Hyperparathyroidism in PCa.
New Italian study below. Any ideas? There are 4 parathyroid glands in the neck (near the thyroid) & they secrete parathyroidism hormone [PTH] in response to a drop in circulating calcium. The kidneys respond to PTH by converting calcidiol (25-D) to calcitriol (1,25-D) - i.e. creating hormonal vitamin

Asthma and sinus surgery
I had sinus surgery five weeks ago - polyps were removed and my turbinates were reduced as I was certain my sinus issues were making my asthma much worse - inhalers had little effect and it was course after course of prednisilone. Up to now I am cleaning my sinuses out with neil med and taking betamethasone

Things I've learned so far about getting through chemo
Here are a few things I've learned so far from going through 3 1/2 cycles of chemo. Feel free to add to this. Take the Dexamethasone or Prednisone steroid to help with side effects Try to keep something in your stomach which helps reduce the nausea Drink at least 5 glasses of water a day Get some light

Platelet drop while on steroids. Is this normal
Newly diagnosed ITP . Hemotologist put me on dexamethasone 4 day and count up to 120000. I then crashed to zero 3 days later. Did another 4 day pulse and went up to 36000 and crashed down to 5000 3 days later. Both crashes while off the dexamethasone. Hemotologist put me on 50 MG prednisone daily and

The drugs dont work..... Well prednisolone anyway
I went back to the Haematologist last week knowing things could only get worse, I felt great and had no symptoms (of ITP, thanks to prednisolone I'm writing this at 4:46am). Sure enough my count had dropped to 11 (from 25) and they were getting nervous. They did another blood test at the clinic (normally

Vitamin D and Cancer Risk and Mortality
New review below [1]. The details are not free, but the Abstract has something I'd like to address: "There has been substantial enthusiasm recently regarding the potential role of vitamin D in the primary and secondary prevention of cancer. Laboratory studies demonstrate a range of anticarcinogenic effects

Advice for a new member please.
Hi all, I have been reading posts daily to try to understand how to read test results before my next hospital appointment with a consultant. I have a family history of thyroid problems. My mum had Graves and had her gland removed and my sister had Hashi and also had her gland removed. I have suspected

Asthma Solution
Keeping with the normal dose of Prenisalone is helpful to keep asthma in control. But it would make you cramp to your hands and feet nervous systems. Especially when you take shower. Therefore I would recommend to take Dexamethasone instead of Prenisalone. Also Acintromycin would help

Out of ideas
I've been dealing with high cortisol for the several years (possibly more) and cannot seem to get it under control any means. My last salivary cortisol is the highest it's ever been (will list figures below) and my sleep is now seriously impaired. I'm sick of being told it's "stress", I'm unable to

MRI results
Prior to my daughter's MRI of her hips, dexamethasone was prescribed by her primary because her pain and swelling was worsening. Steroids worked. However, MRI showed negative for arthritis. She has multiple symptoms pointing to arthritis and I would like to know if dexamethasone can alter MRI scan.

Dexamethasone
Has anyone been prescribed Dexamethasone. If so what were your results and side affects. I have read that after the initial dose you don't take it again for two months. My hematologist says he will prescribe this for me if my platelets drop below 30,000. Lowest I've been so far is 36,000.
