Recent fibroscan
Hi. I drink very rarely. Following pneumonia in Jan 24, I had a series of blood tests and a fibroscan. My ELF score was 9.86. I have been told that my fibroscan score is 49.6 kpa, which indicates cirrhosis. I'm having an utrasound and endoscopy soon. During the fibroscan, I was told that my ribs were

Endoscopy
I would like to thank you all for your advice and for sharing your experiences of having an endoscopy. I had this done on Tuesday and although a rather strange experience, the first one done! Reading and re-reading your experiences prior this helped me enormously. Thank you all so much x

Why taking anti-inflammatories including Pred could lead to a stomach ulcer
Dr Mark Porter who is a working GP writes most weeks in The Times. The link to today's article is below because he mentions steroids as well. I hope it opens. If it doesn't I can cut a paste the parts of interest. https://www.thetimes.com/article/184977ba-beb6-4db5-ad10-62e8fbb57add?shareToken=caa43823ee68fa182865e92faa5502b2

just diagnosed with cirrhosis
I was just diagnosed with cirrhosis 6 weeks ago. My fibroscan score was 14.1 The endoscopy , blood tests and ultrasound did not show bad results. I started getting these aches in my liver area after I had the fibroscan. Is this normal. Im afraid it started something.

Upper left pain …gastro update
Just a quick update which hopefully helps others. I’ve just had an upper endoscopy and this showed mild gastritis. I’m very fortunate to have a great NHS doctor who listened to my concerns and supported me gaining assurances that there is nothing seriously wrong. I’ve still got the upper left quarter

Should I be concerned, or not?
HiI was referred to Hepatology by Haemotology in January as my ferritin levels were fluctuating. I had an ultrasound and a fibroscan and eventually saw the consultant in late May. He was very reassuring, told me my liver is "mildly fatty, has some inflammation, is relatively stiff with some scarring

A 4 Year Journey
I had a Prostatectomy in July 2020. My PSA was a 5.0 and my Gleason was 3+4. Cancer did not penetrate outer wall of gland. Decipher score was 64. Did Kegels and PT for incontinence....nothing helped and today still very much incontinent. In May 2022 my PSA began to steadily rise from undetectable for

Anyone have late onset msa slow progression with ataxia and autonomic disorder?
My symptoms started around 2015. First loss of proprioception and internal shaking, head bobbing, not ET or Parkinson type. Then came digestive, swallowing and gastroparesis with very tight mid body pain after eating. Ataxia and autonomic dysfunction and ocular motor problems, specifically slow saccades

Varying results on FIT tests
I have had IBS for decades so thought I had just been having a bad flare up of that for the past month. Stools were very dark but no visible red blood. I took a home FIT test one day to make myself feel better (it didn’t) and it quickly came up positive. Hoping it was faulty test, I repeated the next

low TSH
I have autoimmune thyroid disease diagnosed 23yrs ago and have been on the hypothyroid treadmill since. Yet again GP wants to reduce my levothyroxine and liothyronine as my TSH is 0.12. this happens regularly and my TSH never changes. Many years ago an ultrasound of my thyroid showed it was “shrivelled

Does endoscopy replace colonoscopy?
Hello beautiful PA fam, I wanted to know if any of you guys with PA also have gastritis from it and therefore have to get upper endoscopy and colonoscopy periodically. The reason I'm asking, my doctor did a upper endoscopy on me and told me I didn't need a colonoscopy for the next 10 years and it
