calcium supplement before reclast infusion
is it best to take a calcium supplement before my infusion, I have had a blood test prior to my infusion but a blood test doesn't really show how much calcium in your bones and I have been reading that reclast lowers calcium levels.

Has my PMR Gone?
Hello friends, I haven't posted for some time now partly because I've been feeling very depressed on account of my worsening health and my GP has prescribed Mirtazapine to be taken every night before bed. I've been on them for a few months now but can't say in all honesty that I am feeling any better

Impending GP appointment advice
Hello everyone and thankyou for your advice.I was diagnosed last August with hypothyroidism and cautiously started on 25mcg. I assume because of being over 65. Since then I have been having the usual 6-8 week blood tests and in February finally reached a dosage of 100mcg daily. My current weight suggests

Still on 50mcgs Levo and symptoms returning…
Morning everyone, It’s been a while since I last posted; And no surprises but I’m still on 50mcgs with symptoms I had before I was diagnosed returning. My GP refuses to increase because my last blood test done in January showed my FT4 at 19.4 and he said he doesn’t want it to get any higher than that

Returning to Warfarin after 4 months on Edoxaban ...... part 2
I posted on here my original comments on this subject. Hopefully, this update, will be of interest. I made the decision to quit Edoxaban on 6 April. I didn't /couldn't be bothered to make contact with my GP, whenever I phone up for a chat I'm asked to make an appointment which usually is about 10 days

Letrozole
I saw the oncologist yesterday to discuss radiotherapy and hormone therapy.The plan for radiotherapy is on hold ATM because I have an ongoing issue with a seroma on the breast and underarm. During the meeting she said she would give me a prescription for Letrozole, I told her I wasn't happy to start

requesting a IgA anti-TTG test in the UK
I have coeliac disease. The other day I talked to a doctor (over the phone, of course) to discuss results of my blood test. I then said that I would like to request a IgA anti-TTG test for my son (as you know, this is done through a blood test). I was told that now doctors can no longer request this

Getting tested for autoimmune diseases
I posted about experiencing intermittent burning joint pain and I appreciated hearing everyone's responses. There were a few people who said they also had this. When I saw my hematologist (MPN specialist) a couple weeks ago, I told him about the burning joint pain. He wanted me to get it checked out
