Steroid injection
I have a frozen shoulder and have been offered a steroid injection. I am on Hydroxy and Aspirin.I am wondering if anyone else has had the injection and if they had any side effects. I am a little concerned that it's Kenalog, which I thought was banned in UK. Although I am desperate to get rid of the

How can I help my intubated father in ICU?
I am desperately frightened as my father is fighting for his life, he has septic shock due to a liver abscess which has resulted in complications to his kidneys, brain and liver. Yesterday I saw him and he was so sleepy he could barely open his eyes and speak, although he was able to tell me he was in

Out of Remission
Well, I got some not so good news today. I had my CLL check today and I'm out of remission. My WBC is now 14K. My platelets are 152. My doctor wants to start me on Zanabrutinib now. I know it seems silly when just getting out of remission and I'm not even close to a WBC of 30K yet, and I have no other

A reply to Wasabigirl’s post about PID (?) which has since been deleted
You could ask for an MRI of the lower pelvis and muscles there. A sonogram generally cant see those areas (nor a laparoscopy or laparotomy) and pain in those areas can refer to the groin. I had an infection and was only treated with tetracycline for 5 days (many years ago). Then the terrible burning

After 25 years they have stopped my B12 - what can I do?
I'm in my early sixties. Generally very good health. On no medication. About twenty five years ago my then brilliant GP did a blood test for B12. A few days later rang me to come to the surgery immediately where he injected B12 himself. Apparently I had dangerously low levels of B12 that indicated I

Covid - Fatigue

Fibromyalgia, Long Covid and hypnotherapy
I have been attending long covid course and some links provided by visiting GP was to this Dr. Howard Schubinerwebsite who said after reading his own book many people recovered if it’s all in our head but if real pain and it’s just a case of us learning to deal and cope with it can hypnotherapy help
