"I swear you're just like a pill, stead of making it better you keep making me ill"
Would some of you kindly share some success stories with me, I am chemically intolerant, Can't use fragrance, can't take hormones, can't drink alcohol, so I rely on things like heating pads, tens machine, cod liver oil tummy pads. I get migraines from shampoo's or deodorants if they are not fragrance

New CKD Diagnosis....age 43
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with CKD Stage 3. I am 43 with 3 children 21, 17 and 10. The damage to my kidneys has come about as a result of taking Naproxen and Ibruprofen for approx 2 years for a spinal complaint. I stopped all medication following a successful spinal fusion in June 2012,

Cystoscopy - advise please
Good Morning! My husband has just received his letter calling him to hospital for the above procedure in a couple of weeks. He uses ambulatory oxygen so we will take that with us and I have noted it says that the "nurse will talk you for the procedure" - doubtful will get a wheelchair. Just wondered

Spinal Cord Stimulator
Hi Folks, My PM doc seems to be nearly at the end if the road with me - I've been a chronic pain patient for nearly 40 years now - I'm 60 this month. He's listed me for one more procedure but after that the only option is for referral on for assessment for a SPS. He is not very optimistic about this

News Just In.....
Are you all sitting comfortably? I doubt that but I'll begin anyway! So with the lidocaine infusion a wash out I'm back on the hospital treadmill to see what can be done. I am reluctant to have any more spinal surgery, not least because I have so much scar tissue that the last time they had to go in

Op with a cold??
Hi all, I'm due to have surgery on Thursday, and think I have a cold starting! Children went back to school last week and both have colds and I think have passed it on to me. Will it stop me having surgery? No cough just bit of sore throat and runny nose, thanks in advance for advice!

Suprecur nasal spray - cold sore breakout
Hi everyone, I started taking suprecur (burselin) nasal spray on Saturday and I've broken out in cold sores on my lip. Has anyone heard of this being a side effect? I have had cold sores in the past on the odd occasion but have taken 2 in the space of 2 days, not sure if it's related but any advise

Really confused now
Have been told I am low on Vitamin D when I have a good diet, am out all the time and take 1000mg cod liver oil daily. Could this be due to under medicated thyroid.

Things that have helped and Things that haven't
Hello All, I hope that the following list, from my own long journey, may help someone. What didn't help: Wishing it would go away and other avoidant behaviours Pushing myself too hard and not pushing myself enough - its a double edged sword Unkind people - you learn who your true friends are Insensitive

I got a cold and lap on Tuesday
Hi I got a cold after coming back from pre-assessment on last Tuesday (12/8) and I am booked my lap next Tuesday (19/8). My cold is not so bad, no temperature not much coughing or sore throat. Just occasional blocked nose and tiredness. At the beginning I thought my hay fever got worse but by Wednesday

W2 R3 complete, at long last my knees did not feel like they were with me the whole time. I was a little anxious about running today, as for some unknown reason I have had a touch of vertigo yesterday and today. I have found it hard to balance due to feeling dizzy. I did start taking vitamin D and cod

Dental work and AF
Has anyone had experience of AF getting worse after root fillings or being told after AF started that they need a lot of dental work?
