Experiences with

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Hi everybody - so I am completely at a loss to understand how my Fibroscan could be completely normal (100 CAP/6.7 kpa, repeated 3x with the same results) when the biopsy reading from my hepatologist came back from the lab as being Stage 4 Cirrhosis. The doctor himself is also unsure what to make of

15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

hi I have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia, along with underactive thyroid, arthritis, chronic fatigue (long covid) and diverticula desiease (from pain relief meds). Although I have managed to cope and work full time for a number of years, I was hit with COVID and flu together at Christmas and it has

We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.)   He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.)  His PetScan shows some growth (

hi everyone, i have hemorrhagic cysts, diagnosed by internal ultrasounds by the gp. Are these what endometriomas are? Any information would be appreciated 😊

Good day everyone. Has anyone has their levels checked? Does high levels correlate with PA and Autoimmune Gastritis? Thank you

my PSA rose from .04 in Jan to now .21 so it’s moving up. I assume this is still too low for a scan to determine where pc is at. I was undetected for 2 years after radiation of pelvic area.

Hello, approximately two years ago I was submitted to hospital with Jaundice after a binge drinking session. I was given an Ultrasound, and told that my results were “clear” and that my liver was normal sized and regular in outline. I was released the next day and given a prescription of Thymine .

I'm John and for several years have posted in HealthUnlocked about atrial fibrillation and stroke. In 2014 I had pulmonary toxicity (cryptogenic organising pnuemonia) secondary to dronedarone and amiodarone. It took three hospital admissions before it was correctly diagnosed. I had read the American

I am still very much at the beginning of my journey. I have suffered from mouth ulsers most of my life with no diagnosis or reason to why. It was when I was pregnant in 2020 that I started suffering with vaginal uslers to be told it was due to my pregnancy, they continued after my son was born to

Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) and Science Foundation Ireland, published this week in the Journal of Neural Engineering, the team in the College of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at University of Galway have shown that transplanting the immature

After radiation to prostate bed and to one pelvic metastasis, I was on xtandi and Lupton for three years and now have been on "vacation " for a year with PSA of 0.02 and testosterone at 4. No meds at all for last11 months!Had a heart attack in May '23 (which I attribute to covid shots) , doctors told

I am trying to understand PSA bounce or change in PSA levels after RT and have found two studies useful. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7465291/ https://www.nature.com/articles/s41391-021-00387-4 Some analysts distinguish between PSA bounce and biological recurrence, and see a possibility

Many, many years ago, I used to occasionally have a gin and tonic or angostura and tonic (if driving). And became convinced that, if the tonic contained saccharin, I would likely end up having a relatively high heart rate. But this was long before I had any idea about afib. As I hate the taste of saccharin

Hi. Wondering if anyone on here has had the above diagnosis. The drug involved was Nitrofuratan. The Consultant has told me the scarring will not heal.
