Is one more prone to catching colds just after a dose reduction?
In Aug 2011 I developed PMR which was treated initially with 15mg of Pred. Currently on 1.25mg(2.5/0 alternate days). On advice from GP I am reducing slightly once a month and blood tests are normal, PMR getting better slowly. My husband has had cold after cold this winter. Every time I have reduced

Humira for R.A. and cold sores.
Humira is great for my R.A. but I am getting huge cold sores on my mouth every month. I think the Humira lowers the resistance to any virus infection. Has anyone else had this inconveniant side effect?

New drug trial
Novartis International AG ( NVS ) said the 64-week SPARK study results demonstrated that investigational once-daily dual bronchodilator QVA149 was more effective at reducing all chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD exacerbations, compared with glycopyrronium 50 mcg and open-label or OL tiotropium

IN GOOD HEALTH VII: REPAIRING THE MYELIN SHEATHING WITH DIET
As stated in my previous blog, here is the best material I came across during my research: http://helenpapas.wordpress.com/2012/02/22/can-you-eat-to-reverse-multiple-sclerosis/ The doctor who devised this natural diet was wheelchair bound because of MS, but did not give up until she was able to

Yesterday was results day.. a mixed bag
So I went back to Papworth yesterday to get my results of recent tests, have been left with mixed feelings really. CT scan showed no worsening since previous scan - air trapping and atelectasis with the obvious lung reduction from scoliosis but no evidence of bronchiectasis thankfully :) LFT's showed

why am I run down ?
I am taking 4 mg Neupro patches and up to 1 mg Ropinorole per night and I have developed cold sores and mouth ulcers and the pharmacist says I am run down - is there a link here - do I need to change medication ? My meds are controlling my RLS but I am getting insomnia and cold sores. I feel run down

Does anyone suffer with itching inside and outside the ear and what is the best treatment to use?
I have read previously of a link to PBC of itching of the ear and this is what I have put it down to. I suffer intermittently with this problem so I suppose I am fortunate in a way that it does not happen all the time (every 3/4 months).... I don't get itching any where else. I get severe itching inside

Any experience of spinal cord stimulation?
Pain mmgt specialist suggests I try but it sounds like a torture! I can't face going to the gp for a referral to discuss because that's an ordeal and I always work myself up and end up sobbing so they think I'm a nut and I usually walk out with a prescription for anti Ds which I don't think work and

I'm on levothyroxine, am I still more susceptible to colds, viruses etc? Please help I could lose my job.
Maybe about a year ago I mentioned to my doctor that I seemed to catch every cold etc that was in the vacinity. She said "Of course you do - you've got an underactive thyroid!" I was stunned - I thought that would stop once I was on levothyroxine. Is she right? My manager is trying to put me on a

Dare I add a modicum of realism here
I am NOT against supplements if we have been advised them by our GPs or tests show us to be lacking in something.... But if you look around there are millions of people out there without fibro whose diets are probably a lot worse than ours and they are having a much healthier time than we are with our
