Cochlear implants
Hi,, I’m beginning to sound like a broken record. I have a cochlear implant , debating whether it’s been worth all of the hassle of having it in as it’s been painful. Has anyone out there had great success with theirs ? Thanks Jenny 😊

Pneumococcal vaccine in short supply.
Today, Sharon has officially been diagnosed with moderate COPD, about which I have had strong suspicions about, for over a month. The GP has said she needs to have the Pneumococcal vaccine, of course, especially with working in a nursing home. Sharon then asks the receptionist to make an appointment

Scientists develop world's first light-activated antimicrobial surface that also works in the dark.
Researchers at UCL have developed a new antibacterial material which has potential for cutting hospital acquired infections. Hospital-acquired infections are a major issue for modern medicine, with pathogens like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Clostridium difficile (C. diff) getting

Exhausting
Hi all.. what to do. I have no trouble falling asleep but its keeping asleep. I wake around 4 times a night every night and I'm exhausted. My pain from fibro and arthritis wakes me as my body hates being still. I'm in agony when I'm woken up and try to move that I end up getting up and moving around

Tinnitus spikes
I have been suffering from tinnitus and hyperacusis for the last five years. The worse is that my condition spikes up very frequently to the point of despair. Doctors recommend to go to emergency Hospitals for intravenous injection of stedon (Valium ) which now I am addicted to. Is there someone with

Pleurodesis?
I had a chance to speak with my doctor today for the follow-up to the thoracentesis. I was told that I am now at stable disease. I had the second thoracentesis in six weeks with another 1.1 liters pulled out. My treatment options are pretty slim as if right now. I'd never originally responded to first

How I tackle fibromyalgia
I actually have a very good herbal tea blend that does just as well made of white
willow
bark
, peppermint, ashwaghanda ( sp?), slippery elm, poppy seed and holy basil. I drink it a few days a month when I get a flare up. Gratitude makes it easier.

having one’s replies switched off
I was unaware I’d committed a contravention(!) and extremely relieved the only punishment was to have my replies switched off! If we’re splitting hairs about what constitutes natural, the only additives in the products prescribed to me by Dr Peatfield are: Each capsule contains: Bovine Thyroid Gland

Phew!
As Mark Twain said The reports of my impending death are greatly exaggerated Just went to see the ENT specialist and he said EVERYTHING IS CLEAR I said how do you explain this then and showed him the encologist letter. He was visibly shocked and said he knew nothing about it. He read the X-ray report

Upper GI Results
If I were to have an upper GI barium swallow test, would taking a PPI affect the results? If I do have reflux would the test show that I don’t since I am taking medication for it?

Pycnogenol and Tinnitus
I am looking into alternatives for the aspirin I now need to take daily. One of the products I've come across is pycnogenol. I am looking for a blood anti-coagulant but found some very interesting stuff about pycnogenol and tinnitus that I thought it might be good to share on the forum. It seems that

IL-8, The Inflammatory Mediator That Is 220% + Higher In PWP Cerebrospinal Fluid Than In Control Subjects And Possible Ways To Deal With It
In a recent reply post to forum member Parkie13 (Mary) I was discussing the chemokine Interleukin-8 (IL-8) and its relationship to PD and Multiple Sclerosis(MS) which I had only recently read about myself. The conversation got going because the post was discussing the possibility that MS may be caused

How do I get rid of shin splints?
Well, it is a fibromyalgia flare up, not shin splints, but they feel like that. When I get this bad flare up, I struggle to walk on my legs but then I sit down and the pain doesn't ease. Any recommendations?

Barium swallow rest
Just had a swallow test done and it has shown the muscle at the top of the throat is not working as it should but of more concern is the problem the arthritis is creating. It showed the esophgous - sorry not sure of spelling - is being narrowed by the extra bony bits growing by the cervical spine. These
