Hi All - thanks for your responses! I feel a bit less 'self-pitying' this morning! Lyndacarol - I already keep a food diary & over the last few years have tried systematically removing and reintroducing lots of different foods with no improvements x I've also been tested several times for a vari...

Hi All I'm in a dark place at the moment! Feeling pretty hopeless & vulnerable x So please don't read any further if you can't stand someone whingeing!! TONIGHT I INTEND TO WHINGE!! I feel so tired of it all - hubby took me away for a couple of days last weekend and despite everything I had a lo...

Hi LR1234 - I'm in West Wales x
Thank you Mr Barlow - am looking into the supplements to start straight away x

Hi All I've just had a visit to my optician/ophthalmologist. I first had problems with my eyes in 1998 ish when I had severe pain behind my eyes and one eye went very bloodshot - at the time I was told by my GP it was inflammation and given drops to sooth it. A few years later I was driving home one...

Thank you x
That's amazing! I'm in the UK though so am searching for an answer here x will chase it up

Hi Donna Thank you for responding I don't know which ones are chronically high - they did tell me but I just can't for the life of me remember the name! I know the normal range is around 5 and mine have been coming back at around 22 with every blood test for the last 2 years. The doctor said it wasn...

Hi All Does anyone have chronic high white blood cell counts? Mine have been coming back high with every blood test (monthly) for the last 2 years (and before). They are sometimes severe, sometimes just high - but never anywhere near normal! They are not the type that raises with infection - it's th...

Hi JJt! Thank you so much for responding! It's a really horrible, frightening and painful sensation if what I'm experiencing is the MS Hug. I haven't had a diagnosis of anything yet so I'm still totally convinced it's my thoracic discs that are doing it - despite what the spinal consultant said!!! I...

Hi Ute I'm going to be off for two weeks over Christmas - I can't wait! I would take sick leave - I desperately need to - but I was off recently with the flu & last year I had to take a lot of sick leave due to having a breast lump removed - that op was fine believe it or not! I only had the Fri...

Hi All One of my very worst and most frightening symptoms (apart from the overwhelming tiredness & odd numbness) is the pain around my chest and upper abdomen. The first time it happened I ended up in A&E convinced I was having a heart attack! The spasming was coming in constant waves and wa...

Thank you Algis! that's exactly what I'm doing right this minute - reading other people's stories! It is scary but at the same time it's helping to know that others have experienced what I am going through - I have so been feeling like I'm losing my mind! I'm supposed to be going into work but I'm r...

Thank you Kiyaan! I just hope the neurologist does all the right tests - I'm getting so frustrated with thinking it's this, then that - then being passed from pillar to post! I just feel they are missing something all the time! I have such a muddle of persistent symptoms - they seem to be taking the...

Thank you so much! I had a blood test through my GP several years ago to test for Addisons because some of the symptoms I have been experiencing are common to that - it must have been normal as I heard nothing further! I have been under a haemotology consultant for the last 18 months and I have had ...
