Hiya @Brightman Also from UK - I’m from Scotland but currently living in Turkey. This forum is fantastic in every way possible with support, information, knowledge and experience and more. We tend to think we are all unique in our problems until we meet on here then we find we are all ‘linked’...

That’s good to know Jan thank you.

I’m eagerly awaiting the arrival of Steve O’s book The Great Pain Deception that I obtained via Amazon in the UK. Currently sitting in my husband’s suitcase but I have to wait until next Fri for his return and to get my hands on it! I’m particularly interested in Steve’s ‘affliction’ with...

Hi Andy There are plenty of us who self medicate throughout our healing, in fact to let yourself ‘suffer’ would, in my view, add to your stress levels. Take your pills for as long as you need them with the aim of perhaps taking a quarter of a pill then weaning yourself off as you progress. So...

I agree wholeheartedly - laughter is the best feel good factor dancea

Not to steal from your post Penny2007 but I’m also having huge stress from my daughter’s relationship issues. She was in tears this morning and I was tearful with her and for her. My back issue is soaring today along with numbness and tingling and strange sensation in my buttocks and hamstrings...

@twirlybird “Long time lurker” :joyful: laughed out loud at this. Despite your harrowing symptoms, both of you, isn’t it refreshing that a sense of humour is so important in our healing? I love your post as it’s so supportive to @srkellz45 and we always think we are unique in our suffering...

Loved this as well and her soothing gentle presentation.

Welcome @Coffeeplease - nice username! Thanks for your support and input, I really appreciate it. Isn’t it so sad that so many of us have had terrible childhoods in respect to the way we were treated? I’m sorry to read about your experiences too but this forum is so helpful. I have my eye on...

I just need to vent.... I’ve been coping ok but today has been awful pain wise. I came off Tramadol 5 days ago - was prescribed this by a neurosurgeon for ‘muscular’ problems after my car incident. I walk daily for half an hour - it’s painful to walk now that I’m off my meds but I’ve been doing...

Hi I also had palpitations earlier this year, went to see my Doctor, had bloods, ecg. When I called for my results I was told by an admin staff member ‘all satisfactory’ except they wanted to recheck my bloods in 4 weeks as my thyroid ‘might be underactive’...... what a lot of tosh! Again fear...

You can get special ear plugs for music concerts :)

Hiya NameK Calm down until you see your doctor to discuss this and get examined. I’ve had tinnitus for 9 years - someone came close to my ear at a music concert and shouted very loudly in my left ear and I was left with a ringing for a couple weeks before I saw my GP.....the brain eventually...

Hiya, welcome onboard. Pretty new myself but I feel your angst and although I don’t have much knowledge on your condition I do have paresthesia which I’m working on. You can do a search on here for your condition on the wiki search engine as others have had pudendal neuralgia. I’m sure you will...
