Fibromyalgia
I have just read a article saying that all vitamins are synthetic and do us no good whatsoever, in fact some are made from coal tar. To get pure vitamins puts up the price considerably and the British Manufacturers seem to go down the synthetic route. When you look on the web for information about Fibromyalgia

New CKD Diagnosis....age 43
Hi, I have recently been diagnosed with CKD Stage 3. I am 43 with 3 children 21, 17 and 10. The damage to my kidneys has come about as a result of taking Naproxen and Ibruprofen for approx 2 years for a spinal complaint. I stopped all medication following a successful spinal fusion in June 2012,

HASHIMOTO’S HELP PLEASE!! Should I increase or decrease my levothyroxine? Or what should I do?!!
I really don’t know what to do and my GP admits to being clueless. I am waiting for an endocrinology appointment but in the meantime would really appreciate some advice. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s hypothyroidism and started on Levothyroxine in June 2014. Started on 50mcg, increased every 3 weeks

News Just In.....
Are you all sitting comfortably? I doubt that but I'll begin anyway! So with the lidocaine infusion a wash out I'm back on the hospital treadmill to see what can be done. I am reluctant to have any more spinal surgery, not least because I have so much scar tissue that the last time they had to go in

Spinal Cord Stimulator
Hi Folks, My PM doc seems to be nearly at the end if the road with me - I've been a chronic pain patient for nearly 40 years now - I'm 60 this month. He's listed me for one more procedure but after that the only option is for referral on for assessment for a SPS. He is not very optimistic about this

Can the cure be worse than the disease?
After my MRI showed brain and
spinal
cord damage, MS was ruled out with a
spinal
tap
. My neurologist finally diagnosed PA. Apparently the brain and
spinal
damage shown from PA (subacute spinal degeneration) mimics MS.

What a fiasco!
Hi there I am sure like a lot of others on this site that the process we all go through when diagnosed with an ovarian cyst is less than perfect. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster for the last 6 weeks as my cyst is complex with solid components, multilobulated and with multiple septations

Hi, is the disappearance of the fever a good sign? And does each consecutive seizure that shortens in duration mean progressive recovery?

You may remember that i was going in for some spinal surgery last month. The surgery went well and i now have a substantial amount of hardware going from the middle of my skull down to the bottom of my neck. They also removed some pressure off my spinal cord caused from a vertebrae. I had an excellent

Week 7 first run
I have just completed the first run of week 7 using the podcasts. Have to say these are great, I would not have done it without them. I had spinal fusion surgery 11 months ago and have not even been able to run for a bus in years, I walked with a stick 3 years ago. I have amazed myself with what I can

OK everyone, I had my fusion Wednesday the 16th. Yes it is extremely painful but I made it and already feel better. I had 6 screw's 2 pins and a plate installed. That carved a peace of hip bone to help fuse everything. I can't walk too well just yet but really pushing my self. I guess I was scared
