BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

adalimumab side effects
Have been on adalimumab 2 weekly injections for nearly 3 months. Have noticed that I am losing an excessive amount of hair each time that I comb my hair. Also, I have been suffering from swollen legs /ankles over the past month without doing very much at all. Have previously needed to stop methotrexate

Earlier today I posted the link to the PBC Foundaton's Urso calculator. There are so many posts and questions relating to Urso that I thought it was important for everyone to make sure they are on the right dose. This 'calculator' is also available on the PBC app. Knowing you are taking the right dose

Ursodeoxycholic acid
Hi, I've been on urso 2000mg daily for 8 years now, but it seems to give me diarrhoea lately. Does anyone else have this trouble, also does it mean it has stopped working? Thank you for any help.

Lupus Diagnosis
I haven't been online for some times, perhaps years. I don't think I have posted since losing my Mum in August 2021 and then I lost my Dad last year June. My health, not surprisingly, has been all over the place and under the following hospital departments: Lupus Rheumatology, General Rheumatology -

Any readers?
Would really appreciate recommendation for books linking autoimmune disease and trauma. Somebody I care about wants to read about it. Thank you. 😊

DVLA vision test
I am past 70 so needed to apply for license renewal. I know I have glaucoma in one eye so when I filled out the form online I ticked the box for eye conditions. I’m pretty certain that one of the questions was one or both eyes, I ticked one eye only. Few week later got the dreaded DVLA letter. This surprised

Baclofen pump
Hello my dear friends, My spasticity has gotten worse in my legs. I did a baclofen pump trial about 20 years ago. Made my legs too weak. Now I have much tone, especially my right leg. I don't think much had changed. I am still ambulatory, some days use nothing, trekking pole(s) or a rolator, depending

MRI results…how long to wait?
Hi guys, hope you’re all okay. So I had my pelvic MRI scan on Monday, it was awful as I was in the scanner for an hour and 10mins 😥. I stayed strong and got through it though as I know it was important. Just wondered how long you’ve had to wait for results (with nhs). My letter said up to six weeks.

Drops affecting eyelashes
I'm 41, had a combined trab & lens replacement in right eye 2 years ago and just lens replacement in left eye a few months later. Now the only drops I take are Dorzolamide timolol in the left eye, twice a day.I switched to the preservative free drops a few months ago but I think it's negatively affecting

Obesity Associated With Faster MS Disease Progression
[i]
Obesity in multiple sclerosis (MS) was tied to faster worsening of disability and an increased risk of physical, psychological, and cognitive decline, a prospective cohort study showed.

Not posted for a while, hope everyone is managing their lupus symptoms as best they can. I did think that using 50spf sun screen and taking hydroxychloroquine would keep my skin lupus at bay. However, I'm beginning to realise it is not just the sun and artificial light that my skin is sensitive to.

Apixaban rash
Diagnosed with DVT 4 weeks ago and prescribed Apixaban for life. This is my 3rd DVT. No problems for weeks and then a rash, very itchy, has developed on upper chest and top of arms. Occasional clusters elsewhere too. Just looking for general comments please before seeking potential switch to warfarin

Insomnia and Felodipine ?
Hi everyoneI have been on Felodipine for several weeks now after trying many other drugs for BP. While I feel a lot better on these drugs my existing insomnia is now off the scale!.

Weaning off Omeprazole
Does anyone have a treatment plan for a successful weaning off Omeprazole please? I want to start this process but am a bit scared as I stopped cold turkey previously and had horrendous issues. I understand that the drug makes the acid producing valve loose which further contributes to the issue causing

Bariatric surgery, what do you think?
I've been thinking about doing a stomach reduction surgery (gastric sleeve) because I can't lose weight. Since I have problems with my thyroid (RAI ablation in 2012) I gained 25 kg(90 kg in the past and now I've 115/1,87 cm)), I have tried all the treatments(ndt, synthetic) that have not yielded results

Low or high stomach acid? this is the question!
I recently spoke to my Gp saying I think I have low stomach acid rather than too much (symptoms are similar for both) I was prescribed Lansoprazole which I only taken rarely. She said she would swap me onto pantoprazole (aren’t they the same drug?) I have a stomach hernia so I have to be careful. When
