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

Sudden diagnosis of CKD3 a few months following adrenalectomy

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?
Hello, I had to have a thyroid blood test due to imminent surgery so only had 3 days notice. I had stopped my b complex (PinkTribe liposomal b complex) 3 days before the test. The result of the T4 was 25 (11 - 21) whereas the test I had about 3 weeks ago at my Gp, when I had stopped the b complex,

"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

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

I told him I have pain every day and it's bad. I also have pain in my hip, elbow and hands. He said to have more blood tests and see the physio
