Experiences with

Work-related accidents

I need your feedback on my weak, wobbly legs. I’m on my 4th month on this PMR journey. I’m slowly reducing and I’m presently at 22,5 and am feeling OK. My biggest worry are my legs, will they ever come back to normal. I ‘ve read about steroid myopathy which is sometimes irreversible!! I use to walk

I'm shortly to have a partial knee replacement by epidural. (Apparently, the hospital doesn't use GA's.) I'm worrying now how this might effect my RLS. Does anyone have experience of surgery via an epidural please?

Hello all, New on Besremi, no other meds prior, just infrequent phlebotomies. Doses were 100-50-50... not really high. After first dose high blood pressure and GI issues.

I had a personal crisis today where I was harassed and attacked by my older half sister in the past few days by email, text message, and also visiting my house.

I was pleased to see another poem from Don, and I replied to say that I would write anoter short tale. The only problem was that later in te day I could not remember what I was going to write about.

I took Binosto at 7am yesterday morning and felt fine. However during the early hours of this morning I felt nauseous and had a slight headache. Could this be side effects or would you expect side effects to be felt closer to when taken. I would be grateful to know your experience.

hi I have severe pain from a prolapsed disc. I spent ten days in hospital in November and left with 300mg tapentadol a day (2 tablets) plus paracetamol. I’ve since started having oc ibuprofen too which definitely helps. Over the next two months with physio and movement plus the meds my pain went from

I am on the waiting list for a hip replacement and would like to ask of experiences. I do not take medication for my RLS, preferring to work through it, but am now getting a bit anxious on how I will cope after the op if my legs kick off especially when I get home. Is it best to have an epidural or

A lifetime of constipation issues, 15 years of Parkinson’s meds, and now the dire need for both hips to be replaced, has slowed me to a standstill - in more ways than one. The upside is that I have been accepted at a hospital Functional Gut Center and have been working with experts who are taking my

Hello everyone! I take care of MIL and she was recently diagnosed with PSP. It has become increasingly hard to understand this disease there always seems to be something new.
