Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy
If you develop CIPN during chemotherapy, and it becomes permanent, can you subsequently find it has progressed to another site some years after the original diagnosis? I finished 6 cycles of Docetaxel in October 2019. Once the stabbing pains and feeling of being electrocuted had worn off, I was left

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

Puffy fingers without Raynaud's?
I've committed the cardinal sin and entrusted Dr Google to diagnose me leading to feeling pretty distraught about the future, or lack of it... I've developed puffy fingers in the last few months, pretty much always brought on by activities - DIY, weeding in the garden. They don't tend to become puffy

Do You Need to be Flaring For Diagnosis?
Hello I have a newbie’s question about diagnosis, please. Do you need to be experiencing symptoms such as visible butterfly rash and red/swollen joints at the time you see the rheumatologist for a diagnosis? Or can/will they go from photos and history?

Got results today
Labs weren’t too bad, but will be curious to see what they say. Wbcs 1.9, hct 39.5, PLT 176, neutrophils 1.1, lymphocytes 0.6. Alk phos was a little high, but not near double, other liver enzymes were good. I figured it is because my thyroid needs adjusting as it was totally fine in June. But lipids

For the most part physicians have given Urso up to a year to decide if you are a responder or not -- has the Urso decreased your numbers significantly in that time period.

I am lost, should I seek a second opinion?
hi, this will be a bit of a long one sorry. I am really confused and don’t know whether to accept my gps answer or go private for a second opinion. My issues started more noticeably in October last year when I started heavily bleeding and having long periods and very short periods of time of not bleeding
