Horizant tapering
Dear All: Apologies- I might be unintentionally reposting this: I have been on Horizant for about seven months, at 600mg in the morning and 600mg in the evening (1,200 mg total). Before that, I was on 600mg Gabapentin daily for two years. Recently, my doctor and I have agreed to reduce my Horizant

Whose advice should I follow?
I had a trabeculectomy 18 months ago. Last July I went to a Moorfields virtual clinic for monitoring. I received a letter from the doctor a few days later to say that my visual field on the operated eye was gradually worsening & that I would be seen at the Consultant led clinic four months later. I

Azithromycin
Does anyone else take Azithromycin 3 times a week prophylactic? Just wondering if you have to take your rescue antibiotics due to chest infection, do you stop the Azithromycin?

Just diagnosed with 4.0 cm aneurysm of ascending aorta and severe calcification
Hi Friends I cannot express how shocked and dismayed I am finding out that I have severe calcification of my aorta and a 4.0 cm aneurysm. I have read that the aneurysm can be monitored yearly with imaging but there is nothing that can be done for the calcification. In the past 3 years, I have had

A question on 'high' dosage
So I'm currently on 150mcg of levo and 30mcg T3 and my latest results were still only 65% and 62% respectively. I've just started HRT so I may well continue to see improvements but I'm curious about my dosing. I'm 6'1" and roughly 65kg so I'm on the cusp of underweight. I know we need what we need

Picking
My husband with PD has been picking at his skin. Especially his hands. Dermatologist recommended lotions for dry skin. Neurologist says it’s not due to PD. He thinks he is peeling skin, but I don’t see anything. Seems to me to be more like a habit, like biting nails. Has anyone else had this feeling?

SIBO!!! But fearing taking antibiotics, especially Neomicyn… I’ve heard of terrible side effects ( tinnitus and hearing loss).
Hello, here is my doctor's report: ''The report of your hydrogen and methane breath test is positive, both for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth as well as excessive methane-producing bacteria in the large bowel. It may be sensible to consider treatment with non-absorbable antibiotics. If you would

Palindromic rheumatism
I have had symptoms of palindromic rheumatism for 7 years. It has come alongside a diagnosis of Wegeners vasculitis which I am being treated for. I see the rheumatologist a few times a year and severe, short lasting joint pain is always top of my symptom list. My rheumatologist never comments. So in

Rivaroxavan
I've been reading some posts on here that question the effectiveness of Rivaroxaban and or its potential side effects. I've been taking it for about 5 years now and have generally been ok. I do wonder, however, if it could be contributing to the indigestion I experience and to the bleeding gums when

Week 5 Mental Block
I started C25K in September and have been running once or twice a week, got to week five and had to attempt run 2 twice before I did it. Haven’t managed to complete run 3, I keep giving up around the 10 minute mark. I know this is a mental barrier. I have tried going back to week 4 and still struggling

Why does everyone seem to have permanent tinnitus here?
What is the cause of permanent tinnitus? This is so worrying, as my tinnitus started this month due to ear canal infection. Would this be permanent? I have been prescribed otomize. Would that be helpful?

Interesting Article (please read)
came across this article today and would like to know your thoughts: i was swayed by flashy advertising in the late 1990s featuring medical stars like Professor Lord Winston, who convinced me that omega-3 fish oil supplements were essential for my brain and my heart. Fast forward to today, and

Side effects of nefopam sweats
Recently been put on nefopam due to night pains because of hip and back pain. Does anyone else suffer sweats from nefopam? I'm trying to rule them out as on other meds too.

Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome/disease. It was picked up via blood tests. I'm waiting to have a liver scan but the GP hasn't come up with any other plan. My main question at the minute is does anyone suffer with itching. Its not put down as one of the main symptoms but it's

EYE HEALTH: RELATIONSHIP OF PMR, PRED & MTX TO GLAUCOMA, CATARACTS, & DRY EYE
Hello everyone. Vacillated on a title for this post. I'll bet I covered it all. I've been on my hard PMR journey for 4+ years. Currently on 4mg Pred daily & 20mg MTX weekly. PMR pain is under control. My eyes have wept for the past 2 yrs; at times, non stop. Eyedrops are the common advice from my Optometrist

Erosive Gastritis Anyone - Prednisolone

Corneal transplant
Hi all. A very happy Christmas to you all. I apologise if this is not an acceptable question on here as it is not related to RA but it is a great platform to air the question. I am desparately worried about my brother who needs a corneal transplant. Has anyone on here had one or knows of anyone who has

help :(
I have had symptoms of a UTI since 31st October. I had Nitrofuration twice at the start of all this and things started to settle until I had a bath. I was then given 7 days of trimethoprim- I felt no real difference with this. Dipstick tests never really show infection so 3 urines have been sent to lab
