Nervo Spinal Cord Stimulation
I am new to the site. I am considering the use of the Nervo device to relieve my pain. I am signed up for the trial next month and I wonder if anyone who has had experience with the device would share the benefits and any bad news.

Hi I am new and I am confused by results and symptoms. I had an ultrasound which showed I have a bulky thyroid gland in 2012. I had a second ultrasound in 2015 which showed the thyroid was hypoechoic. Since this time I have a goitre that has been growing down into my chest and I was diagnosed hypothyroid

Hello, I'm a newbie but have been registered for a little while now, reading members posts via the app. I've put weight on over the years and I'm now at my heaviest and I hate it. The reason why - a bad back for many years culminating in spinal surgery last Christmas. I've got a fantastic physio

Help with Private Test Results
Hi everyone, I finally bit the bullet and paid for some private testing after the Lab kept refusing to do anything requested by my GP aside from TSH. I've just had my results back and was hoping someone knowledgeable on here might be able to confirm/contradict the comments made by the private GP? Results

Hyperinflation of the lungs
My
spinal
tap
came back abnormal with protein levels of 77. Now they can't seem to find out why. The did a chest X-ray because I have been short of breathe and not able to make it up the stairs sometimes. My breathing becomes labored and I just can't get that refreshing breathe in.

Misdiagnosed with MS - lesions but no clots
My brain and optic nerve did not show any abnormalities which puzzled the neuro, so he sent me for a
spinal
tap
. The results showed the typical MS banding in my
spinal
fluid and he proceeded to tell me what my MS treatment options were.
