Weight problems and insensitive people
I've been so self conscious since gaining so much weight from my underactive thyroid that I'm basically a hermit in my own home, I barely go outdoors, for fear of being called up on my weight gain, or "looking well". Today I decided to go outdoors only to bump into an old acquaintance who couldn't resist

Dont panic.All I could think of was Corporal Jones.
Hi everyone. Earlier today I had to go to the Post Office to renew my driving licence. Couldn't do it online as passport had expired. They take your old licence, payment and then take your photo. Made a proper spectacle of myself as I was literally gasping for air. The Post Office counter lady was

5-htp for adrenal insufficiency?
I've just read a bunch of articles about 5-htp (an amino acid precursor to serotonin) stimulating the HPA axis and increasing cortisol levels. Has anyone tried this when tapering through the lower doses of pred?

fatigue
I was just changed from monthly blood tests to 6 months and 6 month check ups....the doc said I was stable and there was a good chance i would never need treatment. I am 76 and maybe he thought I would naturally not live that long. Anyway, my concern is this ongoing fatigue that smacks me in the face

Discoid lupus
Hi. I have just got results of biopsy. I have discoid lupus, I have also had full blood checks and came back clear. Every where I read says discoid lupus only affects the skin. But I have been experiencing joint pain pretty much every part of my body where there's joints, stiffness, extreme fatigue.

PSA At Very Low Levels But Starting to Rise
My PSA started to rise from undetectable up to about .36 in July 2021 after 9 years of treatment. My MO reviewed a PSMA and decided to have my largest tumor radiated. My PSA went below .05 once again shortly thereafter. My most recent PSA labs were : .05, .06, .06, and .09 last week. I am conferring

Afib medication
just spoken to a heart consultant first appointment. He has took me of bisporpol as heart rate still to high 180 bpm especially when I’m a sleep while in AFib. but I mentioned when I go back into normal sinus rhythm my pulse crashes to 30 beats per minute which makes me poorly in a way that I’m nearly

Slow Heart Rate
Does anyone else get episodes when their heart rate goes very low? I’m in AF the whole time and the only medication I’m on is propranolol. Since being AF my heart rate has increased but not massively and I tend to be around 80bpm. As far as I can tell my heart rate never goes above 100 unless with

Heart Rate Monitors
This may be a silly question but I'm a little confused. Whenever I see a doctor I'm often asked if I have a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure machine that can deal with AF. My BP machine can't detect AF but seems to be accurate otherwise when compared to readings at my GP. When it comes to heart

Nuelasta shot after Jevtana and Carboplatin treatment
I get a nuelasta shot 24 hours after receiving my Jevtana and Carboplatin iinfusion. I'm having major body aches for 2 to 3 days after receiving the shot to boost my white blood counts. None of my various pain medications works. Anyone have this problem or have an answer to help with the pain? Believe

road to diagnosis
Hi everyone, I don’t know where to start… it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. It all started when I started getting redness and discolouration in both feet. My GP did a blood test and referred me to my rheumatologist for further assessment. My rheumatologist felt that my feet getting red was

1st question re cardioversion
Hello everyone - I'm 68 and have had AF for about 2 years. Apart from a brief conversation re cardioversion and ablation when I was 1st diagnosed, none of the cardiologists I have seen have suggested that I should have cardioversion. I am currently taking 10mg of Bisoprolol a day in two 5mg tablets,

GCA diagnostic dilemma
Thank you everyone who has helped so far. Last night I had a message from Rheumy saying I should go to the hospital for an emergency biopsy, with the headache and unusual severe temporal pain being the driver. He said that U/S was so ‘operator sensitive’ as to be unreliable in this ‘locality’. The

Do you know the difference between a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and a heart attack?
Would you be able to tell the difference between a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and a Heart Attack? If so, would you know what to do? A sudden cardiac arrest is often misunderstood to be the same as a heart attack.
They are not the same.
