cortisol blood test
I’m due a GP blood test at 8:35am today. Can I have a decaf coffee before??? It’s a waste of time test I think as my saliva test showed the only normal one was the morning but that private test wasn’t good enough! Also my DHEA of less than 10 was completely sidetracked by GP. Very little hope this

PSA 9 , age 66 , is there an alternative to biopsy ?
My friend’s PSA went from 5 to 9 in 8 months . He asked me if there is an alternative to biopsy . I told him that there may be something new since I last had a biopsy in 2009.

Pain below right ribcage
I have had multiple CT scans and MRIs and none of them show cirrhosis, but they show fatty liver. I've had a burning pain below my right rib cage for over a month...it hurts bad! My last liver enzyme tests were within range. I have been on a diet since this started and I've lost 18lbs, but still have

One litre of fluids
After having pneumonia with fluid on the lung I have now developed heart failure.My recent x-ray was showing I still have fluid on my lung. I don't have any shortness of breath at the moment. I was surprised to hear this. Apparently it's worse than it was. A consultant from the hospital rang me to ask

Delayed Lynparza (Olaparib)Reaction
I started Lynparza (Olaparib) on 5/19 (PSA 172). By 7/5 (+7 weeks ) my PSA was 222 and it was decided to discontinue the drug, get a port, and prepare for chemo. At the first chemo appt on 8/10 (+12 weeks), the blood test showed that my PSA had fallen to 194. The general literature says you evaluate

Are you ready to kick neurotoxins to the curb?
You can start by not eating them and clean up your diet. The next step is to remove neurotoxins from your personal care and cleaning products. Edit: Would you be more motivated to change your lifestyle if you understood how Roundup is used and why it's poison? Roundup kills any actively growing plant

Is it possible for me to get back to skateboard with autoimmune disease ever?Or do I need to give it up forever?
Hi everyone I have an autoimmune disease they say it might be lupus and myosis and Systemic Sclerosis. I don't even now which one it is or if it's all of them combined. I got diagnosed in 2022 and at this point all exercise and sports declined to none. I used to skate board, do boxing and play basketball

Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Bit strange to post this here but bear with me please. It seems that many of the med's for OAB have a side effect of high heart rate. I've been diagnosed with Paroxysmal Tachycardia and am trying Tolterodine for my OAB (which increased my comfort level considerably) but have had to stop as my monthly

Hello. As I begin to write this it's 5:45 in the morning here. Trying to get at least some type of sleep. Still having loads of anxiety but trying to calm myself down to at least write this. Glancing over once in a while to check oxymeter, heart rate ranging from 92 to 104, oxygen steady at 96-97.

Latest results from the INSPIRE project - how doctors diagnose neuropsychiatric symptoms in lupus
A new study has found that doctors have a variety of opinions on whether different neuropsychiatric symptoms are directly caused by lupus. Doctors rated their assessment as most helpful in diagnosis & patient reports as least helpful. The researchers are calling for more inclusion of the patient voice
