How do you get taken seriously when 'You look well"
How do you get medical professionals to see that you feel absolutely awful-when you look well? Nothing about me looks as if Im sick and I plod on. But Ive got long term gastritis/IBS/GERD and at present, seem to be stuck in an unending loop of pain and IBS symptoms which vary all the time and have

Painful sciatica
Hi. I have spondylosthesis (bulging disc), L5 area and, having seen a surgeon at the Whittington Hospital, am now on a waiting list for facet joint injections. For the past several months I've had sciatica -- pain down the backs of both legs, worse when it rains (I can tell when it's going to rain) and

Pain above molar teeth that runs across jaw and left side of head.
Hi, I have been suffering from an ache above my top molar teeth on my left hand side. I have had the pain on a few occasions over the last few years which have always cleared up after 5-10 days. My dentist never found a problem but gave me antibiotics a couple of times in case it was a sinus infection

My first post: diagnostic laparoscopy didn't find anything but the horrible pain is still there
Hello, this is my first post here and I apologise for how long it is. I guess I am looking for some hope and advice. I am feeling really upset today because I had another phone call with my new gp who seems not to listen to me. I am forty, I’ve always suffered from bad periods (so did my mum and

Treatment
Hi all, I’m new to the group even though I have been diagnosed with FM for around 15 years. I’ve come to a point where I’m in pain everyday, tired constantly and suffering from depression. I have always worked but the last three years I have had a lot of time off and now they are taking disciplinary

Failed Back Surgery
In 2017 I had a Laminectomy for Severe Spinal Stenosis in L3/4/5. The operation was successful and for 3/4 months I was completely pain free for the first time in years! In 2018 I had a bad fall and this resulted in having a Rotator Cuff Repair which was successful but by now my spinal pain was back

PS to previous post
I just want to clarify that the blood test results I had (from the only blood test I’ve had since diagnosis) for the inflammatory markers were done in the beginning of September, when I was still on around 1mg Prednisolone. Also that the painkillers I take in the morning only help a bit, not a lot. Having

Pin’s 📍are out 👍🏼
Took a little twisting to loosen them up and out they came with no pliers 😱. Little blood 🩸 but not too bad. Was a rough night last night needed a few pain pills, not much sleep. Throbbing this morning but bearable and it’s elevated. PT comes in at 11 o’clock and tomorrow Home Health to change bandages

Finally received Endo diagnosis following laparoscopy... advice/support for next steps please!
Hi Everyone, I had investigative laparoscopy surgery back in October this year. I finally had my endometriosis diagnosed (it's only taken 18 years, for someone to truly listen), it was removed along with scarring and I had a mirena coil fitted. The validation I had after the surgery was unlike anything

RA, Sjogrens desease, Cataracts in both eyes, now Lupus?
Hi All, Can anyone tell me if there is any medication that can help with Lupus? I’m taking Hydroxychloroquine, + several pain killers. The Sjogrens is causing a lot of problems with my eyes, now Lupus is showing it’s ugly head. It would be nice if anyone has any help they can offer.

Zoladex Injections (2/6)
Hello,Just wanted to share my experience and ask if anyone has had similar. The gyne has put me on zoladex for diagnostic purposes. At around 3 weeks after my first injection I had a whole week pain free, despite during week 2 being so bad I was using a wheel chair. It was such a relief as I've had such

No Prednisone, is it dangerous?
Going of prednisone and I was at12mg for awhile. Then suddenly there was a mixup at the pharmacy and now I've gone 2mg a day and now I have no pred. at all, and the drs won't call back with refills. Is it dangerous to go without pred for a few days?? I have been doing very well without too much pain

off pred…. Update
good morning all. I have now been ‘off’ pred for 6 weeks. It’s been a bumpy ride. I started to have pain in my knees and thighs, which made walking and exercise difficult( never had this before). I took pain killers and reminded myself that the HPA triangle may not be up to speed. I started hydrotherapy

Yet more scans, and still stable.
I think I let you all know somewhere here, that I may have to change treatments, due to my Cancer markers rising all the time. I’m feeling more and more pain. Getting more and more tired. But they can’t see anything changing on my scans. so I will remain on Anastrozole and Ibrance for now. This is both
