An indicator in the blood could guide lupus treatment
A clinical trial (called “BEAT-Lupus”) has found that using a combination of two biologic treatments, rituximab and belimumab, may be more effective than using rituximab alone in patients who have not responded well to other treatment. They also found that people with a particular indicator in their

GP’s and meds (Losartan and Lercanadipine) !!
I despair! the surgery advised me on Monday that they thought the Losartan was causing a decrease in my sodium level (127). They suggested I try Lercanadipine instead. I took the first one this morning and my pulse rate went mad all morning and my BP dropped quite a bit. I contacted the surgery &

Effect of exercise on thyroid blood tests?
Just wondering,what effect have people noticed on their blood tests if exercising the day before/same day/other time? SlowDragon has previously shared that the ideal time for thyroid blood tests is just before 9am, and I'm wondering if exercising should also be taken into account? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Low blood pressure
I have GCA with Takayasu Arteritis. I am taking Clopidogrel/ Atorvastatin/ Bisoprolol/ Tocilizumab (3 monthly), yesterday my blood pressure was 92/80. It was taken at the hospital as the doctor’s surgery can’t find it, or my pulse. I emailed my Dr with the result, and she rang me today. I told her I

I often wonder how much simple actions are under rated and by how many in our highly accessible procedure/drug world.
Are you doing some basics to strengthen your heart beat (check with your medic first)? Eg. Daily brisk walks for 1 mile+ Light weight training with dumbbells Nose breathing (day & night) to increase nitric oxide to heart Co Q10 supplement Works for me with no known side effects! 😁

Anyone ever regurgitate something you ate the day before?
I get burning throughout my whole GI, shortness of breath, loose stool, regurgitation and a whole bunch of other symptoms irresponsive to medication. Sometimes I can regurgitate something like a bit of carrot or mushroom a full day after I've had it. I had a teaspoon of seeds yesterday, 16hours late

I just spoke with my doctors nurse and it shows you can always learn new things and you can also mess things up. Lol. I hadn’t mentioned much about being a little bit nervous regarding my new pacemaker. The past two days my heart rate has been up. I am set for 80. I have noticed, and I know that my

Hi Everyone, I’m a newbie
I’m female mid seventies and have angina and a GT spray. I get severe chest pains but only when resting. I was to have day surgery a few weeks ago to remove an anal polyp which might be cancerous but despite having a thorough pre op assessment, the anaesthetist said I could not be treated unless a bed

Vitamin D - daily dose?
when I was first diagnosed with PBC my Vit D levels were low so had a high dose supplement which brought levels up to normal range. Bone density scan was OK. With general vitamin supplement and cod liver oil in winter months I take 10 microg of Vit D. I would be interested to hear how much anyone else

Lupus Anticoagulant testing while on Warfarin
I have searched the group but I do not seem to find what I need to know. If your hematologist insist on testing for Lupus Anticoagulant how many days must you stop warfarin before the test? The hematologist says that the DVRTT test works without stopping Warfarin. But I have read many times that while

ET JAK 2+ CBD patches
So after suffering from breathlessness for 3 years or more and being told by lung consultant that it was due to putting on a bit of weight I paid privately to see a cardiologist!!! He looked at my notes from the lung specialists and saw that they’d fine Ct scans with & without contrast and that nothing
