If you look at my wailing over going blind you will see I have perpetual root abscesses in my teeth. I have a collagen disease that gives me dry mucous membranes this means my teeth are constantly in need of repair. Diabetes seems to be another auto immune disease so there could be a link...

I have to see my nurse next month,1st time in years, so will tackle him on retinopathy. Was seeing my GP about 2 new diseases a student GP added to my repertoire, but the optician said to see her for referral to eye clinic. Recently my blood glucose has been all over the place as I have had a...

For years now I sleep only 3 or 4 hours a night and have dark bags under my eyes as a result. I use my DS or now my Kindle Fire to while away the hours when all I would do is listen to my loved one snore from the moment he hits his pillow until the alarm goes off. The amount of books I read is...

I am a retired senior lecturer in nursing and midwifery and have found the medical profession can be arrogant and bullying, For some reason midwives even bully each other. I fight back by saying it's Dr actually when they use my first name or even my second name by 'really compassionate...

Some of your symptoms are familiar, in fact I seem to share many of them. I was diagnosed with SLE (lupus) when I was 23 now at 65 I have symptoms and my GP thinks my diagnosis was correct although sometimes my blood tests are negative. I have also damaged my spine around my hips by falling...

I started to loose my hair I have always had very thick hair and was devastated when it fell out in handfuls. When I first mentioned it my GP said if I find a cure let him know, but on a later visit I saw a student GP and my own GP went through reasons I may be loosing hair. Incidentally I...
