Feeling Guilty
My Husband was diagnosed with Picks Disease 9 months ago. I am still working full time and feel so guilty about it. I blame me for him talking to himself due to him being on his own. I cant afford to stop working due to husband not working for years due to lots of other health issues. Crohns Disease.

Chronic pain with so much to live for but so little feelings of wanting to.
I'm so fed up with chronic pain everyday myself. I had a spine injury from a spinal cord stimulator trial about a year-and-a-half ago. I lost most of the use of my left leg and live a life of chronic pain. I can get around with a cane but the pain is so bad I find it hard to do anything. Even sitting

Joint pain
I quit going to doctors and taking meds (hydroxychloroquine, enbrel and mythelprednosolone) and started crossfit which did help until I needed
spinal
fusion
(bounce house not crossfit) which did help somewhat. I am now wondering if the joint pain may have been related to HS/APS?

Is surgery good news?
So at last I have been referred for surgery....the Referral was going to take forever on the NHS so I begged, borrowed and stole to raise £295 to see a private consultant. My appointment was ONE HOUR long! Definitely worth the money for the peace of mind and confidence that he gave me. A week later I

What to do?
I saw my Rheumy today. It seems she wants me to continue on Rituxan but also go back on MTX injections. I must admit I am torn. I delayed Rituxan for a month and it did not trigger a flare. My inflammation remains low but the pain and fatigue are still extreme. My range of motion is very limited. She

Pain now or pain later
After over a year of tests and checks it seems that the facet joints at the base of my

My First Day
I have recently had a
spinal
fusion
so at the moment I can do core strengthening exercises only. Five years ago I lost 4 stone on a drink and eat diet and was more on the too skinny chart. Now, having little exercise and eating more, I need to lose the 4 stone that has crept on.
