Cirrhosis or PBC ?
THE SHORT STORY My husband was recently diagnosed with F4 Cirrhosis. Began as NAFLD (not from drinking). Short story is that he's had high cholesterol maybe all his life, but it was noticed during a High School football check-up. That was 40-some years ago! He totally forgot about it until a doctor

Methotrexate for the summer
Hi lovely friends, Some of you will recall back in February that I had a flare with rash that my Rheumy, Dr A, didn’t recognise as a Lupus rash. He is still adamant it wasn’t Lupus then but that the progression, which 2 weeks later was confirmed by the Dermatologist as a Lupus rash, was! 🤷🏼♀️

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

Hello everyone. I would like to give a little back history on my health condition. Back in November 2022, I went for my regular blood and urine test. Everything in my blood was great but my urine showed a lot of protein . The doctor put me on a medication called Farxiga. I went back 3 months later

Help with husband who has diabetes but is in denial
my husband has diabetes, untreated, except for the piddly diet changes he’s made that he thinks will reverse the condition. Many years ago his numbers were high, they are higher now, 6.8 with a 148 glucose level, and I managed to get him to follow a strict diet and exercise plan which resulted in a reduction

Managing glucose spikes
In case you haven't seen it, a new book by a biochemist on managing spikes. She gave her 3 top tips on TV. 1 Have a savoury not a sweet breakfast - otherwise it starts cravings through the day. 2 Move around after meals - eg a walk or other activity after meals to reduce the spike. 3 Have vegetables

Jakafi - Low Glucose Levels
I'm on Jakafi 2 years 5 mg twice a day. The last 3 Dr Visits my blood work shows I have low glucose levels. I have no symptoms from the low glucose. My Oncologists wants me to see an Endocrine specialist. I was wondering if this may be a side effect of Jakafi. Has anyone had any experience

Fasting Insulin.
The latest Life Extension magazine has a lead article on fasting insulin. With insulin resistance, the pancreas produces increased amounts of insulin (as long as the beta cells hold out.) This is refected in fasting insulin levels. Glucose and A1c may look normal when the above strategy is working

Blood sugar increase
I discovered that my glucose level went up from 6.7 mmol/L in Nov 2022 up to 9.1 mmol/L now. At the same time, but Creatinine went down from 47 umol/L to 39. My doctor said I should reduce Prograf from 1mg morning and 1mg evening to 1mg morning and 0.5mg evening. And also that I should reduce my Prednisolone

I have a diagnosis and it's not hashimotos, it's acromegaly
This is not likely to help many people but it might help the odd one with puzzling symptoms. I had an enlarged right thyroid gland and low potassium two years ago. This gradually developed into all sorts of other symptoms, tingling in hands and feet, incidental arthritis found, muscle aches in back,

Diverticulosis, ER Trip, Phone call with Rheumy
After my phone appointment with Rheumy on May 2, I stood up and completely urinated myself, without sensation (like water breaking). She wanted me to go into ER or Walk-in Clinic about the continuing dull pain in my left side. During the night same happened with the peeing myself (no sensation to go)

Clinical biomarker-based biological aging and risk of cancer in the UK Biobank
A largely Swedish study using UK data [1]. The only thing that experts agree on concerning the causes of PCA, is that risk increases with chronicological age. The new study used three different calculations of "biological" age, expecting to get a better age measure for the risk of various cancers.
