Cramp
I would like to thank each and everyone of you for your most informative and positive replies and support for my husband and his severe cramp. I have purchased some of the things recommended but feel that the best way forward now is blood tests and take it from there. Getting him to take anything

I have posted on here before about my son. It started with a rash on his ear which then went to his face (bridge of his nose and eye brows). Around the time the rash started he also had canker sores appear. The rash lasted a couple of months but seems to pretty much have faded, however he is having

Hi im just looking for some advice if possible. 2 weeks ago today I woke up with a really tight chest and a feeling that something was sat on my chest! I got extremely anxious but through deep breathing I calmed myself down and went back to sleep, following on from that I’ve had an uncomfortable feeling

REFERRAL TO THE FORUM
"Long time member of PMRUK. What I thought was r/o, new physical evidence has brought me here. The PMR community has been great for the past 2 years, but they believe I may receive better guidance here in the Myositis forum. Honestly, as you read my latest post in the PMR forum I may not belong here

palpitations on Carbimazole

Blood test
I know from this community how important it is to test first thing in the morning but my doctors' surgery is very stretched and my blood test appointment can't be changed from late morning. I'm not sure I can last without any food until 30 minutes after the appointment. How bad is it to eat something

How do I update my bio?
My bio on Health Unlocked website needs updating. How do I do that? I can't seem to update my bio from 2023. I'm interested in adding PSAs and testosterone quarterly blood tests from 2023 and 2024. My good new is that my PSA has been 0.01 "nearly undetectable" for more than a year. My MO said don't

Stop Ibrance?
My HB and Platelets have been bad for a while. Mainly because I haven' eaten anything. I am now eating again and feel much better (I had other reasons), but she has ordered me back for new blood tests and wants me to change to Xeloda. I want a chance to get my appetite back up and eating normally before

Ana vs ENA
