40ng Carbimazole - hylerthyroid (Graves')
Hi guys After having been prescribed propanylol by my GP, I saw a specialist endo today for the first time. As I don't have anything to compare it to, I'm unsure how safe/effective the course of treatment prescribed is. 20mg of Carbimazole x2 per day (40mg dose). It seems pretty high to me (though

Support for animal protein?
Is there any scientific support for including animal protein in my diet? About 4 months ago I started a plant based diet. Everything I see or read now points to why WFPB is good for you, but I am not sure if I am seeing this because it is true, or if I am just getting bombarded with this news because

GP 9 Rheumatologist 0
Following my rant ‘So angry’ about my ex-rheumy (sacked him on Friday) I had a good telephone appointment with my GP today. He doesn’t get a ‘10’ because he hadn’t read my letter although we discussed it (he’s not good at paperwork). He agreed that we don’t need a rheumatologist anymore. YIPPEE. He agreed

Blood clots and urticarial vasculitis syndrome
Hello everyone. I hope you are all feeling as well as can be. I wondered if anyone could tell me whether they have suffered blood clotting as part of lupus/ urticarial vasculitis syndrome ( or any other forms of vasculitis actually, as I'm not convinced that I only have the one type affecting small blood

Can Prednisolone Cause Extreme Fatigue?
I am awaiting a biopsy for confirmation of a diagnosis of GCA and started 60mg Prednisolone daily 5 days ago. I take them straight after breakfast but am getting absolutely crushing fatigue around lunchtime and the first half of the aftenoon. This is worse than the fatigue I was experiencing before starting

Ablation 8 weeks on
So I hope it is not too self centred/boring to give an 8 weeks on update on my ablation Quick recap 10 July first ever ablation two weeks NSR and very gentle on myself, then big disappointment as 2 solid weeks of fast afib resulted in needing cardio inversion and lots (8,75mg) of Bisoprolol daily.

Should I stop taking risedronate?
I have been taking this since January. My T score is -2.9 and the chance of a major spinal fracture over the next 10 years is14 per cent. I am -2.4 in the hip. I have never had a fracture. I try to exercise as much as possible - these days it's mainly walking. My calcium levels are fine and I have been

Is ADCAL dangerous?
My GP put me on ADCAL when he diagnosed PMR and started Prednisolone. At my first telephone consultatioon with a rheumy (I sacked him yesterday!) he said to come off it as it is dangerous. I am not on any calcium medication. Anyone confirm this or make any comment? Thanks.

Criteria for choosing non-emergency CABG?
My dad is scheduled for an angioplasty next week. His flow test and scans have revealed at least three significant blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. The doctors are planning to insert stents, but said the cath will give them a better sense of the blockages and if CABG is the better option

THE PROOF IS IN VITAMIN D BEATS COVID - WHY THEN IS IT ALL ABOUT A VACCINE
Apologies for the length of this post but the information I share below comes from Chris Kesser. He says "The first randomized controlled trial on vitamin D and COVID-19 has been published. The results are extraordinary. In short, taking vitamin D virtually eliminated the risk of ICU admission—and

Bio identical progesterone for endo treatment and cell-active DIM with calcium D-glucarate (food supplement) to get rid of excess estrogen??
Hi, I've had a horrible 2.5 years trying various contraception pills, mirena and vaginal ring to control my endo pain and periods but I've had very bad mood swings + cervix bleeding from too much estrogen due to taking the pill. I don't want to take any more contraception pills. I did some research
