster, but I’ve taken many tips from this board so thank you all in advance. 2 years ago I doubled over in agony, eventually got sent to A&E via my GP with suspected appendicitis. Wasn’t appendicitis, it was a haemorrhaging ovarian cyst. Sent home with painkillers, had a couple of scans and

Toothache and af
Am sitting here with painful toothache and I think I have an abbsess. Can anyone tell me if the numbing injections they give at rhe dentist trigger AF ? or anything else to watch for at rhe dentist. I have a huge fear of dentists and knowing the visit may cause af also is tipping me over the edge.

Postherpetic Neuralgia and B12
Not directly related to PA, but nonetheless of potential interest to those with PA as well as anyone with Postherpetic Neuralgia. (I currently have PHN and am taking methylcobalamin every day. Alongside capsaicin cream. Difficult to know if it is helping, but I think it is.) [i]

Topical Treatment for RA Joint Pain
My RA has been fairly well-managed with fortnightly 40ml adalimumab injections and weekly 20mg methotrexate injections for a few months. Since starting these meds together I still get some stiffness in a few joints, but not the pain I used to suffer and so I now consider my symptoms to be manageable.
