Raised Creatinine in urine
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in January and am now down to 4.5mg prednisolone. Having piled on the pounds at first I have been on a low carb diet since March. I do eat quite a bit of meat and a recent urine dip stick test showed raised creatinine. Could this be caused by high protein/low carb

Does anyone have any insight on how or if V +O treatment affects insulin sensitivity?
My husband is on V+O treatment, on cycle 7, he also is type 2 diabetic. Ever since starting treatment, he has had to add fast-acting insulin after meals to his regimen. We attributed this to the steroids given during O infusions, but those are now in the past, and he is not able to reduce his A1C and

Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

Any tips on raising HDL please? Thanks
Hi Vegan for almost 30 years now, age 52. Latest bloods. Total cholesterol 2.6 (<5) LDL 1.6 (<4) HDL 0.9 (>1.0) Triglycerides 0.6 (<1.8) Non HDL 2.25 Cholesterol/HDL ratio 3.0 (<5) So, all markers are ok except for HDL. I’ve read that vegans tend to have low HDL. Any tips to raise this please

"Honeymoon phase" in Hypothyroidism?
After a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes (an autoimmune condition), there is often a “honeymoon phase” where a small percentage of the pancreatic beta cells continue to produce insulin for a period lasting from a few weeks, several months, to as much as 1-2 years. This honeymoon period continues until the

Had the 6 month check up consult with my consultant yesterday and liver wise all seems stable CP A meld 6 No too happy with him though. Luckily I asked for a print out of my blood results and when I got home I noticed a few were "off" He did not mention those but I took the result form to my GP today

Can the effects of Metformin, for diabetes 2, cause irregular urinary flow effects akin to that of Prostate Cancer side effects?
I have both Diabetes 2 from March 2020, when started taking Metformin, and Prostate Cancer, June 2022. I have had urinary flow symptoms from March 2020, seem to have worsened, could that be indirectly be a side effect of the Metformin?

EMG test in hands and neck
I just had this done and now I have a lump in the back of my neck. I was so anxious about the test I don't remember what the doctor said about it. Any idea what, if anything I should do?

4th time lucky: an interesting appointment
This might not make a lot of sense to anyone who didn't see my last post about angular cheilitis, but if you are interested, have a look (photo attached). After three cancellations, I finally got to see my Oral medicine consultant. At first, I saw a junior that I'd never met before - and felt that

Gestational Diabetes (GD)
I've just been diagnosed with GD, it's my first pregnancy (34 weeks) and I'm so scared and worried. I'm ready to work with the midwives and dietitians but I'm also worried about my baby. Anyone with experience in this regard? How did it go for you?

peripheral neuropathy causes!
How do we know which disease is causing it? To cut a long story short , I have been seen by a neurologist to investigate the peripheral neuropathy from my diagnosis of pernicious anaemia. He ordered a brain and neck MRI and blood tests and I got the results today . I have severe stenosis of my cervical
