Experiences with

Salicylic acid

I started washing my face with a wash that has salicylic acid and then moisturizing straight after. Excuse my ignorance on this as the last time I spent any time on my face was when I was 16 and had zits. Any help, direction would be greatly appreciated.

The best thing I've tried is a salicylic acid preparation known as "bazuka". The main advantage of this gel is that it covers the warts with a mostly waterproof coating, and unlike the other liquid SA preps, I don't need to cover up the warts to keep the active ingredient from rubbing off.

hi all, I’m wondering if anyone can recommend any types of pain relief (something stronger than paracetamol and ibruprofen) that would be safe to use if TTC? I have tried codeine but although it works quickly and well, it’s very short lived (wears off within 30-45 mins) and pretty much knocks me out

Hi Everyone.... Firstly I would like to say thank you to all the members whose posts I have found invaluable. I've had 'Poly' for 18 months now and am on 6.5 mg of Prednisolone. As you all know the first couple of days after diagnosis the pain and stiffness melts away and you feel amazing, full of optimism

Another question? What are the side effects of taking Alendronic Acid ? I have been feeling nauseous and I have a burning sensation in my hips. Also seem to be struggling to walk far. This could be my fibromyalgia which is why I’m asking what other people are experiencing. Thanks 🙏

I am 62 female with severe osteoporosis scoliosis and kyphosis suffered T12 spinal fracture. After being on Alendronic Acid weekly tablet for 2 years I am now being prescribed Teriparatide.

Hi All, I was really hoping that I wouldn't be seeking your advice again for quite some time. However, after 5 months Pred free I think PMR may be back. For the last 3-4 weeks I've had a stiff neck. Particularly in bed and first thing in the morning ( similar to how it started last time) I've also

I was diagnosed in January 2024 with PMR and prescribed Prednisolone which helped. I contacted my GP this week because after reducing to 10mg my hips and groin have been getting more painful. GP said I must apologise we haven't seen you since diagnosis and you should have had Dexa scan, Calcium supplement
