Problem with EBV
Hi all I have active EBV, but I can't take Lysine because it reduces my sleep-5,6 hours and I sleep very poorly by waking up several times during the night. My question is, is there anything else that can successfully replace Lysine. I've tried taking Valtrex, but I'm even worse off it, because it's

Meds not working well again
My PD husband and has been taking 4 or 5 sinemet 50/250 CR for about a year and started using neuropro patch 2mg 6 months ago. He was on madopar for several years prior, but it was never right for him. Suddenly it seems his meds aren't working and the pd symptoms are severe again. The neurologist

DBS: Medtronic question re. voice
Hi everyone. As many of you know I had DBS last August. Didn’t reverse my symptoms 5 years as was touted by my neuro but patched me up to fight another couple of rounds. When I was switched on, after a day or so I noticed that it was much harder to speak: volume and articulacy were much harder to produce

sciatica
I’ve had sciatica for a few years. Was going to physical therapy and was helping. The day before Easter I fell and landed on my tail bone. Since then it’s back with a vengeance. My whole left leg gets numb. I had a left hip replacement in 2020. Drs say I have spinal stenosis and need spinal surgery.

Great letter sums it up! Hi. My name is Hashimoto's. I'm an invisible autoimmune disease that attacks your thyroid gland causing you to become hypothyroid. I am now velcroed to you for life. If you have hypothyroidism, you probably have me. I am the number one cause of it in the U.S. and many

BJM Investigation - Galleri promises to detect multiple cancers—but new evidence casts doubt on this much hyped blood test, 08/07/2024
Seems the potential conflicts-of-interests between private healthcare companies and government regulators are not limited to the US. The near-universal policy to follow-the-money seems to also hold true in the UK as well. From the BJM Report: * * * [i]Big promises have been made for the Galleri blood

My TENS unit experience
I purchased a TENS machine recently having read on various forums of others' success with it for RLS. The first night i went very gently, using it at 1/5th of the recommended intensity for approximately 10 minutes. The second night, i upped the intensity to 1/3 of the recommended amount. I also used

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)
I would like to share my experience with transcutaneous (that means through the skin) electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), a method of pain relief using a mild electrical current. A TENS machine is a small inexpensive device with electrodes connected to sticky pads. I've been using it on my hands 3 times

EMG and Afib?
has anyone had an EMG and if so did it trigger Afib? The doctor says it shouldn’t, but my first episode was the day after TENS on my feet at physical therapy… Thanks!

Advice needed
Hi, my wife has endometriosis and I am wondering just how exactly I can convince a Dr about the level of pain she is in? Her journey started with very heavy and long periods on average between 10-20 days of very heavy bleeding, then she would have 3-5 days without and then again 10-20 days bleeding
