AFTER RADIATION--SUCCESS!
On April 27, I completed a series of 20 palliative radiation treatments to my prostate, which had begun to grow again, after more than three years of being controlled and being shrunk by the hormone therapy. (prostate couldn't be removed because of invasion of the bladder and against the rectum

Where to go next
Hi I have just found your site after a few days of internet research. I have been suffering with "chronic pain" for the last four years or so. It started as an almost constant headache which then progressed to tingling and lack of strength in my arms. Over the years this has increased again and I now

Not sure where to go
Hi, I am new to the group. Having been suffering with chronic pain for three/four years now and seemingly getting nowhere except being prescribed more and more pain killers and neuropathic drugs; I'm beginning to research conditions and seem to have a great number of symptoms of Fibromyalgia. It appears

Hello everyone
I was diagnosed with seropositive RA in Feb this year, I started COBRA treatments straight away, but the flares have continued to get worse, I have had many steroid injections and even via iv, sadly nothing seems to be working at the moment and now ultrasounds have shown the start of damage in my shoulders

Yet another anti-inflamatory!
I went to the docs this week as I'm STILL flaring! I've been increasing my mtx: 10 (3-4 months) 15 (2 weeks) 17.5 (2 weeks) -20mg this week. I'm now on 5 days of folic acid also. I've been on Naproxen then diclofenic then Ibruprofen- little to no effect. Steroid injections have never helped; steroid

Depigmentation of my skin
Hi I've stated to get white marks of depigmentaion as my rheumatologist described it on my face and it's really upsetting me I have medium dark skin and it's really noticeable and nothing seems to cover it up. I'm really sad as I've got lupus sle and it's already taken my hair and now it wants to destroy

First appointment
Hi all, I attended rheumatology for my first appointment today. So the consultant said the rhuematoid factor was positive 112 but inflammation markers were low, then she did and examination and said she didn't think my joints were too inflamed so she said she wasn't confident making a diagnosis and

New to RA and osteo arthritis
Having a hard time with the medicine methotrexate 9 pills once a week. On steroid injections in my back from bone spurs and on prednisone. Combine all this with pain patches and ibuprofen. This is the start of my third month. I have no energy and losing hair. When will the medicine start working.

I'm getting quite embarrassed when at work or having to go out with the excessive sweating. I've had steroid injection and I take anti inflamitory every day but feel it's

A rare kind of bird?
I'm very lucky to have been spared RA diagnosis until 70+ years after I first came to the notice of pre-NHS orthopaedics, hence my attempts to stay 'chirpy' in the face of adversity. [Wow, that's almost poetic!] Why choose 'Dodo' for a username? Well, an elderly gentleman dentist chose it for me
