Far from being a cause of distress as was the case with the untold misery of a month ago walking the house at night feeling that familiar dread that comes with severe sleep deprivation and feeling like you’re teetering on the edge of an abyss, I now feel a certain sense of euphoria knowing that I will

Huge anxiety 2-3 days after Radioactive Iodine treatment
Hi, I hope someone can help/advise. After 2 1/2 years on carbimazole for Grave's disease (5mg for the last year or so), I've had RAI. It was administered on Tuesday, I felt ok until bedtime on Thursday - settled in bed but felt paniky, very conscious of my heartbeat and breathing, felt the need

Burning pain to side of scapular post several breast ops - anyone have this too?
Dear all Hope you are doing as well as can be. I am really struggling with very bad, deep burning in the area of my upper left back, in-between the shoulder blade and my spine and wondered if anyone else has had this issue post surgery/ies? I have a lot of lumps and spasmed areas anyway, all over

mastectomy
Well my surgery went well,Only problem was as I expected low oxygen levels after the anesthetic. so glad I opted for Mastectomy-would never have coped with further operations and up to 18 months of treatment if I had opted for reconstruction..Only appts now are with a district nurse to check dressings

pain….is it PMR or something else?
I posted about a month ago with pain in my mid back, worse laying down. I saw my GP’s Nurse Practitioner who said it was coming from the long muscles that are under the shoulder blades. He gave me exercises to do. I have mild to moderate scoliosis. Two weeks later the pain had gotten

It has been my longest and toughest journey of my life.
My fibromyalgia started in a writer way. In 2019, I became very ill with several bloody UTIS, which then affected my skin, my body was producing what was similar to small fish scales, they would ping out of my skin all over my body. Come out my tear ducks. When I was on the loo I could hear them hitting

How long shall I trial codeine before giving up on it?
Hi all RLers, I started codeine beginning of April. First 8mg slowly to 30mg, which made me sick but I got 6hrs without RL and slept. Down to 16mg, back to 30mg without side effects this time. The trouble is I only get 1 good night on the increased dose before the RL is back as usual. I am hoping

Having made several visits to GP about back pain, I ended up being admitted to A and E 3 weeks ago because my blood pressure was 200plus/100plus, spent 24 hours sat in a wheelchair.This was after a 4 hour wait for ambulance in the early hours. Eventually moved to Acute Medical, the consultant there doubled

Graves and muscle pain
Hello, I was diagnosed with Graves in 2012, responded extremely well to Carbimazole. I relapsed in 2019, and in 2021 and now in 2023. I’m now 52 and a half and going through menopause with dry skin and eyes and global muscle pain. I was of course tested for Sjogren and other autoimmune disorders but
