Sleep issues on Taxotere??
Update on my dad-he has been feeling great on Taxotere up until about 4days ago. His Alk Phos has been declining steadily and PSA has been steady. About 4 days ago he started having a lot of issues sleeping. He has only slept a handful of hours the past 3 nights. Today he is suppose to have his 5th chemo

Thoughts on my latest blood results
Just wondering if anyone would be so kind as to cast an eye over my latest results... a few of my b12 symptoms are coming back despite every other day injections. Very pale skin, tiredness, headaches, tingling arms etc. So I asked my doctor to do a full blood test and he reluctantly agreed, but has marked

Test results what do they mean? Have gone online so have previous results when I was complaining of fatigue, confusion over last 5 years...
Felt fairly rubbish over the last 2 months- feeling sleepy if sat back unless using the PC, hence watch TV on a night and o stuff on PC otherwise I would drop off, or reach for something to eat to keep me awake! Hence the expanded waistline.... Appreciate your comments - is it the thyroid, B12, or

Obtained my results as advised by the community, after being advised by GP to go for repeat test in 4-6 weeks as borderline thyroid issue...
Hi Just done the repeat blood test for thyroid and as I asked why my B12 was so high they are retesting B12 in case of a mistake in the lab. (I was expecting a low B12, as my sister has B12 injections, she is hypothyroid, Hashimotos and has MS. Mum and auntie also the hypothyroid condition. I don't

Preparing For ‘Breakthrough’ Clinical Trial With IPSCs
In addition to its potential as a long-awaited, meaningful PD solution, "induced pluripotent stem cells could also potentially treat multiple sclerosis,
ALS
, Alzheimer’s and other neurological disorders that currently have no cure."

Numbness/Spasms/Tingling
I don’t know why I’m telling myself it’s GBS or
ALS
. I pray it’s not. Has anyone gotten this and for how long ? I really don’t want to go to the ER. I just went a couple weeks ago.

Can anyone help?
I'm searching Google and of course I just had a major panic attack and convinced myself again that I had
ALS
. Does anyone else have muscle twitches that you think may be from anxiety?

Same story as last 3wk checkup! Alk Phos decreasing and PSA considered stable
Well we got my dad’s results back yesterday before his 4th Taxotere infusion. Still so confused! His Alk Phos has looked like this: Before each infusion: 1st-1500 2nd-650 3rd-300 BUT-his PSA looks like this: 1st-20 2nd-21 3rd-22 What is going on? I don’t understand how he is having such dynamic changes

Update on my dad-PSA not budging on Taxotere
Update on my dad.........just got labs back before getting his 3rd round of Taxotere. His Alkaline Phosphotase went from 1250 to 600!!! I was so happy about that but his PSA went from 20 to 21. His PSA was 20 before he started chemo. It’s not budging. Is this bad? Isn’t it a really good indication

MRE (Magnetic Resonance Elastography) "My Results" So much for trusting Biopsy and Ultrasound. Also... High ferritin may skew MRE score.
Hey friends, My Biopsy 2 years ago said "zero" evidence of PBC. My labs though said I had PBC. I was put on URSO since 2016. Only thing elavated for 2 years has been my Alk-phos. It fluctuated between 157-187 approx. Then Sept./Oct. this year, I felt nauseous and URQP. Labs jumped including AST & ALT

I'm venting...... 🙁
Hi everyone, I'm gonna apologize right now cause I'm venting. 😣 You don't have to read it. And thank you to the ones who stick it out. I'm sure my story is a familiar one. Being accurately staged? Is this something that can be done? I read about so many of us who have been told one thing by our doctors

Liver Function and Bisoprolol.
I am in permanent AF and it does seem reasonably well controlled with 7.5mg of bisoprolol and a pacemaker. My blood test results for liver function have been relatively normal but for raised tryglicerides for which I am prescribed Pravastatin and Omacor concentrated fish oil tables. Liver function tests

Did you know that proceeds from my book - The PSP Chronicles are pledged to PSPA and Cure PSP?
Being familiar with the symptoms of both
ALS
and Parkinsons, I really thought this would be a downer to read.
