Hi Laura - getting there. Just waiting for the results of my hip arthrogram. As soon as I know the result I'll post it in the case updates section. How are you doing? Have you thought about posting in the case updates section? I'd love to learn how you are getting on.

Hmm this is interesting. I have had PN off and on for almost five years and I'm about to have jaw surgery for a misalignment. My jaw has never hurt, it's just that the bottom jaw is apparently 8mm out of sync with the top jaw, and so I'll be having it corrected - quite an intense operation. I have n...

I have found the best cushions to be U-shaped cushions that are originally intended as neck cushions. Cushions like this for example:- http://www.amazon.co.uk/Neck-Cushtie-Your-Personal-Pillow/dp/B000XCUWR6/ref=pd_sim_kh_2 These have been the most practical for me, but because they're not designed t...

Hi Dave, I don't have any specific links but I'd imagine just doing a Google search for "castor oil muscle relaxant" should fire up some results. Castor Oil is a pretty infamous laxative used since the olden times.....and taken orally can, literally, flush out everything. Personally I don'...

Thanks Amanda! Yes it's certainly one obstacle out of the way. The "big one" is going to be later this year...October/November-ish, but I'm just going to take it one step at a time...and hopefully should be just as easy as the others...!

Thanks Helen! Well - I survived it!

Actually it was pretty easy. The dental chairs do indeed go right back and I may as well have been lying down.

I'm soooo glad now that I didn't cancel/postpone!
