Has anyone had a spinal fusion - with good results? And how do you get a 2nd opinion?

SMOKING!!!
Just reading through some BLOGS with regards to SMOKING. Just wanted to congradulate everyone for stopping SMOKING and for everone trying to stop. It is a great hurdle to cross, even the thought of giving up was hard for me. I just want to say a big well done and keep up the good work

Sores in my nose....
I've been living with Churg-Strauss for eight years and have been up and down the pred doses in that time. For the last few months I've been experiencing sores in my nose that bleed. I thought they were cold sores but now I'm not so sure. Both sides of my septum are sore and bleeding pretty much all

Hello :)
I've spent ages reading the forums - didnt realise they existed until recently! I've been looking for experiences with Xolair, as I have my outpatient appointment at Papworth tomorrow and want to ask them if they will consider it for me. I have severe asthma, with allergies - which I may cope with

The 'black dog' is finally lifting and I am gradually getting back to normal thank goodness.
Its never lasted so long before or been so bad for ages - over 2 weeks. I cant talk or type or speak to people when its on. I just feel like a big inert lump who just stares mindlessly at the telly and sleeps a lot. I did force myself out some but speaking and putting on a happy face was exhausting

Stupid or not?
I may be stupid and that is one answer but if i am not then someone may have the answer for me. Either way i get a result. I had a heart attack followed by a quad bypass(during which i suffered cardiac arrest) and was found to have FH. My current total chol is 4.5. I had been taking medication(Bisoprolol

The morning after the day before
Yesterday was Wk 1 Day 1. Been preparing with loads of power walking, losing weight, but still got out of bed and thought: Hello calves, didn't expect that. But overall feeling good. I'm half way on my weight loss journey but still have another 1st 6lbs to go. The monkey I've got to get off

Can anyone suggest a good supplement to help with general joint stiffness?
Already take cod liver oil but just wondered if anyone had any other recommendations.

Has anyone had rls change to something else?
I had painful rls all my life, i then had spinal surgery and was prescribed tramadole for pain relief. Since then my rls has completely stopped but has been replaced by myoclonus jerks and a lot of random limb movement during times of rest and sleep. The tramadole is the only thing that keeps me still
