Just wondering, when doctors talk about 'your age' during discussions are they perhaps referring to physical age, not chronological?
I was set off thinking on this track by various posts/replies where responses have not seemed completely appropriate once the full picture emerged. For instance, if I complained I had been refused a second ablation (I haven't, but not been encouraged) 'considering your age' I know what the reaction from

What do latest blood results mean?
Please could someone help me interpret my latest results? At the beginning of the year my GP reduced my Levo from 150 to 125 as she said I was over medicated. I did as I was told for 3 and a half months and at the end of that period was pretty unwell with fatigue, aching limbs, hair thinning, my fingernails

Peripheral Neuropathy
Hi, I am new to this forum, and am a young elderly lady!! Over the last 5 years have been under 3 Neurologists and the last year or so under my local pain clinic. Finally had the more or less diagnosis of Perioheral Neuropathy ( non diabetic- no obvious cause). In January had a Bilateral spinal nerve

I didn't know psoriasis could almost disappear!
After decades of having to use a coal tar shampoo every 3 days or suffer severe itching, flaking, and red spots that bled, I now can go weeks and sometimes months without using any special shampoo and only occasionally using a 3% salicylic acid shampoo. The coal tar shampoo stunk and had to be followed

Joint Group Meeting at House of Commons with Lord Hunt
Very good meeting at the House of Commons yesterday with Thyroid Trust, ITT, Midlands Thyroid Support, Norfolk Thyroid Group, TPA, BTF and BTA. It was agreed that we would all work on a document with evidence for Lord O'Shaughnessy regarding CCGs not adhering to NHS England guidance on liothyronine.

My doctor diagnosed me
She said I need to see spine specialist and the neurologist that did my
spinal
tap
. So with all said and done. I’m still having really bad headache and pain in my head and shoulders. Well that’s what I have for you guys. Please still pray that they find something to elivate my pain.

Very high dose
And possibly a
spinal
tap
. Not sure about that. My first MRI I had was on May 17th was questionable. So doing another one to compare with that. So far that’s all I have for now. As for where I live I live in 🇺🇸 Albany, New York.

Surgery risk
Hi all, I have severe brittle asthma, and I recently saw neurosurgeon as I have severe lower back pain. I have been told I need a spinal fusion but because of the anaesthetic risk i am not a candidate for surgery. Has anyone else experienced this?

Spinal cord stimulator
I was recently recommended for a spinal cord stimulator (SCS) implant, as I have failed all conservative pain management attempts (both pharmacological and non-pharmacological) for neuropathic pain. I found out earlier this week that I was approved for a four day trial, which is scheduled for 6/25/18

Struggling this time
Hi 10 days post my fourth THR plus pelvic rebuild and am struggling to cope, last year's third seemed so much easier, o.k. am 10 months older (69) but just ache and unable to get comfortable and really don't want to take more than minimum pain relief! I have A.S. with total spinal fusion. Any ideas

Chiropractor for sciatica?
Dear All, Last Christmas my husband strained his back and it has not got better despite ongoing physiotherapy. We don't know if he has "slipped" a disk as the doctors' view is that he should continue with physio and pain control (which has not so far been very effective). A lot of friends have recommended

Scoliosis and Osteopathy
Has anyone had success in being “straightened up” by osteopathy? The scoliosis was caused by my third spinal fusion three years ago. After two treatments, am certainly straighter but the pain is really awful. Is it normal to feel great for two days after treatment, and the dreadful pain kicking in for

Bloods! What is Luc and Iga? Also TSH suppressed
Hi guys, I got my recent blood tests back and the doc wants to see me. I think she might be freaking at the TSH result (She has prescribed me nature thyroid and thinks T4 meds are not good enough). She also said to bring in past results and if TSH is suppressed previously that's probably ok. But would
