Hello everyone, Does anyone wear wide fit shoes? If so, where do you get them from? I'm in desperate need of new boots for the winter and can't find any suitable ones anywhere! Last year, my podiatrist recommended a great company who make handmade specialist footwear, and they had a beautiful pair of boots, but I couldn't…
Yesterday I attended my 3 monthly nurse appointment, which was at a different hospital to usual, as the waiting time at my current hospital was too long. The whole appointment was a bit of a nightmare to be honest. I was 50 minutes late being seen (which I do expect as I know things over run). When I was eventually seen…
Hi all, Feeling quite down atm. As most of you know I was on Hydroxychloriquine to help with my symptoms, which I still don't have a diagnosis for. I had to stop taken them back in August as my liver function was 113 (the range was 20-30). Since then I've been back to see my rheumatologist and she's refused to do any more…
Ive got OA in my right hip which ive had for the last 7 years. I had my annual appt with my consultant a few weeks ago and the good news was that it hasnt got any worse over the last year and as im 45 hes not considering a hip replacement yet. I asked to be referred to a physio as ive not seen one since I was first…
Hi I rang up about this spinal appointment or at least when I might hear from them. I must have got a very sympathetic girl in appointments or she heard my voice [very tearful because I was in pain] She has got me an appointment in a few weeks time :lol: I go to Ireland on the 10th of this month to see my mam. She has had…
Everything is really getting on top of me at the moment, I've had a second busy week, and while the first was enjoyable, the second was full of appointments, hospital, GP and blood tests for me, plus going with my daughter and grandson to a paediatric appointment to start off his assessment for possible Aspergers type…
Hi folks. I kinda feel really fed up. Discovered a lump yesterday, think its a bony growth on my elbow. My year so far: February diagnosed arthritis in hands mild to moderate March left eye relasered (original cataract surgery 2005) May cancelled ear operation for grommits as hearing came back by itself. June Sciatica…
Well, as some of you may know I have OA (osteo arthritis) in both knees (right partly replaced 2009; left totally replaced Jan 17); left ankle (needs fusing but I'm delaying) lumbar spine (also needs fusing but again I'm delaying) and cervical spine. Unfortunately I can now add the following to the list: left thumb and…
I've decided to restart my daily dose of Vitamin D with calcium - the days are growing shorter, the sunlight is not as strong and I am not spending as much time outdoors so to me it makes sense. I've noticed that my psoriasis is beginning to appear which could be due to the lack of sunshine, whether this will help that or…
On Saturday I thought I would help decorate by painting some of the hallway; this turned out to be big mistake. On Sunday I woke up around 5am and was in so much pain; Literally everything was hurting, especially my back, hips and legs. It hurt so much to turn over. When I eventually got up (because laying down was not…
