cortisol/underactive thyroid
Out of interest, if your cortisol is high in the morning, would taking your levothyroxine in the morning make you feel even more stressed/twitchy?

Retacrit Shots
I’m posting this in hopes it may help other MPN sufferers. In early December, 2023, I saw my longstanding oncologist of 20 years. My labs showed 7.2 hemoglobin I was weak and tired. He sent me to a hematologist at Emory Hospital in Atlanta. The new doctor tested me for my EPO level. Mine barely registered

Cardiac rehabilitation
Hi all, I had a heart attack mid November, had a stent fitted and spent three days in hospital. I was told I’d get contacted about cardiac rehabilitation, chased it up last week and apparently I’d been forgotten about, but am now on the list to start at the end of Jan. Can’t get a GP appt though they

taking Urso
I know some of you have already read the comments on the FB page. The subject of taking Urso, even though it causes so many side effects and ‘doesn’t keep me from dying’, has been brought up. I feel in my heart I need to offer my thoughts. I have been taking Urso for over 35 years. I had PBC for 20

Shooting pain below left nipple
Hi. Is it normal to be still getting discomfort around the heart and the odd shooting pain 2 weeks after having a heart attack and a stent fitted left descending artery? It feels like a sharp stabbing pain below my left nipple. Not excruciatingly painful but enough to be distracting and slightly worrying

Latest Private Test
Hi there, I'm still waiting on a telephone app with my GP, but my new private antibody test results have come back. I get these done myself as we know GP's and the Endo situation is pretty poor for most of us, as our symptoms often get dismissed. The last endo appt said I may be at risk of developing

Which treatment option best for recurrent oligo?
In addition to SBRT for the two mets that make me join the happy recurrent crowd, what would be my best treatment option? I have had no SOC medication for 2.5 years. My T is 4 European scale 110 US scale. 1 Only ADT for seven months. This is what MO recommends, besides SBRT, since stronger/longer

Burning pain in right armpit (CABG 10/18/23)
Hi everybody!I had my CABG done last Oct and was wondering if anyone else has experienced a burning shooting pain in one or both of their armpits? It started about a month or so ago in my right armpit and has continously gotten a little stronger over time.

Embarrassing post HA problem
I had a heart attack in 2021, and a stent fitted. As with us all I was put in a cocktail of drugs - 6 in all and I have taken these every day since. Since my HA I have had erection problems, maintaining it is now seemingly impossible. I’m only 59 and wish to continue to have a sex life but this is now

kidney blood test questions
I just had a routine blood test. I won’t be able to see the doctor for answers until Friday and I’m worried and scared. My eGFR numbers dropped from 95 to 44 in one year. My Creatinine numbers are high and my cholesterol numbers also shot way up. I have no symptoms. Has anyone else had such a change

Imperial College Help please
Hi, further to my last post - thank you all so much - my GP and Renal Consultant are in agreement that I see a rheumatologist as well as continuing to see my renal Consultant. A few people and Vasculitis UK recommended Imperial College as I believe they have a Vasculitis Centre there? I think I've had

cortisol test
hi, I have had a thyroid test done by blue horizon, the morning cortisol has come back at 310. I have read that they investigate anything lower than 450, is this the case? What should I do? It was finger prick, I have not done a 4 point Saliva test thanks matty

Safe and useful to take K2 MK7 after stent and under clopidogrel ??
After ordinary check up, my cardiologist diagnosed a block of branch and prescribed coronarography... during the procedure placing of a stent and since then I have to take the "usual" cocktail: clopidogrel (for maybe 1 year?) + 80mg statins + asaflow + ramipril... I'm looking for something else, to

Stabbing pains
I’m in the middle of all my tests - looks like I have (perhaps) fibrosis F2/F3 and severe fatty liver. And some mild portal gastropathy. However it’s a pain in the upper abdomen that’s confusing me. It’s mostly a stabbing sharp pain and sometimes it actually makes me itch - not like on the skin, but

Low heart rate
12 days ago my husband had a log hit him in the shin whilst splitting logs. At the time it came up like a tennis ball but other than that didn’t think too much of it. The swelling has gone down but he is getting pain in his leg. Not the leg they harvested from for his CABG x5). Eventually we decided

Shallower breathing after stent placements, no heart attack
Before my two stents two weeks ago my breathing was deep and satisfying. Since I got the stents, my breathing is shallower though I'm not breathless. I'm doing my cardio-rehab and function very well physically. I am quite physically active. I am concerned because before my stenting I felt my body

Tomorrow I get my Cardiac CT Results
I was hoping that I could reverse my plaque scores but after reading a medical journal, I will now be happy with status quo.This is what it states: Coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) have been proposed to accelerate native coronary atherosclerosis. In patients with established coronary artery disease

Liver disease, mast cells and antihistamine
I’ve just seen a post on X about mast cells and Covid-19 which mentioned a link with autoimmune diseases of the gut and the use of antihistamines as a treatment.. I wondered if anything was known about autoimmune liver diseases, mast cells and antihistamines. I found this 2017 research paper https://
