Apologies for the length of this post, but it would seem prudent to include as much information as possible to allow a knowledgeable response. I would also like to say

Anyone know if there is a link to increased cold sores?
Hi all, I have been deficient for some time in vit D, Folic acid and B12. I had my loading doses and was also put on a mini pill to help regulate hormone levels. Before I started the pill, I had increased outbreaks of coldsores in my nose, under my nose, lips etc (disgusting) this then decreased when

New appointment for pain management
I had L5/S1 spinal fusion in March 2015. All of last year did not seem too bad, either that or I kept telling myself to give my back time to heal and that it would get better. This year I'm not so sure. I have been having sharp jabs in lower back that at times almost brings me to my knees, mostly

Starting Montelukast tonight
Collected my prescription from the pharmacy ,the pharmacist asked if I'd taken it before and I said no ,so he said take it an hour before bed ,any signs of allergic reaction to stop it immediately and phone the GP ,,,,,other than that he will ring me after seven days to see how I'm getting on with it

Hi all
Hi folks Hope you're all well as can be expected. I've been to the respiratory clinic today. I haven't got my fev readings yet they will post a report out to me. However they said my lung age 76. I'm only 48. I've been prescribed formoterol fumarate and cetirizine, I'm already taking monteleukast and

Possible help
I was wondering if there are anyone else who uses magnesium tablets and cod liver oil tablets supplements to boost their immune systems. I have been doing this for years and whilst I have severe asthma / copd but I never smoked. My asthma is controlled through drugs. I don't really get flare ups hut

Spinal cord stimulator
Has anyone had a spinal cord stimulator to help with CRPS? If so did it help, how was the recovery time and are you able to function better then before it.
