internal shingles
hi, I’ve been diagnosed with internal shingles and it’s the most painful thing I have ever experienced. I’m on my last day of Aciclovir, I’m taking paracetamol and codeine during the day and 3 amitriptyline at night, this has been going on for over a week. Is this normal? Any advice gladly accepted

Shingles Vaccine Update
Well I never!! I woke to a text message from our GP's surgery to say that I am eligible for a shingles vaccination with a link to book in with a nurse. My GP's obviously looked up the guidelines & though better of her decision! I'm just hoping that after the fight to get it I don't have any adverse

Dog bite not on my Xmas list
So… today, while walking my Old English Sheepdog, three dogs escaped from their leashes and one of them bit my leg. They also tried to bite my dog but because most of her is fur they didn’t reach flesh. I, however, went home and did a cursory clean with hydrogen peroxide and went to urgent care. They

I told her I think I am. She said you don’t qualify just because your are on Methotrexate I told her I'm not on Methotrexate

Hope at last
Hi well after five years of suffering with the most intense burning, agitation, painful genitalia, lack of sleep I finally have a diagnosis of neuropathy. I was referred to a Gynaecologist and after a month received a letter saying there would be a two year wait just to be seen. We decided that I should

Burned Nerves for Spinal Stenosis..
Morning everyone, I had a temporary nerve block the other day in 6 points around my spine. It seemed to work, the surgeon mentioned the next step would be to burn the nerves but this would only give 6 months - 1 year of relief. I just wondered if anybody here has had this done?

Therapulse still working!
As I wrote a month or so ago, Therapulse on each calf is really helping my RLS. I have never used prescribed meds but have tried CBD oil, Gummies etc.. The electronic pulses have really made a huge difference and I use it most evenings for about 15 mins for each leg. Doesn't stop RLS immediately but

Post meningitis
Hi everyone..my now 9 years old daughter had a meningitis when she was 4 n half. She struggles at school, she became a stutter and almost not willing to talk most of the time. It's killing me to see her suffer in her childhood. She doesn't want to play with other kids because of the way she speaks,

Can anyone relate to strange pulsing like a tens machine
Quick back story, as I had a PET CT on Thursday I was trying to reduce the pred quite radically in the hope it would give a better picture of my inflammation, and so as soon as it was done, I took a bigger dose and have done for the last few days. Symptoms radically better but still not great, I would

Thank you for your replies
just recently I posted about my need to pee just after I’ve been and how awful it is. Well thanks to the experiences of those who replied I had lots of questions for my GP. I now have medication for a OAB. Also a ultrasound being sorted out. A referral for the tens machine. Apparently I have to

Anyone with Vagus Nerve Stimulation savvy?
Intimations...you catch a glimpse, hear an echo of something and then your pudding-head distills it and throws up a lifeline, maybe. Seems that vagal tone is extremely important: anyone with experience with it in PD management, feel free to chime in. Thank you very much.

Viral meningitis
My 17 year old daughter was diagnosed with viral meningitis last weekend and this was confirmed on Monday. Initially she was given antiviral and antibiotics because they was unsure if it was bacterial meningitis. She had been unwell for 5 or 6 weeks. Permanent headache that painkillers didn't touch

GCA-Lyme Disease Connection?
Hi all, My wife is a long-time Lyme Disease sufferer, and has recently had a consultation with a biologist/pathologist. This person takes a blood sample and then looks at it under the microscope while the patient is present -- and then comments on what has been seen. My wife had the classic signs
