Teeth!
Hi, Can anyone clarify please how Hashimotos affects teeth/gums? Or is it the Levothyroxine that does it? Whenever I mention to dentist, she is oblivious to this/never heard of it.My teeth have always suffered. Countless fillings, extractions, sensitivity, poor enamel, teeth practically disappearing!

Denosumab vs Bisphosphonates
Dear all, I will keep this brief so that I don't bore anyone! I am 55 yr female, and to my horror, fractured T12 out of the blue one morning two and a half years ago. Little did I think it was a fracture, so I walked and went to the gym for 4 days. This is with evolving neurological signs. Anyway,

Bad cold sore should I wait to inject Methotrexate?
I was at the dentist last Thursday - not my usual one - and she was a bit rough! She split my lip in the corner and it's came out with large cold sores which are not healing! 😔 I'm considering not injecting today to give them a better chance to heal - what do you think? They're sore and I can't eat

Cold & sore throat PAF
hi, I’ve had a cold and cough for 7 days now and having been having AF episodes lasting from 30mins - 5hours almost daily. Normally I would get an episode once a month at worst. Can colds and coughs bring on more regular occurances of AF?

colds and coughs
I am recently diagnosed with RA, I am on immune blockers. And I keep getting colds and coughs. is this due to my immune system being reduced. And is there anything I can do to treat this? Thank you.

Tips for knee pain at 68
Hi everyone, I'm Lyndon. I Woke up Saturday morning with a horrible surprise - knee pain. It's centered on the front left side of my right knee, a dull ache that's been keeping me up at night and making it tough to move around. At 68, I've had my fair share of aches and pains, but this is new territory

Anyone had spinal fusion on T10-12?
I have severe osteoporosis and kyphosis from breaking T10-T12 and wondered if anyone has had this? They're recommending a spinal fusion to fix this or otherwise to live in a brace forever hoping the kyphosis curve won't progress any more than it already has. I'm wondering which is the better option if

Does spinal fusion help take away severe pain from kyphosis due to broken vertebrae? (T10-T12)
My doctor is saying that I need to get a spinal fusion because I broke T10 through T12 back in 2011 so over 12 years ago and it is caused severe phasis due to my osteoporosis and from never getting it surgically dealt with at the time. I'm working on getting my bones stronger and he saying that if I

Goitre and Spinal Surgery
Hi. I am awaiting Cervical Spinal Surgery but also have a multinodular enlarged goitre. The spinals team says the goitre needs to come out first before they can get to the discs in my neck. It’s all a waiting game at the minute. I have a very high anaesthesia risk too. Intubation is difficult for

RLS & Spinal Injury
https://jpma.org.pk/article-details/11850 A recent study article from Pakistan shows that around 50% of patients with
spinal
cord
injuries
( including scars from MS) have RLS. I keep saying there are several distinct causes of RLS. Iron deficiency is one, kidney disease another.

Kyphosis treatment?

Cod liver oil tablets
Hi everyone, I’m just curious to know if any of you take cod liver oil and if so has it affected your gut/ibs in any way. I have just decided to try them because of my age (the menopause is causing me joint pain) but I’m always cautious with everything I take incase of a stomach upset.Thank you 😊

Heart Supplements
Hello, I'm currently on warfarin, omeprazole, amlodipine and valsartan. Besides trying to exercise and watch my diet, I'm thinking of consuming some heart supplements to strengthen my heart. Has anyone try anything good and can share? How about products from NatureFarm? Or any other supplements?

went off Xgeva for a year, have to go back on it. Ideas or tips helpful
Hi, the short version is I’ve been dealing w stage 4 MBC since 2019/ 2020 with mets to the bones since 2020, including a thoracic spinal fracture which led to a spinal fusion. I was put on Xgeva for a couple of years and later read on Xgeva’s website that being on it long term is likely to increase
