Prednisone and Muscles
A concern stemming from the very few questions I was able to successfully ask of the new to me Rheumatologist without being sssshhh'd.... She ordered a Muscle Enzyme Creatine Kinase lab test be performed, as did my GP a month earlier and after comparing the results, it had dropped significantly from

PMR and CK
( creatine kinase blood
test
which shows muscle damage).My
CK
is only mildly elevated now. It is said that CK is NOT elevated with PMR. My question: has anyone had mildly elevated CK with their PMR? Because it does seem possible my pain might be PMR. Any comments appreciated.

Blood work
Hello all-just looked at my blood tests and sed rate is 11, creatine kinase is 50. Are these the correct tests? And are they showing elevated results? I know some of you have said the Pred could mask results.

Elevated Creatine Kinase (CK) on blood tests
I am due to see orthopaedic end of aug, but in a meantime did some blood
test
privately and my
CK
results came elevated CK 329 (ref range 26-140) result as at 14 Jul I am seeing a doctor separately for my hormones and she suggested that this may indicate Myositis, which upon researching, it seems

Cirrhosis but no change in bloodwork
Diagnosed with fatty liver 10 years ago. Recently had a CT done for kidney stones and it showed Nodular liver. I was shocked. The weird part is my blood tests over the last 10 years always came back normal or just slightly elevated AST/ALT so doctors never thought there was a problem. Even now my standard

GP insisting on using CRP & ESR as inflammatory markers...and managing to get a creatine kinase blood test ordered...legs are still an issue
Hello I was called in to my GP surgery yesterday, by one of the GPs, the letter indicating it was for a medication review. She's not one of the GPs I prefer to see, she can be a little vague etc. But we ended up going through my meds and she asked about steroids being on my repeat....I said that although

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
This case report has a good side: the patient did get diagnosed and treated. But that only follows the dreadful treatment - missing cause of high cholesterol, took statins, rhabdomyolysis, kidney injury. Claims to have been reversed. (I'd like to see the patient's opinion!) But questionable whether

Mitochondrial Protections from Exercise (Part Ib)
There have been very many studies published on the effects of exercise, especially of endurance/aerobic exercise, in restoring the number, the quality and the activity of mitochondria, both in the skeletal muscles, the heart and in the brain neurons. As these are our highest energy demanding tissues

Good source of t3
Has anyone sourced their own T3 or is the best option a prescription from a Dr? I'm 10 years from having total thyroidectomy. T4 only suppression treatment for Papillary Cancer. I've established, through another post and my blood results, that my T4 percentage isnt good and my coversion to T3 is poor

Restarting T3
Hi, I’m restarting T3 tomorrow after I do a finger prick test tomorrow to see what my thyroid levels are like after being off T3 since the end of January. I’m starting on a quarter tablet. How often should I raise the amount? And after how long should I get my levels tested? Thanks

Hypo energy 'crashes' on a daily basis?
I am currently taking 125 mcg Levo and 10mcg T3 daily. I take the meds together around 2pm. Having finally got relief from so many symptoms (eg fatigue, muscle pains, zombie brain, low mood etc) recently, I am experiencing almost daily energy 'crashes'. They are quite overwhelming. I get a headache

Heme vs Non-Heme Iron Supplements
Since being diagnosed with low ferritin three months ago, I've been on ferrous sulfate tablets (1 - 65mg along with 500 mg vitamin C twice a day with meals). It's been working fine (went from 11 to 45 in a month) without any side effects. However, early on, I purchased a bottle of Three Arrows Heme after

Was it a TIA?
Hi all, recently had a suspected TIA nearly 3 months ago. I got home one night and went to lock the door and I couldn’t get the key in the lock. I had no pain, no disorientation or confusion, no blurred vision, no pins and needles or numbness, no slurred speech, my left arm just felt a bit heavy. I immediately
