RA Routine/Annual Blood Tests
I have a rheumatology appointment this week (unless cancelled by doctors' strike). It's been more than 4 years since I last saw a consultant face to face and want to check I am having all of the routine and annual blood tests that are recommended. I am on MTX and monthly have FBC - full blood count

TSH dropping, but FT4 stuck
I started levothyroxine on 10th August on 25mcg, then went up to 50mcg in September, then 75mcg Nov and I'm now alternating 75/100mcg every day. My TSH has dropped considerably, however my FT4 has got stuck at the very bottom end of normal and doesn't seem to be rising despite me increasing the dose

Well at least that’s one less thing to worry about.
I’m so pleased to learn that my recent dexa scan after seven years of prednisolone is normal and unchanged from three years ago. Not being a pill popper before diagnosis I have struggled to take the calcium and Vit D supplement and Alendronic Acid which were prescribed as routine by my GP. A dexa scan

Long Term Avoidance of calcium
Hello, I am male and 62yo. I have had issues with digesting dairy products for a number of years. At my last GP blood test the calcium number was 'normal' but I understand that this only gives a number for the calcium in the blood. Other blood results are normal. I am suffering from muscle aches, tingling

Alternatives to milk
I know there are lots of milk alternatives, eg soy milk, oat milk etc - does anyone know which one is the best for people trying to avoid calcium? I don’t really want to try soy milk, and as far as I can see, oats have some calcium. Does anyone know of a calcium free alternative? Thank you.

Changed my cardiologist ;)
sadly, I have decided to change my cardiologist. The guy who did my ablation in 2015 retired from surgery and opened his own cardiology clinic. I thought about changing to his clinic, and switch from my old clinic a year ago. After a bad experience their (being mocked by the receptionist for forgetting

Can Sodium or Calcium Channel Blockers Worsen SVT?
Okay, so I have a new med that I am trying, Propafenone. I have failed Norpace and also Flecainide. The problem I am having is that it seems that these medicines are making the SVT worse. I have Atrial Tachycardia. I cannot find any information about this. Where can I get more information? My doctor

Vitamin K2
Trying to find best vitamin K2 supplement. I can’t take calcium but lots of dairy and take D3 on its own daily. I take methotrexate, steroids and other meds so I don’t want the strongest K2 but one I can absorb without a problem. I have been on risedronate for two years but dexa scan had not improved

radiation whack-a-mole?
My stage IV prostate cancer has gone castrate resistant ... I've been taking androgen blockers (Eligard injections 90 days plus daily 1gm of abiraterone) for five years. The primary treatment in summer 2018 was external beam radiation. In 2021 I had cyberknife radiation to new lesions in spinal vertebrae

Calcium Channel Blocker Use and Associated Glaucoma and Related Traits
Morning, I came across this and thought it would be interesting for members to read, but we all know that a medicine that is meant to fix something has so many side effects. Because when you take a pill it goes through so much of your organs to actually get to where it's meant to go and that includes

sorry another post
since my other meds have inactive ingredients such as calcium and magnesium should I spread thyroid meds 4 hrs apart?

Anxiety again
Well it’s been a hard two weeks. My GAD has flared again. I’ve been climbing the walls again. I think the past year and a half has caught up with me. I’ve been pushing my limits for a long time. With my operation and recovery, going back to work too early, my sister ‘s stroke and running back and

Heart Calcium Score scan scare
Hello all. Last week I had a scan done that my Dr ordered because I am diabetic and over 50. I can exercise fine with my heart rate to 170 at times. I don't have any heart disease in my family on both sides. My cholesterol and triglycerides are all well within normal range but..........this score

Statins
Wondering if any one has any input on my situation.My cholesterol levels are pretty high but my cardiac calcium score is zero and MRA is normal. I've seen 2 cardiologists who both say I don't need a statin because my score is zero however my neurologist says I do because of the high cholesterol. My MPN

Does Afib have a connection with Hyperparathyroidism
I've had AF for 20 years .2 .5 years ago I had blood tests for Calcium and PTH after breaking a wrist chopping down Olive trees. I was diognosed with Hyperparathyroidism as the calcium was high and the PTH high as well as a dexa scan showing osteopenia, following this I had to have a couple of stents

Slippery Elm & Lansoprazol
I'm asking advice for my son. It's about timings etc re slippery elm, supplements and slippery elm. He's 40 and on Lazoprasole for almost 12 years for slight hiatus hernia. Each time he's not taken it, due to prescription mix up, he gets bad acid symptoms. At the moment he's having an acid flare up.

Amlodipine- calcium channel blockers
Update: Consultation with cardiologist pushed back till October. In the interim, I called my GP to discuss side effects of Bisoprolol and, the fact they are not reducing my BP. I have been told to reduce the Bisoprolol dose to 1.25mg per day and take it at night.-see how we get on for a week. If
