Amiodarone
Hi I was on Amiodarone for at least 2 years with regular
blood
tests
. The main side affect that I had was I couldn’t go in the sun. I could even fill the sun burning me though my trousers. Being a naturist I hated not being able to go to the beach.

Neutropenia whilst on Tocilizumab
Last 2 monthly
blood
tests
showed pleasing normal CRP and ESR results, but Neutrophils were 0.9 and dropping. Last blood test was on Friday and Consultant phoned me immediately to take me off Tocilizumab and Methotrexate and increase Prednisolone from 9mg to 15mg.

Spironolactone for reduction of protein
Recent
blood
tests
showed proteinuria of 1711. Saw nephrologist this past Monday and he put me on Spironolactone 25 mg in order to reduce elevated protein. He also put me on Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate (SPS) Powder which reduces potassium (Spironolactone increases potassium).

Update
She was very grateful for all the printouts of my
blood
tests
and scans which I had printed and brought with me from the Private sector. She has told me to stay off MTX for now. She is prescribing pred for the moment but will do another blood test in 4 eeeks and see me again then.

Advice on Thyroid blood tests please?
hello everyone, could I get some input on my brother’s thyroid results please as I am attending his GP appointment with him. He has had three lots of thyroid testing since December 2023 and I think the first two results indicated Hypo and I believe that he should have been treated. However, a third

Feel like a fraud..
My doc has done 2
blood
tests
over 6 wks.' and informed me after the first test that my results show I have PMR and wanted to put me on Pred. After finding this website and reading through posts I am not convinced I have this illness.

Follow up with Rheumy regarding GCA.
a lower dose,we will discuss an even slower taper.He agreed that the aches and pains are probably adrenals being a bit lazy and also the neck pain and ear pain on right side was probably to do with the bony spur on right shoulder.But regarding the tingly scalp and head pressure,wants me to go for

diabetic patient uncontrolled vomiting and constipation
We did lot of
blood
tests
and ultrasound of his stomach. Everything came normal but his symptoms are getting worse day by day and he is feeling very weak. We are totally lost without any kind of support from the doctors as they say everything seems fine but it’s not fine.

1.5 mgs now blood tests all over the place
So I am into my third year with pmr. I have been at 1.5 mg prednisone for 2 weeks and had my quarterly bloodwork done. Ana is now positive. It was negative last quarter. I am positive for Sjogrens but I don't have any symptoms. Is this because of my lower dosage? I am a little stiff and slow , but
