Hyper/hyper thyroidism?
Following recent scan of saliva glands, which were normal, my thyroid was noted as being “dark”? As I had a partial thyroidectomy 40 years ago and do not take any thyroid supplementary tablets, any clues as to what may be going on. Symptoms, normally attributed to my age, are extreme tiredness

Stress and the Tapping Technique
Has anybody been introduced to this as therapy? It seems to have similar results to CBT in some clinical trials and I was curious. It first appeared as a facebook ad earlier, so as it mentioned Psychology Today, I read their article and also found an Article on the Positive Psychology website. It seems

Could I stop taking Rivaoxaban?
I’ve been on Flecainide, Bisoprolol and Rivaoxaban now for 5 years and have a pacemaker, my heart is in sinus rhythm at 60bpm. I understand that Rivaoxaban is to help prevent blood clots forming, but as my AF is now managed could I stop taking it? I get frequent gum bleeds despite excellent oral hygiene

Australian research - possible cure?
I don’t like raising false hope among our community about ‘cures’ toted in the media, but I found this article interesting. It’s about the T-cells, which many of us already know is involved in autoimmune activity: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast-episode/australian-researchers-develop-world-first-method-of-treating-lupus

PSA rise
2 months ago my PSA was 20. I have had extensive screening done prior to starting a clinical trial on Tuesday. My PSA has gone up to 367 since then. CT scan showed no significant change and I had bone scan yesterday. Onco says it may just be increased activity of existing cancer cells and not necessarily

TSH 3.88
Hi My recent blood test result showed my TSH is 3.88 and the receptionist said the doctor had left a note saying “tell patient normal” (which is what they always say). My question is…is it normal? I had a partial thyroidectomy in 2001 and have been on thyroxine ever since. Lately I’ve been struggling

question for you ectopic sufferers.?
hi you lovely people. I have a question maybe someone can shed light on.?? Iv had ectopic beats on and off for about 30+ years. But somedays they are more powerful and noticeable than other days. and so for me they are not as mentally draining as other days especially when they’re weak. But when

Inflammation still not contained
The preds and MTX 10mg (with folic acid) were only working properly for the first week at the 20mg preds my GP initially put me on on 27 November. A week later, actually the morning that i saw Rheumatologist, i made the mistake of dropping too quickly and drastically down to 15mg, as i was feeling

Clinical trials?
At the oncology appointment yesterday my husband was given what I believe is an amazing opportunity, he has the option of starting standard care ( immunotherapy pembrolizumab ) or participating in clinical trials where they will be also adding a second drug for a two pronged approach. Whilst I know

Questions for those currently on or have tried Olaparib or Rucaparib PARP inhibitors. Recently published study on Rucaparib.
For those of you who have tried or are on PARP inhibitors, which one did you use and at what point did you use them? Was it before chemo or after chemo? Did insurance cover the cost? Looking at the NCCN guidelines, which my husband's MO refers to often, they suggest Olaparib (Lynparrza) before chemo

Another antigoagulant question
Hello. A year ago I had painless thyroiditis which sent me into Afib and I remained in Afib constantly for 5 months for which I was on bisoprolol and an anticoagulant. I was then put on an anti arrhythmia meds at the time the thyroid cleared up and was soon back in NSR. That was last March. Since then

Long Journey
Hey Guys, I don’t post on here often and I’m afraid this will be a long post. I have had PCa over 18 years. Started with casodex, Lupron. A few months later, brachytherapy then 42 sessions of EBRT. Over the years PSA would rise, and I would be put on Lupron for 18-24 months. In 2017, PSA started rising

Hip Replacement while on treatment??
My husband, who is in a Clinical Trial at MDA for Richter's, needs a hip replacement badly - such that his severe arthritis is a bigger deal to his quality of life than the Richter's. He saw an orthopedic pain management specialist last week who had nothing to offer, stating that a steroid injection
