The Good and Bad
Bit of a long post... My dad has had Parkinsons for several years now, started with a left hand tremor which has progressed to slow movement, some shuffling (though not as bad as some), and stiffness. The neurologist has had him on Pramipexole, Rasagaline, and Kemadrin for the last few years. Unfortunately

GPA and lower back muscle spasms
I was diagnosed with Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) Last August and had 3 high doses of steroids and 3 lots of Cyclophosmahide at 3 week intervals, the result was not as good as rheumatologist had hoped for and she is referring me to a specialist clinic in Southampton, in the meantime my steroids

My "Osteoporosis" Journey
This is just copy and paste of an account I wrote to keep track of things for myself. Please note I have no medical training and I haven't checked to see if the web links at the end still work. I think most will. Since writing this account I've had a second DXA scan showing that within a year my bone

What a day
Hi all, well what a nightmare day today. Work was very busy today and stupidly I helped a little more than I should, lifted a box I would have had no problem with 6 months ago. Ended up sat in the office for 3 hours gasping for air, inhalers did nothing and the panic did not help in the slightest. Frightened

Purple rash/blotches
I've had enough of this Methotrexate poison. Stopped taking the tabs and started with the metoject pen instead but now the thought of doing the jabs is making me feel as sick as I felt with the tabs. I can't stand it any longer. I'd rather be in pain than feel sick. I don't want to take anything. Not

Eosiniphilic asthma and colds
Not sure whether it is my eosiniphilic asthma or the prednisolone but I am constantly fighting coughs and colds - taking supplements makes no difference- as soon as one goes I get another. Anyone else like this?

Using carbonated drinks to take Sinemet.
When I was recovering from back surgery, spinal fusion to fix sciatica pain I had down both legs, I was introduced to the idea of using ginger ale when I take Sinemet. I was at Medstar Georgetown University hospital and was visited by a doctor and a few students. It seemed to work faster. On top of that

Day 7 of anti inflammatory... some changes...
Hello everyone, I thought I had better drop in and say that this is now day 7 of the anti inflammatory diet and I'm due on period in the coming 4-5 days. This last Monday by breast pain was AWFUL. and now I would say, since Monday on this diet the breast pain is 60% easier! So, something I've cut out

New to CMT
After two years bouncing from 1doctor/specialist my primary care doctor sent me to the University of Florida. There a wonderful neurologist quickly diagnosed me with CMT. That was my beginning of knowing what I was dealing with. I have been bed-ridden for over 2 years using a walker or wheel chair. A

Has anyone tried Cod Liver Oil for Lupus joint and muscle pain?
Has anyone found that Cod liver oil helps (or didn't help!) with Lupus joint and muscle pain and if so how long did it take to kick in?

Acupuncture
Has anyone had acupuncture for severe back pain? I have had four lumbar spinal fusions, all failed, and now steroid injection has been suggested. I am very against this for many reasons but am a big fan of acupuncture for general health. Has anyone had needles down the spine and on the operation site

Coldsores and L-lysine! Advice please ☺️
Hello lovely people, So I need some advice - I’ve got the worst cold sore and it just wont go away. I generally suffer from coldsores and usually get one or two a year. I used to take L-lysine vitamins from holland and barratt and found it helped keep them at bay. Since finding out I had a BFP I have

Acupuncture for back pain after spinal fusions
Has anyone tried this? Had the spinal needles yesterday and it was marvellous afterwards. Today feel really awful, in pain again and very depressed. The accupuncturist is no charlatan and top class in the profession. Obviously will be needing several sessions and I believe the results are cumulative
