Movelat Cream
I was wondering if any of you GPtypes could help me. I have just been prescribed (last Friday) movelat cream as I have a sprained ligament in my knee (but have chronic knee condition anyway). BUT I was reading the info today and it says beware if you have asthma (or words to that effect) - do you know

Finally might be getting my ingrown nail sorted.
Hiya blogging is still bewildering to me, been suffering from an ingrowing toe nail for about four years. Been on several lots of antiobiotics, for it. Had it removed well part of it at my local dr's surgery I was at the time. Then I had the rest of it removed at my local doctor's surgery. A third time

Hypnosis in asthma treatment
I am a health psychologist in training studying the use of hypnosis in asthma for my doctorate. My GP put me on to hypnosis and autogenic training to help my own asthma control, so I know about its benefits on a personal basis. Is anyone aware of any studies being done with hypnosis or relaxation with

Pycnogenol
Have seen articles in newsapapers about Pycnogenol. It is also referred to on this asthma site news as ""'An add-on treatment made from pine bark extract may help to improve the symptoms of children with mild to moderate asthma, suggests a new study."" This was in 2005. Would appreciate your comments

Looking for people like me
Hi everyone I've been floating around for a while and reading the forums. I note with concern that many of you are in and out of hospital and use nebulisers every day. My asthma seems different and I was wondering if any of you have similar symptoms or any idea what could help. I'm not even sure it's

Occupational asthma
hello,can any of you good people help?-I am putting out ""feelers""at work about getting some kind of official definition of whether or not I should be classified as having occupational asthma or,at least,work-aggravated asthma-my own asthma problems started the same week that I was moved to a different

Its time ... we need a proper UK assessment.
I have a wonderful son called Lucas. Its terrible to see him suffer. He has a number of triggers that are predictable and on occasion asthma that I cant pin down to anything. I can work on the usual suspects but .. the others ... :( It makes complete sense to try to collate data from asthma sufferers

It's Official
Well - my hospital appointment yesterday was very tiring but also drew a line under the rest of my life. Got the head honcho who told me everything they had looked at and that appart from the fact that I was slightly hypertensive and was walking like a cripple (he has a very appropriate sense

Everything fine post Oesophagectomy in 2004 but recently having swallowing problems again with reflux. A Roux-En-Y op. was mentioned.
Had the Oesophagectomy done back in 2004 for Achalasia. Then i remained generally problem free. It is only in the last 11 months that my old swallowing and reflux problems are recurring. I have had to have 2 dilatations in recent months. The surgeon mentioned my having a Roux-En-Y operation in the near

Does anyone else suffer with wanting to throw up after eating. I have suffered from this since my op in January this year.
Since my op I have had an endoscopy, a barium swallow and the latest was the balloon stretch to see if this would help with my sickness problem. I cannot seem to eat very well at all, unless it's sloshy things, mostly a sweet instead of a savoury meal. I desperately want to eat but it just doesn't

Post paracentesis painful lump
I had a paracentesis procedure prior to starting my chemo. After draining about 5 litres of fluid the site dried up but I'm left with an egg-shaped, fist size, hard and slightly painful lump at the entry point of the drain. Has anyone else experienced this? My second cycle of chemo is next week and I'm

The slippery slope

The Hardest Hit ..Disability March
I cannot remember a protest march that was so good natured and amiable. It was more of a gathering of people concerned with highlighting the injustice that is about to happen, and in some instances is already happening. The issues are many but here are a few: ...Cuts to Social Services funding meaning

I am diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis and Raynaud's. My consultant thinks I have another autoimmune disease too. Can anyone help me?
I have had minor joint pains for years plus fatigue. In April of 2011 I went into some kind of massive flare up overnight and it lasted for weeks. I had frozen shoulders, wrists and knees, stiff painful knuckles, fingers and thumbs, trigger fingers on my little and ring fingers, Raynaud's phenomenon

Chondritis
My son has had back pain and the GP has suggested chondritis. Isn't this related to RA? I am really hoping you folks will say no. :(

APART FROM FREEXING HANDS & FEET AM ALSO LOSING MUSCLE TONE.
I have noticed that my bottom is disappearing (honestly, not joking). It seems that all the muscle has/is just fading. It is quite so to sit for long periods. Is this normal in lupus/SJS, should I report it to my new Lupus Consultant?
