is this neuropathy?
As explained in previous posts I have two spinal fractures from X-ray January. Pain still bad and osteoporosis nurse pressed me to get stronger painkillers. Last week GP gave me 30mg codeine, taking with paracetamol but only slightly improved things. Pain is unpredictable, suddenly excruciating, shooting

Rheumatology second opinion appointment
Hello everyone, so my husband had his second opinion with another NHS rheumatologist yesterday (same hospital), and I'd really appreciate people's thoughts on some of the things he said, as follows: 1) The pain, stiffness, heat and swelling across my husband's knuckles and proximal joints (both hands

Amiriodone & NDT update
So I was put on Amiodarone post heart surgery 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought it was a three week course but it's not. Now on 200mg per day for the next few months . And yes I think it's messing my thyroid hormones up. I did protest over taking it...due to its high iodine content and contrary indications.

Is it ok to take painkillers with Prednisolone?
I have recently had probable PMR diagnosis and am on day 2 of week’s trial on 15mg prednisolone. Too early to see if it’s having effect but had partially sleepless 1st night and PMR symptoms worse than ever this morning plus slight headache (but that could be lack of sleep). Before GP confirmed my suspicions

Pregabalin
I read a disturbing report in the media today regarding Pregabalin and addiction and also reports of death amongst Pregabalin users. The age report was from anything from 20,s to elderly. When Pregabalin was used with opiates the frequency of deaths rose sharply This is obviously most upsetting with

Dr Alan Christianson - Iodine Controlled Diet
Hi, Does anyone follow Dr Alan Christianson on social media or read any of his material? I find his video's very very informative and enjoy his content. He seems to be a very big supporter of an iodine controlled diet, and thyroid disease can be controlled by regulating iodine intake as appose to thyroid

I am about to start a course of hydrolyzed marine collagen to help my loss of hair. It is by British Supplements, and the ingredients just list Pangasius Fish. Is this okay to take with Levothyroxine? Someone has told me this would probably contain Iodine, which would not work with thyroid meds. Could

Painkiller for after Dental Procedure
So next week I’m going to my dental surgery to get three tooth implants. The first session is when they drill metal rods into the bone. Once the local anaesthetic wears off it’s very painful. I’ve had one done before now this time three at once!! Last time I didn’t know about my CKD so as I can’t take

lidocaine infusion didn’t work - I feel so down, what should I do?
I have severe chronic pain, and I’ve tried lots of medicines (nortriptyline, amitryptyline, co-codamol, codeine, tramadol, tapentadol), I’m currently on gabapentin 400mg x 3 times a day. But still in SO much pain. So I went to a private doc who suggested lidocaine infusions. I had my first infusion

is it back again?
I’ve been off prednisolone for almost a year now and I’m really, really stiff in the mornings and I literally hobble out of bed. During the night I wake several times with throbbing pain deep in my leg muscles and also sometimes in my arms. I feel as if it sometimes spirals round my groin and legs so

Tramadol and other Opiates should
