Hi everyone, I hope today is a good day. I'm newly diagnosed and have been prescribed hydroxychloroquine. I don't know much about it, my consultant just sent a script to pharmacy. Thing is I'm petrified to start it. I'm looking for other people to tell me if they are ok on this medicine. I was fine before coming to live at…
Hi, seen a lot of marketing etc on social media about bee venom, and the benefits it has with arthritis sufferers. anyone tried it and have any feed back? Thanks.
I keep seeing ads for "Paingone Plus" (a TENS pen) and "Grounding Mats" (which supposedly use the earth's natural healing properties both for pain relief and to aid sleep).

I’ve found the discussions on this forum really helpful for preparing, but…
After a long day, my operation took place at 5 pm. I was a nervous wreck all day but the op was amazing. The theatre team were fab. I even saw my old hip bone and the reason I was suffering so much with it. Exposed bone and extra bone growth. How I wasn't in more constant pain I really don't know. Back in my room now ,…
Hi everyone, this is my first post and it’s so amazing to feel part of a community and have so much help available. I’m 72 and three months ago I’d have said I was one of the fittest and most active amongst my peers and many of the younger generation. I’ve done Yoga all my adult life, including some teaching, I walk the…
