Night Blindness
Is anyone troubled by this? I haven't been able to drive in the dark for a few years now and it's a real pain. I seem to have a problem with Vit A/Beta Carotene as I have Carotenemia. I take a Vit A supplement a couple of times a week but it's no better. Anyone got any ideas please? Thanks :-)

Pleased with myself then .....
I've been under the care of a really good pain consultant for nearly a year now. One of the things he explained to me is how too much medication can in fact amplify your pain instead of stopping it. So I stopped my oramorph and have been steadily decreasing my dose of MST (morphine sulphate tablets)

Glasses for double vision - and who knows what else?
I have rather exciting personal news :) . Some of you will remember that the neuro-optometrist diagnosed me with a visual processing disorder last month. His lenses helped me slightly (better focus, wider focal field, better 3D vision) but he felt a specialist in Scotland could give more help. I'm now

Full length mirror
Hi all, today I went into the changing rooms of a shop to try on a shawl. I could not believe how enormous I am. I was 11st (5' 6'') 3 years ago when I began suffering from excruciating sciatica. I quickly became debilitated and so just sat around comfort eating for 2 years until spinal surgery finally

Rituxan (Rituxamab) - Worth looking into with your doctor to help with APS symptoms (especially headaches)
I was first diagnosed with APS over 8 years ago. The headaches have been my primary complaint the whole time, as I never had them at all before being diagnosed with APS. I've tried everything imaginably possible to relieve the headaches including watching my INR closer (my target is 3.0 to 4.0) and

Lithotripsy and Spinal Fusions
My name is Karen and I have a history of kidney stones. The last kidney stone was a 16 mm stone and took two lithotripsy's to break it up. I have also had a lumbar fusion L5 & S1 in 2001 and my latest x-ray showed a post surgical change in the Lumbosacral spine. This was noted from X-rays done between

New appointment for pain management
I had L5/S1
spinal
fusion
in March 2015. All of last year did not seem too bad, either that or I kept telling myself to give my back time to heal and that it would get better. This year I'm not so sure.

Back surgery update
I decided to go for it and had a
spinal
fusion
along with a lamenectomy. It appears that it is successful...some bits of info that I learned as a result that may help someone else are....they gave me the equivalent of 100mg of prednisone during the surgery and for one day afterward.

Back Spasms
Has anyone experienced continuous back spasms? No meds have helped to date. The next step is to try a spinal cord stimulator. Any one used this device and their experience?

Spinal cord stimulator
So I've been diagnosed with CRPS for the last year. This month I finally met with a consultant who wanted to get right now to treatment. I'd already tried most other treatments and was referred to a consultant at St Thomas London for a spinal cord stimulator. Despite many doctors being concerned that
