PMR Newbie
I’m a PMR newbie that’s very relieved to be starting steroids today after blood test showed CRP levels 65 mg/l and painful knees, hips shoulder, muscular pain in thighs and upper arms last couple of months. It’s come on so quickly it’s hard to get my head around it. Hoping for great things from the

at last
more than 12 months several trips to neurologist, scans and blood tests I’ve now been put back on B12 injections (on the advice of the neurologist to the GP surgery) every 8 weeks, my original GP said my levels were high enough to last for years and he thought it was masking something else so he stopped

My first results after beginning 5mcg T3. Is my FT4 & FT3 too high now?
Hello again, please could I ask for your thoughts on my new blood test (Blue Horizon Thyroid Bronze). 6 weeks ago I started taking 5mcg T3 once a day (via Roseway Labs) alongside my usual 75mcg Levothyroxine as my FT3 was on the low side. (I’m 67, only been hypothyroid for 18 months) Blood was

You were right, of course, Dorset Lady!
I upped the dosage back to 1 mg yesterday and felt way better. I emailed my primary care doc (I think you there refer to this one as a GP) who immediately said I need a slower taper just as you said, to go with what my body is telling me. I'm lucky to have him since the rheum seems to think the adrenals

hyper/hypo now normal?
Hi all, I have posted previously about being diagnosed hyperthyroid and started on Carbimazole, this was stopped due to persistent neutropenia, then i swung to hypothyroid and now 7 weeks later I’ve had another blood test and everything’s normal! I feel like I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride and thrown

STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FINALLY SCHEDULED (WE HOPE)
Hi everyone. As you may know, my husband was diagnosed with CLL back in 2013, treated with six cycles of FCR, and achieved a "full response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow." He had severe complications after treatment, but the CLL never recurred. In November 2023 he began to experience

Alarming Thyroid Test Results :(
Hi everyone, I'm new here, nice to meet you all 🥰 I am a bit scared because I received some alarming blood test results. Everything started a couple of months ago when I began experiencing severe episodes of itching all over my body. I went to see my doctor to investigate this issue, and they prescribed

Results---- off topic
Just to let those who asked know and save me writing umpteen PMs, I saw the haematology consultant this morning following the bone marrow biopsy and all is fine as is bone density. In fact infection/inflamation markers are slightly down on last set of blood tests so discharged back to GP with watching

Gallbladder removal with low platelets
I am in remission with CLL and now after a visit to A&E because of agonising pain they discovered Gallstones and want to remove my Gallbladder asap. My last blood test shows Platelet count - 130 10*9/L ......also low Haematocrit and Red blood cells. Does anybody know if this would be a problem

Just a quick update, Endo appointment 👿
went to Royal Liverpool Endo dept , was hoping to see the consultant who is on TUK Uk list. Unfortunately this did not happen, the person I saw was less than helpful, see I can be tactful, sometimes. Introduced herself as diabetes consultant and she lived up to that name. The first thing she said

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening

Update from symptoms etc...
OK guys, to give you a bit of an update. Nurse from surgery called this afternoon and has asked me to do a weeks worth of BP readings, done at rest twice daily. I also have a blood test booked to recheck thyroid levels and dependant on results of BP could have an ECG too. Was expecting more of a follow

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
