Four years on and still feeling 20 years older
Hi, I had my PE four years ago, and was admitted to hospital on the 18/02/15. I had been feeling unwell several months prior with pains in the back/shortness of breath, but put it down to ongoing back issues and the affects of smoking 18-20 cigarettes a day. I was working full-time and travelling up

Desperate
I've had RLS for quite a few years but since my spinal surgery it's 24/7 instead of just at night, I can't sit and watch TV, I can't go to a movie, I can't ride in the car, and I can't enjoy life. I'm about ready to go out of my mind. After my surgery, part of my left leg is numb and I seem to get

Cough cold since reducing prednisone
Since starting pred 2 years ago, 60 mg for GCA I haven’t had any colds in this time, however now I’m down to 2 mg and have had a colds for 6 weeks and now a horrendous cough, could it be that my Adrenal glands have not kicked in??? I was wondering whether to increase pred for a while? Really do not

Peakflow and colds (newbie question)
Hi! I’ve only very recently been diagnosed and started Spiromax (1 puff, twice day) 10 days ago. My Peakflow almost instantly improved from 320 to 370 and was still improving when I caught a cold on weekend. Now my peakflow is struggling to get to 300. I’m not struggling to breathe but just feel generally

Caregiver for 50 yr old Mom with Metastatic Melanoma
Hello all. New to this lovely community, I've been feeling the need to reach out to other to people going through similar experiences as mine. In 2017 my 48 yr old mother had a large tumor (golf ball sized) growing from her left leg. Initially the doctors did not think it was melanoma or in fact malignant

Tampenadol
My pain specialist has suggested trying Tampenadol 50mg twice a day for chronic back and leg pain. I've been on it a couple of days so far it's not been enough to cope with flare up pain during the day so I've had to either use oramorph or tramadol to cope . What doses are people on and how long do

Anyone out there with Psoriatic Arthritis and Lupus? How was your PsA diagnosed? How is it diagnosed as different from OA?
I had a hip operation in April 2013. I had growths on my hip socket. The way it was explained to me was that my ball socket on my left hip was shaped like a rugby ball when it should look like a football. I was running at the time, half marathons. The last one I did was painful and I had to stop running

Back pain and complications after surgery
Hi everyone I'm finding lots of useful help on here and it helps to know I'm not alone. I've had lower back problems for 5 years now which started after moving a child at school ( I work with autistic children) At first I thought I'd pulled a muscle but it didn't go away and just got worse and worse

I have tried most things from Morphine based tablets then Pregabaline, Amitryptaline you name it I’ve been on it. I’ve tried loads of vitamins which I am still taking. I’m using Biofreeze
