Pain Relief
I have posted before regarding Scleroderma and Raynauds and the problems which relate to this. I have osteoarthritis in my knees and they are so very painful. I was coping with the help of steroid injections, paracetamol and Ibuprofen however steroid injections are now limited with less relief and

Medical Cannabis?
Has anyone tried medical cannabis for pain relief? I have severe arthritis which limits my life quite a lot, my doctor won’t refer me for knee replacement until I lose more weight, and being on Rux has meant more weight gain! Obviously will need to ask haematologist about. It is quite expensive and

HRT and Lupus
I’m 44 and have just been diagnosed with lupus and sjogrens in the last couple of months- there’s an awful lot to Learn. My GP thought my joint pain and anxiety was perimenopause related, and I was prescribed Evorel patches but after a month the pain was increasing rather than decreasing and autoimmune

First appointment with nhs Rheumy
Hi, I had my first nhs appointment with the Rheumy who is based at the same health centre as the one I have seen privately. He did say to me that he was aware that I had seen one, I had already had my bloods done prior to the appointment. He said my RF was 170 which is high, he gave me two booklets

Treatment for perimenopausal symptoms and PBC
Hi, A year ago I had my first bout of very strange and severe anxiety and depression linked to perimenopause. I am 48. A blood test showed my oestrogen level had significantly dropped. After a couple of months I seemed to re-stabilise and didn’t need HRT. I had been taking a supplement, recommended by

HRT question. Sorry, totally off topic but I need an answer quickly!
Oh cripes! I started HRT 8 days ago. (Estrogen patches and utrogestan). I'm on cycle day 21 and I've started my period this evening. What do I do now?! Do I carry on taking utrogestan until I've completed 2 weeks?

Travel Insurance
Hi I am waiting for unexpected surgery for heart valve replacement. I am going on holiday in June and I wondered if anyone had advice on travel insurance companies who would cover me possibly while I wait for surgery?

Two years post mini maze (surgical ablation).
How on earth is that 2 years since being down in London taking that step into the unknown of having surgical ablation, hoping for a good result, knowing research said I had a good chance, but like everything it’s not guaranteed. Sharing my experience on here with you all each step of the way. Well

Knee Replacement Yesterday
Thanks to those of you who wished me well yesterday. I had full knee replacement surgery yesterday afternoon. On the advice of the surgical team I had my normal dose of Prednisolone in the morning. Epidural for the op and played nice music through my ear buds to drown out the sound of the team and the

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Hi, Since I've started having issues with my joints (had two hip replacements at 25, arthritis in my lower lumbar spine & sacralratic joint etc) I've had these lumps appear for a couple of days (more sometimes) and then they go away for a bit. They really hurt to touch. They appear over night most of
