Long term Steroids.
Many thanks for all your replies to my post.As I stated before, I am due to see my new Rheumatoid Consultant next week, so I'm very hopeful that she will help me on my journey and give me a suitable Rheumy drug that will suit me. I can then hopefully, slowly come off the Predisolone.

Pernicious Anaemia
Hi all, following conversation on here I asked my doctor for a blood test to check for Pernicious Anaemia. These are the results. They all look good. Could someone please point out which ones the pernicious anaemia tests are? TIA 😊. Results in comments as I can’t figure out how to attach multiple

Afib Stroke Risk Lower in those that take Statins
Statin use is usually associated with a reduction of cholesterol and heart attacks, but a new study also shows an important additional benefit -- a significant reduction in strokes and TIA's in the Afib population. Something to discuss with your doctor if you're not already on statins, especially

ecg on Apple Watch different to the red heart section
Hi myself and my husband are a bit confused as his Apple Watch on the ecg says average 110/120 beats a minute but the average heart rate on the red heart says average between sixties to nineties . We were thinking maybe the ecg is picking up Jist the fast beats as he has persistent AF we are waiting

sarms
I have been thinking about trying ostarine for my locally advanced prostate cancer, osteoporosis and sarcopenia but I have been reading that sarms do not suppress p/c growth.

beta blockers and anticoagulants
Medscape posted a long article about a research on beta blockers and how few RCTs have been done on their efficacy for AF. It was hard to interpret but seems that for some folk they make AF worse and for many the side effects are too negative. There’s also an article on over prescribing of anticoagulants

Nailfold infection
I have my second nailfold infection in 2 months - it is proving difficult to resolve and a few days ago a telangectasia bled profusely for no reason. Is this connected to my Systemic Sclerosis or just a coincident. Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Drinking & Thyroid
Just wondered if many of you with an underactive thyroid drink alcohol? Not an excessive amount but a few drinks perhaps. Of late and since being diagnosed with one I feel like my tolerance for it is terrible and one or two glasses of wine can wipe me out the next day. Is there any link? Be great to

PSMA scan with PSA < 0.20?
Has anyone had a PSMA scan before PSA reached 0.20? If so, were any tumors detected?

Unrelated to Parkinson's
Prior to 1980 about the only relativly common form of thiamin was thiamin hcl and then most vitamins and enritched food products changed to thiamin mononitrate. While thiamin HCL is a wonderful form of thiamin for 99.99 % of the population for some reason I can't take it. When I take thiamin HCL in

de novo metastatic prostate cancer
hello, I was diagnosed in march with a very aggressive and advanced case, with many skeletal lesions - high volume/high risk. I’ve been on degarelix/Firmagon and Abiraterone for the past 3.5 months and it seems to be working well - just had my 3 month scans. And the terrible fatigue is under control

cardiac catheterization through the wrist?
My cardiologist is treating me for afib and possible CHF. He is bugging me big time to have a cardiac cath. to "rule out" CAD. I am resisting this, as many years ago I had a very bad experience with the femoral artery entrance way for the catheter procedure, and recovery was lengthy. The cardiologist

Hello to all you wonderful people. Without getting into a lot of detail, I will try and get straight to the point. I’ve been told I can make a novel out of one tiny incident…..lol After having a Holter monitor for 72 hours, my cardiologist wanted to see me right away. He said he was concerned with

Low cortisol .. next steps
Hello everyone I recently did the 4 point saliva cortisol test and the result was low cortisol at all 4 points, but particularly in the morning. It helped explain why I find it so hard to get out of bed and struggle with low energy all morning. My DHEA is also low. I then had a Short Synacthen test

Stress echo after effects
I had a dobutamine stress echo on Sunday which was pretty unpleasant and triggered my paroxysmal AFib. The AFib reverted on Monday morning but I am not feeling well since. Did anyone else have any after effects please?

Synacthen Test Results
Hi everyone, just looking for some clarification on a Synacthen test I've had. Bit of background, 36M, pretty healthy in terms of diet, exercise, sleep etc. No medications. I've been suffering for a few months with fatigue, heart palpitations. Seems to get a lot worse after exercise. Checked cortisol
