Duane from Canada here 🇨🇦 🍁

I am 82 and have fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, scoliosis, and osteoarthritis. An epidural based on an MRI has been proposed but I have been struggling with UTIs followed by side effects of antibiotics, including most recently c. dif for which I am now being treated. Thank you.

Hi there, if you have taken probiotics for your c-diff, did it help you? Nice to meet you, I've just started here myself. My father had c-diff back in 2005 from taking anti biotics. Back then probiotics weren't offered. So, do the DRs suggest that now? Thank you.

Hi, Cheeps here. I've been in Pain Management on and off for 25 years due to spine issues that cause chronic pain. I'm 65 and now use a walker and spend to much time in bed. With my issues it's either stand and lean or lie down. Sitting is very uncomfortable. I've had some spine surgeries and need a fusion but while it might help one area, it will cause painful issues in other areas so no more surgeries for me. Nice to meet everyone.

I also became familiar with the Curable App. I thought it to be very helpful. I didn't continue with it though. I may go back to it as it was very good.

Hi there, how long have you been treated for the sleep apnea? I was DXed with OSA in 2006. Having my machine changed my life. I hope you are feeling better. Cheeps

About a year and a half. I can't say it has drastically changed my life, but then there's such an overlap of symptoms, it's hard to know causation. I am, however, glad to hear of your progress. Do you use a full face mask?

Hi, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about thirty years ago but it never interfered with anything that I wanted to do.In late February of 2020 I became ill enough to scare me into going to theER. I was tested for the flu which was negative.As I recovered I began having tingling in my feet and it has now progressed to burning pain,electric shooting pain,joint pain and muscle.It has also effected my eyes. I don’t have a diagnosis yet.
