Hello Not sure where to start. I had some blood tests done through Blue Horizon because of many symptoms I thought were hyperthyroidism. I had, two years ago, finally managed to get my weight just above 9 stone. Then over the course of a month went down to 8 stone 4. Drenching night sweats were awful

My story won't apply to everyone, of course, but you may find a nugget worth considering. I've had mild RLS intermittently for forty years until it recently worsened. I'd always managed it with weighted heat, L-Tryptophan, magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, and if necessary, a little pacing. At age 36,

AF after Covid jab
I have had 4 Covid jabs and each time have had a reaction that confined me to bed for at least 48 hours. In April 2022 after my pre op I underwent a total knee replacement - all went fine. I returned to have the pre op for my other knee to find that my heart beat was very irregular - AF had developed

Hi All, Further to my previous posts, I continue to be very unwell, with my main symptoms being severe fatigue and disabling cognitive symptoms. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I do also have a diagnosis of CFS/ME (for what that is worth) which has fluctuated in severity for the last 22 years

sciatica
I’ve had sciatica for a few years. Was going to physical therapy and was helping. The day before Easter I fell and landed on my tail bone. Since then it’s back with a vengeance. My whole left leg gets numb. I had a left hip replacement in 2020. Drs say I have spinal stenosis and need spinal surgery.

Op cancelled & statistics
My AVR scheduled for 2nd May has been cancelled because my CRP level is high. I've asked what the level is, and how it compares to a normal level and acceptable/inoperable level, but the surgeon's secretary didn't know, neither did the pre-op team at the hospital, and I don't know when/if I'll be seeing
