Athlete’s foot
Week 8, Run 2 complete and I’m 60! Happy with progress even though I’m slow but I have Athlete’s foot. Wanted to finish the programme before going on holiday next week. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, did you stop until it healed?

Thyroid illness anyone? Maybe not.
I have written at some length on here before about misdiagnoses. We believed for many years that my daughter was suffering from hypothyroidism and other related endocrine problems. She was tested and treated privately in Britain and Belgium for those conditions. However, we were wrong. We didn't dig

Restless legs, is this a symptom of lupus?
During this latest flare I have terrible restless legs, is this a symptom of lupus? The pains in my legs have been so bad my sleep has been compromised and I've needed NSAIDS to reduce the pain levels in my knees and ankles.

Baby suffered viral meningitis
Hi everyone. So my poor 4 month old baby boy was diagnosed with viral meningitis last week. We spent 4 days inhospital and then was discharged as he started to feel lots better. However he is still very up and down. I understand that it’s still only early days but some days he is very happy and like

Seeing infectious diseases consultant this morning.
I have had symptoms for decades. It feels to me like more minor recurring meningitis. Five years ago at this Infectious diseases clinic, They diagnosed me with CFS/ME. It was the only thing they had left. Five years ago I didn’t know about recurring meningitis. Know that I do I am going to ask them

Tapering following new PMR diagnosis
Hi, so glad I found this wonderful forum, I've learned so much in the past 2 weeks. My question concerns tapering and levels of pain that can be "ignored". I am 70 years old and until the middle of March was a fit walker, gardener and could still reach to cut my own toenails. I was lucky enough to

Hi. I am 59 years old and I was diagnosed with PMR in February by my primary care physician after a year of pain and many doctors. I have the added complication of having a bleeding disorder, so no NSAIDS, or supplements like turmeric or fish oil. I chose to not go on Prednisone at the time I was diagnosed

Gum boil and surgery
Has anyone here had a gum boil that required surgery? My situation has developed as the result of a fall back in the 1980s that broke my jaw. Now I have severe bone loss in the area around a tooth near the jaw break and have developed this gum boil at the surface which implies infection underneath.

Any Treatment Options?
I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Lupus/Sjrogens/Hughes (already had Hashimotos's) This came on or was triggered after being hospitalised with severe Neurological Lyme Disease where I was hospitalised for many months and with nursing care at home for nearly 2 years back in 2009 - I never really got better

CBD oil - hints, tips and general advice?
So after thinking about it for a while I have plunged in and ordered some CBD oil to try to see if it helps with pain relief especially at night so I can come off the amitriptalyne and also for migraines. Since I reacted really badly to myco I’m currently not on any lupus meds so need something to take

Why are docs so eager to get us off prednisone?
Is it possible they “want you off it” to avoid deterioration of hips and knees? My mom had PMR and got avascular necrosis and had a hip replaced. I cannot believe the number of joint replacements that the good people on this forum have collected. WAY above the norm, IMO. That’s why I’m TRYING to stay

Chickenpox
I’m a nanny and at work today I had three of the children off with chickenpox. I’ve never really given it much thought, I’ve taken care of children with chickenpox before. But should I be concerned? Am I likely to catch it? I had it as a child so I’m assuming I’m immune but googling hasn’t set my mind

Is it possible to stay at CKD stage 3 or will my kidneys keep getting worse?
I recently discovered I have stage 3 ckd, GFR 56. I’ve since made major changes to my diet while I wait to meet with a dietitian this week. My goal is to try a plant based diet. My kidneys were damaged by the use of NSAID’s because of injuries received while on deployment. I’m 60 years old, 145 lbs,

Vitamin B12 as a Treatment for Pain
Found this new paper and was interested to see some work being done. Sadly, it just reviews existing data. (Oddly, it uses the term hydroxycobalamin, which is much less common. Indeed, MESH adds hydroxocobalamin automatically on PubMed searches - and there are many times more papers referring to hydroxocobalamin
