    How to earn a living with brain fog?

    I have brain fog and got sick and tired of daft advice, people not listening, people talking down to me as if I am a retard and doctors not helping. My brain fog goes up and down as do my other symptoms, it is not permanent. I did a lot of research and found that a lot of my symptoms are the...

    By the way. amatriptyline is something I tried and gave me terrible stomach aches. I tried all sorts of normal medication before I turned to natural things. And although it is rare I come here when I do my time is limited. I am not interested in being lectured or talked to as if the person on...

    I love the way you use your brains to think for yourself and problem solve, you are very much like me. Too many people rush to a doctor and listen to every word and follow it like lambs to the slaughter, it is even worse if they do it on a forum full of people who say they know when they are...

    Hi, just checking in again, thanks for the comments. The montekulast definitely caused this. Of course doctors do not understand that or want to accept it but I am sure of it. I also found that taking prednisolone would decrease it or increase it a lot quickly. But a fine balancing act with...

    Hello I find this very interesting but my fibro came on after taking montekulast and steroids regularly. My doctor had no idea at all about it and implied that I had read about various symptoms somewhere and was thinking I had what I had read about as a sort of suggestion. In other words...

    My first visit with a rheumatologist

    I use natural serotonin regularly, ashwagandha and valerian at different times for relaxation / sleep, once a week usually. They include gaba, serotonin which is natural. There are many other things which do too. It's a vast subject which would take you many hours to research online, the doctors...

    My first visit with a rheumatologist

    Hi Marc, I had my first visit to a rheumatologist in December and was very down hearted after. I have more knowledge and experience of doctors and medical matters than most and research things thoroughly so had prepared myself for whatever before I went. I am a 64 year old woman. My symptoms...

    I am a recently diagnosed man and frustrated with my family's understanding

    Wish you all well too. I spend very little time on the forums. Most of my time goes on running my businesses, helping my clients, dealing with my staff etc. And it's good to get away from the computer! Take care.

    I am a recently diagnosed man and frustrated with my family's understanding

    Yes I am allowed my feelings. But feelings lead to actions or less actions. I came here to try this forum to see if it would be a good use of some of my spare time. There are a lot of health forums out there, some of which I own and run myself on my own websites. I watch how much time I give to...

    Yes, I understand why forums are there and how they work. That is why I thought I would give this forum a try.

    I am a recently diagnosed man and frustrated with my family's understanding

    Yes I know. And over the years I have run a very busy charity single handedly, with a lot of people working for me part time. Plus trained a lot of people to work on a charity hot line. I have always worked more than full time hours, despite being in my sixties with health problems. You know...

    Feeling frustrated

    I had to take steroids because I was getting what the doctors told me were very difficult asthma attacks regularly. I was often taken into hospital for weeks with it. They insisted it was asthma and insisted I take steroids. It helped. It is montekulast I would not take if you paid me. I have...

    How to reduce pain! Sciatica?

    Yes I knew that. The great thing about humans - and the worst thing about them - is that we all vary such a lot. Young, old, bright, stupid, boring, exciting, we all mix together.
