ALK PHOS keeps going up
Hi everybody! I was diagnosed with PBC in 2016. At the time my ALK PHOS was 375. I started on URSO right away. 1000mg a day (500 mg twice a day). ALK PHOS started steadily coming down. A year ago it was down to 116, which was the borderline with the high limit of the range. However, in 6 months after

Internal vibration
Hi, I've been quiet on here as mostly plodding on and getting through my days as best as possible but am popping back with a question in the hope that someone can share some insight. For reference I'm 51, was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2010 (and have a lot of associated issues with that) additionally

St John’s Wort
Hey! If anyone has ever tried St John’s Wort, how long did it take to see any noticeable changes? (If any) I am 15 days into taking it and not seeing a change yet...maybe I need to wait a bit longer!

Docetaxel not working
I have had 2 docetaxel infusions so far with 3rd infusion scheduled this Thursday. Psa has increased from 120 to 174 and alk phos has increased from 590 to 617 since last infusion. Should I even go for 3rd infusion since docetaxel seems to be ineffective ?

My doctors don't think I have lupus. 1st tested years ago negative. 2nd ANA positive, 3rd ANA negative. I have a rash on my chest and all the symptoms of lupus. Will someone help me with figuring this out? Now the latest is my eyelashes are falling out plus hair on other parts of my body. I'm 63.

St John’s Wort
After researching the side effects of SSRIs I have been looking into alternative herbal remedies. Has anyone had any experiences with St John’s Wort? I understand that it does not interact with medication very well however I am not currently on any tablets so that won’t necessarily be an issue for

Vasectomy complications with AMN?
Hello all, My wife and I just had our second child a month ago. We both agree we only want two children, so I have been planning to get a vasectomy to avoid future pregnancies. Today I met with a vasectomy specialist, and during our consultation, we had a long conversation about concerns with AMN. Because

Positive ANA and anti-DNA
Hi everyone, I’m new here. I just had a question I was hoping someone might be able to answer. My blood work came out positive for ANA with elevated anti-DNA and Immunoglobulin M. Does this mean I have lupus? What if I am showing few other symptoms and all the other blood work was fine? Thanks so much

Hi... My son got kasai at 55 days last year. His bilirubin went down after 3 months but still all blood count like direct Bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, GGT, ALP are not in normal range after 1 year. His stool colour is more or less like mud colour & sometimes light yellow or light green. Doctor says to wait
