I finally got a GP to listen
I thought I would share this as I finally had success at getting a GP to listen to me. What helped to convince them was: 1. A ticked list of symptoms using the Thyroid UK list https://thyroiduk.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Signs-and-Symptoms-of-Hypothyroidism-V1.1-.doc.pdf 2. An excel file with my

GP and Cardiologist Disagree On Statins
7 months post Covid and unfortunately I'm still having issues. Went to the cardiologist to check my heart just in case. Normal echo, initially a normal EKG, but my stress test showed an inverted T wave. After bloods tests, he wanted me on statins and BP meds (BP is -140ish/90 and LDL of 159. Normal

Unnumbered post Learn from your mistakes 23 Feb 2021 2
Family, PAY ATTENTION. If something does not work the way "YOU" want it or had planned it to be, PAY ATTENTION and change your behaviour. This is a very BIG COMPLICATED illness, that we all have. PAY ATTENTION and learn from your mistakes and adjust. I learned that I am claustrophobic, so

Beloved ms family. All well and excited about the new day? I am wondering about a new desk so I have more room for my gym, I like the desk I have just a few inches (Centimeters) smaller is all I need. Ahh another problem to think about, what I need is a bigger house. The important stuff. As

Spasms. Beta Blockers vs Calcium Channel Blockers.
Today I watched a number of cardiac medical programs on Youtube and realised that most opinions relating the treatment of Coronary Artery Spasms include Calcium Channel Blockers. I have been prescribed the Beta Blocker Bisoprolol Fumerate 1.25mg which I understand from a number of the cardiac programs

Chilblain lupus erthematosus
I’m 70 in the USA. Chilblain LE dx from toe biopsy. I’ve googled and apparently it’s rare. The biopsy was done to rule out microthrombi bc I’m positive for APS antibodies(no symptoms) labs done at 68/69. For a couple of years raynaulds and acrocyanosis were tossed around but I don’t profile for either

Is there no pattern to this AFIB stuff?
My episodes have increased to almost once a month which is very disappointing because they used to be almost a year apart. I go to emergency & get chemically converted. PIPs have not worked. Last year, an IV of metoprolol (beta blocker) got me back into normal sinus rhythm, but the last couple of times

Liver Enlarged, Lymphatic system inflamed, Arm Pit Swollen, Dr(dr #3) says "Not a clue"
Hello all, I've been chugging away at dr's visits with primary care, internal medicine and awaiting a second opinion from a new gastro/hepatologist for the past 6 months. I am here requesting professional and/or informed opinions as to what may be associated and what may be causing my symptoms.

Fluoride toothpaste
Hi I’m using Durophat 5000 toothpaste , my teeth are weak despite calcium supplements I’m using this toothpaste to protect my precious teeth , I get a dry mouth due to RA too . As I apply the Durophat topically to 2 particular teeth to add more protection I’m wondering if it’s inhibiting my Liothyronine

Can I just stop AA
hi everyone just a question about AA, is it ok to just stop taking it? I was diagnosed in 2016 with PMR and 18 months later had a dexa scan which showed I had osteoporosis in the lower back. I can’t remember they exact numbers but it was only just in the realms of the lower end so was given Alendronic

Update since last post
Thank you to those who responded to my last post. You all have provided great advice and information and I am grateful.
