I’m back😁. Used to be Dtech.
Been a while since I was last on here. I didn’t go on a lot unless I could help with anything. So jock update. I’m now happily retired. Dog walking and playing golf. Going on occasional holidays. Had a week in Seville to celebrate my 70th birthday. January I had a bad hip. Thought it was just a strain

Tapering
It is some time since I posted anything about my PMR journey, but want to share my recent tapering experience. I have been on prednisone for 4.5 years and struggled over covid lockdowns being able to talk to anyone, gp or rheumatoid, when I was having what I thought were flares of pmr when trying to

Caution: regarding medical procedure to insert a gel to protect organs while undergoing radiation
I’m 73 and I recently had this procedure done and it seems to be working well. But a word of caution. I’ve had some severe back problems where 3 vertebra are pinching nerves for several years. Typically the pain is sporadic and only a 3-4 out of 10. I have in the past had a couple very painful bouts

I have asked my GP for a learning disabilities assessment to keep getting help from a family support worker, but He said that He would chase my ASD assessment instead. I am really worried because our actual family support worker is leaving us as our daughter is 18 next month, but I cannot make conversations

struggling to get diagnosed
Since I was 13 I have been dealing with significant pain in my lower abdomen and back, particularly during my menstrual cycle. The intensity of the pain has been increasing, to the point where it is impacting my ability to carry out normal daily activities some days. Additionally, I have been experiencing

Unable to take NSAID's due to blood thinners...
I suffer from chronic glute/back pain due to lumbar spinal stenosis, but am unable to take NSAID's due to taking Rivaroxaban blood thinners. Is there any effective pain killer that I can take?...

Intrinsic factor
I seem to be at a sticking point with the findings of the intrinsic factor test. This is due to the way they now interpret the test results. My test result was Au/ml 1.63 ... Which I jumped with joy over as I thought "at last, this proves I have been telling the truth". How wrong I was. It is no longer

40+ years of Exhausting Fibro!!
Hi everyone, I have not been on this forum for a long time now due to declining health and numerous personal stuff (all pretty traumatic/stressful unfortunately!) Anyway, in early February this year I developed a really painful right arm/shoulder that I felt wasn't fibro-related. Local chiropractor said

Alverine and/or Simalvia - (which is alverine citrate with simethicone.) Side effects.
I have recently been put on these. I have found that both the standard alverine citrate, which I had tried first, now the Simalvia, cause feelings of extreme anxiety about an hour after taking the tablet! Weird and not listed in the side effects. So far it seems ineffective on the pain anyway. Would

Pain Management
I am not yet diagnosed with Endo but waiting some tests. My period pains are becoming more and more unmanageable with the prescriptions pain meds I have. Currently I will take Codeine, Naproxen and Paracetamol to their fullest dosage but sometimes it doesn’t relieve me of pain or at least not for

Have I made a mistake
I posted last weekend about having lower back pain and being sick after taking my pred. Apologies for the long post. The pain in my lower back and side has continued and moved down the front of my leg which is numb. I saw the GP who said I had a trapped nerve to take painkillers and if no better

TAVI and pain meds
What is the feeling about TAVI? I read it is riskier than SAVR, also pain medication not so keen on epidurals Sandra

Could this be PMR?
Hi there. I have been lurking in the background for a while. I have OA and in fact had both hips replaced-2014 and 2021 to great effect!! However for the past 2 years or so I have had various rounds of physio to try and resolve a stiff neck and sciatic pain. No real relief and Ibruprofen doesn’t help
