My latest six-month review with a (2nd) locum.
Two days ago I arrived at my rheumatology clinic in good time for my appointment. Waiting for my name to be called I became increasingly concerned when people coming in after me were being called by the two consultants on duty. More than half an hour passed while I observed patients coming and going.

Actor Bruce Willis has received a further diagnosis of FTD - frontotemporal dementia
FTD - frontotemporal dementia is an umbrella term to include neurological diseases like PSP and CBD. I came up with a revised set of parody lyrics of the Beatle's Let It Be to include FTD, PSP & CBD. https://youtu.be/bRN-JPI7mJI Tim

In trouble EGFR 11
This is obviously not 'early
CKD
' but I've been lurking on the board for a long time. I was diagnosed with IgA nephropathy in 2018 band my EGFR had been 21. I am in my late 40's. Male. White. It was caught at a blood test for something else. Since January this year it is at its lowest.

Bisoprolol alternative to avoid cold extremities
Afternoon all, Despite 2 ablations my AFib episodes returned a year ago. Bisoprolol and flecainide seem to control it well, but I really struggled this winter with cold extremities. Despite plenty of layers, woollen socks, thick long skiing gloves I still have very cold fingers and toes. I tried

New here - matazapine not working
Hi all, new to the forum hoping to get some advice. Been struggling with sleep for the past 5 months literally came out of nowhere, I've not slept right through for months. I saw my g.p who prescribed low dose zopiclone which didn't work. I've also tried cbd oil, nytol, and other over the counter meds

C25K - Target Pace?
After a false start a couple of years ago I have recently completed a c25k program. I was prompted to try it and get fit after a 'minor' heart attack in 2020 when I was 61, but I felt very vulnerable and frankly was scared of trying it. Jump forward a couple of years to 2023 and after a period of

Uveitis treatment opinion please
I have been an intermediate uveitis patient ( vasculitis of the eye) for about 18 months now. Have had several steroid implants in the eye and has been on methotexrate injections for 6 months now. But the oedema due to vasculitis is coming back repeatedly. So seems like I have 2 options now in terms

Supplement Reverses Hallmarks Of Old Age And Promotes Healthier Aging
Good Morning All, I thought this may be of interest to some or many. The supplement "Glynac" (combination of Glycine and N-acetylcysteine) showed after 16 weeks of participants taking doses of 100 mg/kg/d each of glycine and NAC, was associated with a host of benefits for key hallmarks of aging and

Does anyone with CKD have any experience with Circle of Care phone calls? They say they are part of my drs medical group, but they arent.
My husband thinks it's a scam. They said my dr signed me up, my drs ofc say they never heard of them. I told them to quit calling me. They said they are a medicare program and the only way I can get out of it is to quit Medicare. Say what, that sounds like communism.

PMR without steroids?
Hubby (55) was just diagnosed with PMR that we suspect he's had for about two years. He'd like to try and work through it without taking prednisone since every post we read is about people trying to get off of it. Do you think it's possible to manage the pain with other means and methods long enough
