struggling with nerve pain after amputation and burn
Hi, I am new to this community and hope I can unload a little bit because I am struggling with nerve pain. I burnt my foot by spilling boiling water over it over 3 years ago, the burn was healing very slowly, I kept getting infections, cellulitis, and swelling. It got to the point that they had to amputate

I really need some help please...
Hi, My partner has encouraged me to join this group as I'm in a big mess with my RA. I'll try and keep it as brief as I can. I was diagnosed with RA (Sero Positive/CCP Positive) in 2021 and given Sulfasalazine. (My partner was trying to get pregnant, so no Methotrexate). My symptoms were joint pain

lidocaine infusion?
Good afternoon everyone. I have Occipital/Trigeminal Neuralgia and have had a variety of treatments for the past 7 years. Most recently a nerve block which went wrong and left me in worse pain. My last option is a lidocaine infusion which I am waiting for. I take Pregablin/codeine/migraine meds etc

Morphine & Oramorph.
Hi all, My dad is now bedridden with CBD. He appears to be in constant pain. Although he can't verbalise. Codeine is no longer keeping him comfortable. Today the GP has prescribed morphine twice daily and Oramorph in between. Has this proven to be an affective pain relief for others please. He already

Co codamol/ codeine. Is this okay for heart patients for temp pain relief?
Pretty bad back pain. Anybody know if Codeine is fine for the majority of heart patients and the meds we all use?

Concern about Levothyroxine
Anyway my question is, I understand Levothyroxine contains
iodine
- to replace the missing
iodine
in the thyroid, but am obviously worried that once my TSH is high enough for my GP to prescribe it, I wont tolerate it.

T3: the devils doing
Hopefully, if you read this you’ve seen my original rant about the ablation (RAI) of my Thyroid for graves. You will have read that at the time, despite my almost blind faith in the GP and Endo (and their proposed care path), I had my reservations: I felt my condition had settled under the long use of

in agony but have no answer
hey all. I just wanted to ask, can endometriosis not be seen by the eye in surgery? I had keyhole surgery and it was clear but there were no biopsies taken. All blood tests / bowel samples are clear. I have all the symptoms of endometriosis but all tests / surgeries are coming back clear. I am awaiting

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Worrying about symptoms
Diagnosed with Endo on pelvic wall nearly 3 years ago now. In the past year my symptoms have increased drastically. Heavy, painful periods and spotting randomly (on the combined pill). Lower back pain is excruciating it swells physically. Been to physio and pain management for this, they just say MRI

RLS - Q&A
Hi RLS survivors I am continuing my Pregabalin journey and wanted to check in with this community to ask out loud various questions circling around my head. The good news is that Pregabalin is making a difference. I get some relief from jumpy legs at night even on a low dose (75mg) What I am experiencing

private blood tests
Hi all, Who uses private blood tests and where / how do you do them? I am under a consultant endo for hyper / graves but my bloods are only done every 12 weeks or so. I have been on 40mg carbimazole for nearly a year and finally my latest test apparently I’m hypo. This was found out the day I had

Can we talk about diet and supplements please?
It’s also often mentioned that we shouldn’t supplement
iodine
, however, this seems to only apply to people on levo, as levo replaces the
iodine
and further supplementation would create an excess which is not good for thyroid problems.

AF and Arthritis
Hi everyone long time no post! Pleased to say the AF has been quite stable over the last 6 months or so, a few blips here and there but usually down to lack of sleep, bugs and dehydration! However over the last 2-3 months my osteoarthritis has been getting steadily worse to the point I've had trouble

Very Scared and suffering with Graves Disease - don't know what to do next?

Asking for advice following RAI
My MIL, bless her had an RAI several years ago due to hyperthyroidism. I often wonder if they got it right as she never fitted the profile for overactive. I know she's always struggled with weight gain and if anything I would have said she was more hypo than hyper. Several years later she's never been
