GCA and Ocular TIA (mini stroke)??
I was diagnosed with GCA four and a half years ago , am on my third relapse and am tapering (now 10mg prednisolone and weekly Actemra). At the onset I had severe headaches and a dark 'veil' over half of my left eye which went after about 5 minutes and the opthalmologist put me on 60 mg prednisolone

Update omeprazole versus Famotodine
Well.. I've tried Famotodine since 1st May 20mg twice a day and 20mg omeprazole every other day to try to wean off it as per GP. I just can't do it! My acid is just too much to bare! My throat feels tight and the gerd is out of control I'm coughing like crazy! I think I'm going to have to go back full

History of Hypothyroidism on Maternal Side (Gma, mom, aunt, sister). HELP! Should I get tested?

calcium supplement before reclast infusion
is it best to take a calcium supplement before my infusion, I have had a blood test prior to my infusion but a blood test doesn't really show how much calcium in your bones and I have been reading that reclast lowers calcium levels.

Is drinking milk bad for osteoporosis?
I've just heard Heather Mills on TV make this statement! I am shocked to say the least. I always have a large bowl of cereal in the evening and go to bed on hot milk as I believed this was one way of getting calcium in me????

Any success with only one Lap surgery for DIE?
Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing as well as possible. I'm 5 weeks post op for my first lap for DIE, large cysts organs stuck together. All the good stuff. I've recovered pretty well and feel ok now. I'm on Utrogestan 200mg to hopefully stop my period and reduce chances of regrowth. I also take NAC,

Could eating Natto cure Parkinson's?
Natto is fermented soybeans and a dish traditionally eaten in Japan. See article below and the connection in how it could help cure your Parkinson's. Since it has many benefits it would be worth trying. The food itself is bland but can be mixed with other foods to be more enjoyable. You should be careful

calcium supplement
Was on 10 mg for 9 months, now down to 7 after a year. Heard of calcium supplement being prescribed for some friends (female). Is that something everyone on steroids should be taking?

Tomorrow I get my Cardiac CT Results
I was hoping that I could reverse my plaque scores but after reading a medical journal, I will now be happy with status quo.This is what it states: Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) have been proposed to accelerate native coronary atherosclerosis. In patients with established coronary artery disease

problems post SVT ablation
I have managed SVT for 7 years using vagal manoeuvres but decided to agree to an ablation because of increasing frequency of episodes. Prior to ablation I was sometimes having 2 or 3 episodes a week. Episodes were 5 to 10 mins and I could reliably convert. I am in my late sixties. I had an SVT ablation
