I would definitely get rid of my Rapid Transit Syndrome, it’s debilitating, very painful and means I can rarely eat.  I have to take huge quantities of codeine and morphine so I’m constantly exhausted.  I can manage all my other conditions but this has totally changed my life.

For me it has to be the breathlessness with the COPD I spend more time getting my breath back than achieving anything.

If I could get rid of just one thing it would be the virtigo I get from lacosimide. After returning to work after a long absence last year this horrible and nauseating side affect can be quite frustrating
