Prednisone and Muscles
A concern stemming from the very few questions I was able to successfully ask of the new to me Rheumatologist without being sssshhh'd.... She ordered a Muscle Enzyme Creatine Kinase lab test be performed, as did my GP a month earlier and after comparing the results, it had dropped significantly from

as I had read about a condition called rhadbo only because I googled pictures that looked similar to my veins in my feet sigh - I ended up pouring my heart out over my anxieties of taking all these

Blood work
Hello all-just looked at my blood tests and sed rate is 11, creatine kinase is 50. Are these the correct tests? And are they showing elevated results? I know some of you have said the Pred could mask results.

PMR and CK
( creatine kinase blood
test
which shows muscle damage).My
CK
is only mildly elevated now. It is said that CK is NOT elevated with PMR. My question: has anyone had mildly elevated CK with their PMR? Because it does seem possible my pain might be PMR. Any comments appreciated.

Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism: an Analysis of Eleven Randomized Controlled Trials
I have only read this abstract - once, and very quickly - hence no real comments. But patients preferring combination treatment is hardly a surprise. We'd probably prefer out own nicely working thyroid - which would be producing T4 and T3. Wouldn't it? [i]Treatment Preferences in Patients with Hypothyroidism

Low Ferritin
In May of this year my Ferritin level was 11 (range 15-200) and I was given Ferrous Fumarate and told to have bloods done again in a few months. My recent results were 19. I know Ferritin levels are notoriously slow to rise but I was surprised at the very slow progress....Does this seem right?

Blood sugar levels
I've read that Prednisolone can spike blood sugar levels. I have a strong family history of late onset type 2 diabetes through the generations. I have ordered a blood glucose monitor, I thought it might be a good idea, like I monitor my blood pressure too.

"Pros and Cons of Various Forms of Radiation Therapy vs Radical Prostatectomy for Men in Their 50s"
I have been diagnosed with intermediate non-favorable risk prostate cancer. Currently, we are conducting Decipher testing along with PSMA PET and genetic testing.

am I pregnant? Is it my period starting?? Or is it implantation bleeding?
Me and my boyfriend have had unprotected sex a bunch of times and usually we are fine. We did it recently. I just got on birth control I think for almost 3 weeks I’ve been on it? And suddenly my discharge has started to change it was a bit of a yellowish color at first so I thought maybe it was an infection

Severe RLS Augmentation on Pramipexole
I just discovered this wonderful site. I am 69, female, and live in Quebec, Canada. I have had RLS since I my youth and can identify with so many of your struggles.

For ladies with unexplained infertility
Hello ladies As I approach my 12th week of pregnancy I thought I'd share what I did differently in hopes that it helps someone in a similar position. I have had 7 miscarriages previously and 5 of them ended between 4 - 5 weeks. Every time it was the same pattern. I had no issue conceiving but I kept

Reducing pred
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR 4 years ago and each time I reduce I get another flare up. I am trying to reduce to zero as advised by my GP. I started at 4mg down to 3 and a half after 2 weeks then down to 3mg. Now my aches and pains have got worse so I have gone back to 4mg again. ESR

How is everyone doing lately with their PBC? For some of us, the temps are cooler - maybe helping with less itching. Do you feel you are still living life as best you can despite any of the symptoms that may occur unexpectedly in your day? We all have PBC so differently, don't we? I hope you all try
