Should I go back on 1 or 2 mg prednisone due to fatigue?
Hello friends! After a four year term of GCA, while doing a very slow taper of prednisone l have been off of prednisone for several months. Occasionally if I’m very fatigued I take a 1 mg. I have been very fatigued for the last few days and I’m wondering if I should maybe go back on a daily 1 mg

My Estimated GFR - eGFR
Some of you may recall when I was on diuretics (Furosemide) last year in an attempt to reduce the lymphatic fluid discharge from the macerated wounds on my foot (a result of "that we must not mention" Toe) my eGFR plummeted from 69% to 35% (distinctly worrying). A few months after they were stopped

Should I take a higher dose of levothyroxine?
I was diagnosed with sub clinical hypothyroidism in September last year, from a routine blood test, doctor called and said she had sent over a prescription to the chemist but did not ask me if I had any symptoms at all. I took the tablets but they were then upped to 50mcg in the new year, both times

Superficial peroneal nerve pain in ankle
Just found this group for chronic pain, wondered if anyone has suffered with chronic ankle pain.I broke my ankle 13 years ago and always had pain after, had plate and 10 screws taken out then an arthroscopy to take scar tissue out. Still in pain. Was eventually told it was nerve damage and too late

Xtandi did not work.
Hi all, I'm new to this board but would love some feedback. My father, 80, has been dealing with prostate cancer for a few years. He had initially had radiation plus Lupron injections. His PSA started rising again a few years ago and he wound up on Lupron regularly. His PSA has been slowly rising

Clopidogrel
Has anyone else been prescribed Clopidogrel for more than a year after having stents fitted? Everything I've seen suggests it is prescribed for a year, but I'm still on it nearly 3 years later. Even the doctor who gave me blood test results said he couldn't see any purpose in this but said I should

Finally treatment!! Central hypothyroidism recognition
Finally, after all these years of missed opportunities to diagnose thyroid dysfunction I have been prescribed Levothyroxine for the first time. I walked away from the GP appointment with a sense of disbelief. It's been a battle (as it surely has for many others on this forum). My GP has prescribed despite

How to get an accurate T3 reading with bloods?
Ive asked a similar question before, regarding blood testing for T4/T3 and realised for years I was having a blood sample done a few hours after I had taken my Levo upon waking up. People on here then said to have the bloods done that morning before taking T4, to get a more accurate reading. Since then

Blood tests a worry
Hi everyone, l was diagnosed with PAF several months ago, l was immediately put on Apixoban and given Flecainide as a PIP. In May my Afiibs increased from 2-3 a month to 2-3 a week.

Carbimazole - Graves
Ok hang in there with me on this .... A few weeks ago I posted that I was struggling on 5mg - everything pointed to too higher dose, fair enough so gradually lowered to 2.5mg - I lost my beautiful and beloved Labrador after a cancer battle in early March 💔and attributed a lot of my depression to this

Yet another question about cirrhosis.
I'm so sorry to bother everyone again. I promise this will be my last post for quite some time [hopefully]. I'm taking some advice from a couple of lovely members from this forum who have advised me to try and not worry so much over every detail of my condition, and live each day to its fullest. Just

Low adjusted calcium level
Is there any link between thyroid issues and a low adjusted calcium level? Vitamin D is higher in the range around 100 (I take 3,000IU per day) plus was on a multivitamin as well. It has never been a problem previously but two blood tests in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low

Advise on TSH and FT4 results
Hi All, Last week, I had a liver fibroscan, and the nurse informed me I had no scarring. However, he noted that there is a lot of fat (CAP score 307). The nurse took some blood samples, including TSH and free T4, as well as vitamin D, iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, and ferritin. I already
