RLS and sciatica
I have primary RLS and have been suffering from sciatica since February. I've now had an MRI scan and found out I have stenosis of the spine plus crushed discs as well as a protruding one. Lucky me! So I'm now on the waiting list for spinal surgery. I'm lucky in that I don't often suffer from my

R.A damages hips
I was told this week that I need a new right hip and am gutted to say the least as im still getting over spinal surgery I had back in Nov 2014 when I had 3 discs removed from my neck (4,5,6,7 vertebrae) and replaced with carbon fibre cages due to R.A damage. Anybody else had a hip replacement ?? And

Different perspective on Vitamin A

COPD - Feeling cold
Hi everyone. My partner has been diagnosed with stage 3 COPD. We do not have good support from our GP so are learning as we go along. The last few days Peter has been extremely cold. There is no reason for this , weather is warm and warm inside house. Is this a symptom of COPD and if so why? I value

Back from vacation
Well, my family and I just returned from a week of camping. It was nice. Had follow up with Dr. He said if I have COPD, it's probably mild, but he's thinking maybe some type of asthmatic component. Breathing still sucks... can't breath deep, only shallow. Changed my med again, now on Dulera twice

Mollaret’s meningitis reloaded, and ‘how to change your life, and still have one’: Feedback and additional advice sought
Hi Guys, I had planned to make this post about 6 months after my last bout of VM, but things moved in some odd directions for a while, with a bit of a relapse for good measure. However, it’s now a good time to share back some updates for anyone interested/bored of the tennis. Thanks again to all the

Legs weakness
Good morning to every one. I would like to ask if having emphysema has any thing to do with legs weakness. I have nearly gone over a few time, but this morning they gave up on me. I went like a bag of spuds. I also get red hot feet and ice cold feet, I had my spine fixed in 2000. So I thought me legs

First appointment at St Thomas'
Well folks, the day has arrived, I'm off to see the Pain Service at St Thomas' this afternoon for assessment. They will be assessing whether I am a candidate for Spinal Cord Stimulation ( SCS) and I'm at that jangly and overwhelmed place of really not wanting to go, not having the stomach for yet more

Joint pain on Quitiapine
Hi, Has anybody experienced the side effect of joint / bone pain and muscle weakness on Quitiapine? I've been on this for 4.5 months and am on 400mg (from 600mg) and this has escalated for me (despite my dose reducing) to the point that I'm considering coming off/ switching meds. From a mental health

Full blood results raised TSH several highlighted results high b12. Have a look and see what you think?
Hello Full blood results for all you clever people. TSH is raised and antibodies are low. I suspect I've been a bit thyroid odd for a long time but just got on with it and not found it too bad. My mum is also borderline underactive but again, copes with it. I started in March with sudden hair loss,

Vitamin A debate 😊
Hi everyone Looking in my local pharmacy, I didn't see vitamin A. I'm wondering how many of you are taking it. Also how much are you taking? Do you have to order it? I Know your not supposed to take over 10,000 safety. I was thinking cod liver oil. Anyone use that? Do you feel it's helping you
