Is anyone taking Erleada?
Hello, I received my first Eligard injection on June 6th. PSA dropped from 9 to 0.7 in 3 months. For my second ADT treatment my doctor wants to switch to Trelstar. From what I read it sounds like Eligard and Trelstar are very similar, same side effects. Doctor also wants to add Erleada. After checking

Angry following angiogram letter from a consultant.
I received the following letter from a consultant-addressed to my GP- following my aborted angiogram of last week. It’s fair to say that since I read it this morning I have had steam coming out of my ears, not to mention chest pains. I would value any feedback and advice how to proceed: “Mr [..] has

Coping with working full time with PMR
I've read many helpful suggestions on this site on how to manage a heavy workload and PMR. I have a demanding job with a lot of responsibility. I have sought to balance my symptoms (heavy, heavy harness, brain fog, fatigue and reduced confidence) with work for the past few months, with varying degrees

Had telephone consultation this morning.
I had my three monthly telephone consultation this morning. As usual I worried myself silly yesterday and until the call came this morning. More so because of the ongoing worry about the possible AFIB and the medication I had been taking for the last six weeks. So the call came, my wonderful consultant

Is there an anti arrhythmia drug which doesn't have a side effect of nausea?
Me again. I've stopped taking amiodorane for over 72 hours and most of the nausea has gone. However, the afib symptoms have come back. I am dizzy, breathless and can feel a heart flutter some of the time. I had a phone call this morning with a date for a cardioversion but when I said that I

an Caffeine Trigger Near Syncope?
I quit drinking caffeinated coffee several months ago. My cardiologist told me I should avoid stimulants, as they can be AFib triggers, However, I have since seen studies concluding one or two cups of coffee per day should not trigger AFIb. So, as I was thinking about going back to my morning two-shot

ICD going off ??
I’ve had an ICD fitted since May 22. Last night was sleeping normally and woke up at about 4am with some chest pain. It only pains when I move my body in certain directions like twisting you back etc and on a scale of 1-10 the pain is probably 3-4…..nothing I can’t ignore and do the normal task. Apart
