How do you deal with pain / not being taken seriously by GP?
I’ve been trying to get a diagnosis for years. My current GP sent me to get an ultrasound, but because they saw nothing abnormal, they stopped and didn’t offer me a laparoscopy. I’m getting so frustrated, this pain is not normal period pain like all Doctors seem to think it is. I can bearly walk when

Experiment using TENS machine with glove attachment to see if it helps with dexterity in hands
Today is day 2 of my trial with hubby using glove and TENS machine. It is supposed to be good for neuropathy so I wondered if it might help with whatever the problem is with his hands. After initial reluctance to put gloves on he promised to try for 10 minutes which he then extended to 20 then 30 minutes

'Tens' unit
Hi brave people, I have just joined this forum and sympathise with those that can't get some relief. The blood to my brain was blocked off on one side for a few hours 12 years ago (Carotid Artery dissection) then 2 years later had meningitis, so my poor brain has had a bit of a bashing. I never had

Legs feel like wood
Sometimes I wake up during the night with my feet and calves feeling like wood. The only thing I've found to help is to get up and walk a bit or sit in this chair with my feet in a massager. If one used a tens device in bed would that help?

Why don't Doctors recognise the chronic after effects of Meningitis?
Hi Everyone. So I'm sat watching the news and they are talking about the effects of 'Long Covid'. Doctors are actually recognising the chronic symptoms patients are experiencing and planning how to improve their care. Covid has been around how long? How about Doctors listening to the Chronic symptoms

Extreme Muscle Soreness DOMS and Stiffness after Lifting Weights or doing Stairs or Pull-ups or Hill Sprints.
I was an athlete and exercised intensely 5-6 days a week for 20 years before getting Hashimoto's 7 years ago. So I know well what is normal soreness and duration after a hard workout. The first "muscle symptoms" I noticed came a couple of years after my diagnosis. It came in the form of hip/knee stiffness
