paracetamol
Not sure if it’s a bad cold or flu I have . I know NSAIDs are a very bad idea ( my first episode was triggered by Celebrex). Has anyone been triggered by Paracetamol ? Are there any safe pain killers ? Thanks

Ibuprofen
Ive just realised my tinnitus gets worse after I've taken ibuprofen. Just googled this and seen that it can happen. Has anyone else noticed this and if so have you found a relatively strong painkiller that doesn't affect it

Which is the worst - Prednisolone or Methatrexate?
I’ve mentioned my position in reply to other’s posts, but briefly, Jan 2023 - having been convinced the MTX wasn’t making any difference, I asked to stop it but my Rheumy said no, but you can half your dose to 10mg (once a week). I was also on 1.5mg Pred with Rhuemy pushing me to reduce by .5 for

Chances of getting a hysterectomy on the nhs aged 30?
Anyone had any success getting a hysterectomy at aged 30 ? If so what did you have to do to persuade your gp it was right for you ? After 12 yrs of back and forth with no progress, I want to be able to make a choice myself. Finally a gp suggested endo in 2021 but nothing is confirmed. My ovaries

Raynaud’s Pain
Has anyone been prescribed pain medication for Raynaud’s pain when the spasms occur. Tylenol and Advil helps a little bit.

I do find this condition puzzling, you think you are getting a handle on it and then it jumps on you from another angle. Most of my difficulties with Osteoradionecrosis were associated with the right hand side of my jaw which I was finally starting to manage to a reasonable level of discomfort (I also

Visceral hypersensitivity
You know those films where someone is strapped to a chair and the torturer is holding a syringe and says: 'I'm just going to give you something to enhance the pain; you'll feel everything much more'. No wait! I already have IBS, thanks all the same. I feel everything in my guts, multiplied. Solids

Never ending problems
I am going to moan - big time - because I am getting to the point where I don't know which way to turn. I have Hashimotos Thyroiditis, Arthritis, Pernicious Anaemia, Hypertension, Coeliac disease and now some unexplained kidney problem. I have had an MRI which has shown a problem but I don't know what

Question about reducing Pred
The last six weeks I have been reducing very slowly by .5mg from 4mg to 3.5mg. I have done this a few times without success ending in a flare. This time I am at the moment totally free in the upper half of my body from pain or stiffness, but have been getting what I think is withdrawal symptoms around

Magnesium salts and RLS: malate, glycinate or citrate
Just following up on a recent post recommending magnesium malate for RLS, quoting recommendations made by Californian company Pure Biogenics in promoting their RLS supplement Seratame. Looking into this, experiments on rats suggested that malate may be the most bio-available form of magnesium; there

Rehab ramblings and thoughts.

Suspected endo/fertility issues
Hi everyone ☺️ this is my first post and really just after some advice at this point. I started my periods age 10, had horrific cramps in my teenage years and hormonal migraines. Never considered at the time that this was anything other than 'bad periods'. I went on the mini pill age 17 for contraception

New to PMR and hopefully its on its way out!
I started suffering bad neck stiffness and then back and eventually hip stiffness about 6 weeks ago (early March 2023). I'm 56 and a very keen cyclist (normally 8-12 hours of cycling a week), and so am not used to feeling like an invalid! I find cycling OK, although my legs feel very heavy, but walking
