Too little Pred?
hello all- new here and am still working to understand PMR. I have a ton of blood tests done and my father has RA. I just turned 50 and am a very active, flexible former gymnast. I work out 6 times a week and have done Pilates and/or yoga and elliptical daily. My symptoms came on quickly about 6 weeks

MY REMEDIES FOR MY RLS
I haven't been on this site very often in the past few months... work, life and other things going on but mostly because I finally settled in and started 100 mg of Gabapentin at night and this has helped tremendously. I know 300 mg is the start dosage but 100 mg takes care of 90% of my night symptoms

Do you that have had Orchiectomy still take ATD Medication?

Sudden diagnosis of CKD3 a few months following adrenalectomy
My wife was borderline cushing's disease back in fall. For years she had a nodule on her adrenal gland that was creating significant health issues. Had surgery to remove the one gland back in November, and then was on a course of hydrocortisone for about 4 months (gradually decreasing dosage until done

Complete Remission
My Complete Blood Count (CBC) results state the normal range for Lymphocytes is 850-3900 cells/uL. The NCCN CLL guidelines for Complete Remission (CR) states Lymphocytes must be less than 5000 cells/uL. Why is 5000 cells/uL an acceptable NCCN CLL CR level for Lymphocytes when the maximum for the Complete

How rare is it to be diagnosed with PMR at age 45?
I am writing to ask advice from this excellent Forum which has been such a help to me in the 3 years since I was eventually diagnosed with PMR, having had a nightmare obtaining help and support due to Covid, lockdowns, lack of face to face appointments etc. My own journey remains a struggle, but I'm

Can b complex with biotin cause elevated T4?

Blood test help - trial T3 or get vitamins up first?

BCF after 9 years post proton therapy
My PSA had been increasing slowly since my nadir of .75 in 2017 reaching 1.19 in 2022. Both RO and Uro weren't terribly concerned. I wanted PSMA after 3rd consecutive increase but both recommended a wait and see approach, especially the RO who seems honor bound to wait for 2.0 over nadir. I skipped

"News of a potential blood test gives early diagnosis hope for Parkinson's" (RLS research needed?)
Researchers have developed a blood test to predict patients who would 'develop Parkinson’s - up to seven years before symptoms began'. Could similar research bring potential benefits for RLS? 'The markers were directly linked to inflammation and degradation of proteins and could be used to develop new

Hashimoto's blood test and cortisol tests
I have been asked by my GP Surgery to provide them with the list of blood tests I believe are correct for a patient with Hashimoto's. I don't seem to be able to find it. Would someone be kind enough to show me where I may find it please? Is it the same as under active blood test or are there 'extras'

Blood Tests to show if Calcium is being absorbed into the bones and not elsewhere....
Does anyone know if there's blood test than can tell if the calcium supplements are in fact going to the right place ( the bones) and not being absorbed into the bloodstream, if so what's it called? I have been diagnosed, via the DEXA scan, with severe osteoporosis, but I don't understand the explanation

HoLEP Affect on Pca
as posted earlier, I have both BPH (80 cc) and localized prostate cancer. Clear PSMA. I’m having HoLEP surgery. Wonder how this will impact the cancer. How will PSA respond? What happens if HoLEP actually removed the cancer?

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

Hand inflamation following PMR
Hi there, I suffered bad PMR for nearly three years, strating on 30mg of pred. Tapering down until about six weeks ago... maybe too fast towards the end, the GP put me on Naproxin. Aches and pains were fairly bad but a trigger finger has led to inflammation and paralysis to both hands. No one seems to

Bilateral frontal calvarial metastases
Has anyone in the forum experienced bilateral frontal calvarial metastases associated with their PCa? I recently had a brain MRI where this metastases was identified. The assessing physicians impression was that there is no worrisome parenchymal or leptomeningeal enhancement and did not recommend any
