Dreading seeing the Rheumatologist
Hi everyone, I have an appointment coming up with my Rheumatologist which I’ve been under for the last 3 1/2 years (I’m in the UK, we don’t get a choice in who we see). It took him a couple of years to finally diagnose PMR. During that time I’d become almost housebound. He insisted I take the

Flying with liquid medication
I go on holiday in a couple of weeks and need to take all my needles and lubion as well as Tinzaparin. Although they are less than 100ml in each vial/syringe, collectively they’ll be more than 100ml. Do I just need to take my prescription or do I have to declare the meds or get in touch with the airports

Has anyone had more fertilised eggs 2nd time round with ICSI?
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone undergoing ICSI had a more successful round of fertilised eggs 2nd time round and if there was anything you done differently? We had our first round in August and they managed to use 10 mature eggs after collecting 15 eggs, 24 hours later we were told that only

Cold!
After doing the 20 min run on Saturday I rested Sunday. Haven't slept well for three nights now. Now I think I've got a cold. Headache, etc. Will rest with a short walk until Wednesday now. See how I feel then. Feeling very frustrated.

Shingles vaccine
Just seen the BBC news health website. Shingles vaccines being offered to over 65’s ( was 70) and, even better, to vulnerable immune suppressed people over 55 from September 2023.

Flu vaccine
Thank you for your replies and concerns regarding the flu vaccine. However I was querying if people with underactive thyroid/Hashimotos need to be more aware of taking it.

Flu vaccine
Hi My flu vaccine is all booked. I’ve only ever had one before two years ago but occurred to me that maybe I should research if it’s ok to have it as I have Hashimotos/underactive thyroid. Appreciate any advice. 🌸

Slow, slow, quick quick slow -to taper or not?
I've forgotten the name of the tapering method. It's come to me in an hour or so I am sure. Canada was amazing and exhausting, we've been back since the 31st May and are still recovering. Mark was diagnosed with OA in his knees in March. Despite steroid injections before we left, his knees did not

Rheumatologist appointment help
Good Morning. ( This is a long story so will try to make it as condensed as I can) 4 years ago I was diagnosed with PMR after painful joints, hands arms, shoulders and toes. I was put on a dose of 40mg of pred as they also thought I may have GCA. Although that turned out to be a dental issue. I was

[HOME THERAPY] Neurofeedback for Parkinson’s Disease
Hey! A couple of days ago I learned about neurofeedback therapy. There are studies showing that it works. Some recovery centers are successfully using it to treat PD patients (google "oxford recovery center parkinsons"). Today I learned that there are neurofeedback devices available on the market.

Liver detox after chemo?
I am starting Taxotere next week and received some advice from a friend fighting serious colon cancer. He told me how he detoxed his liver after each cycle. He used TUDCA Bile salts and PectaSol from ECONugenics Company. https://econugenics.com/collections/pectasol?Wickedsource=Microsoft&Wickedid

CELLULITIS
Has anyone had cellulitis? I have had it for just over a week and have just completed a 7 day course of Flucloxacillin. I did not see a doctor - just had to post a photo of my leg, so haven't had the opportunity of discussing it with him. From the web it sounds quite serious, but don't like taking
