Helloooo! Sorry I haven't been on in ages, I saw the professor in London.. I have been diagnosed with EDS, POTS and Dysautonomia - when you put them together (as they commonly appear together!) you get what looks like a very MS-type symptom list, but...luckily (or not?!) it's all down to good old Eh...

I decided to ditch the NHS for now and pay out for a private consultation with a really good Rheumatologist after my GP broke the last straw by announcing that I've never been officially diagnosed with EDS even, and I couldn't possibly have it as it's 'too rare' - The doctor I'm paying to see is a l...

Dr was an idiot and thought nothing was connected on my list and refused to test me for anything at all but has sent me off to the Rheumatology department. So I have to wait for that appointment. Not really sure what they will do as I am ANA negative...but there you go! PS thank you for even more su...

Thanks for the reassurance guys! Soaking in the Epsom bath worked quite well - now I just feel tight up that side rather than agonised. I've been munching my way through tonnes of healthy, healthy food while I wait for some supplements to arrive :) Really interesting info about the sun allergy JL! I...

I'm looking at the healt...

I live in Li...

The diet and supplement regimen look really interesting. Do you think it's just deficiencies, or do you think deficiencies are part of MS? I was tested for iron, and they did some others too about a year ago. They don't let you see your results in the UK. Just tell you if you're ok/not... so that's ...

Hi, I'm really at the end of my tether with my health - to be honest, for the past few months I've been avoiding the GP etc because it's just an endless mess....and some days I begin to think it must all be in my head :sad: I'm a 25 yr old mum of three..my doctors and I have run from early onset COP...
