Face to Face Rheumatology Visit yesterday
I just thought I'd share my experience yesterday. I'd had a phone call with him in June and from that he ordered lots of blood tests, a chest x-ray. chest CT scan, abdo CT scan and dexascan. He stepped in the room (only just - stood in the doorway as if he wasn't staying) and introduced himself then

Iron blood test
I've ordered a full iron panel test from medichecks, but just wondering presumably I should stop my b vitamin complex a week ahead, but what about my iron supplements? Should I stop these as with any thyroid test?

Lung Conditions
Hi I've had a chronic cough for as long as I can remember but in April this year I started getting blood in my phlegm when I got up in the morning. I have never been a big drinker of water but after looking at some information on the internet, I realised I could be suffering from dehydration so started

Gastro intestinal issues
Have any of you experienced Gastro issues with Docetaxel. My husband feels so bloated, feels like he’s not emptying out all the way, not passing gas. His Oncologist told him try gas x and miralax. He still feels very uncomfortable. Thought If any of you have had this maybe you would have some suggestions

3rd Aortic valve replacement
Thankyou so much to all of you that have replied to my first post. I have been poorly for a while, I thought I had a chest infection, as my lungs are pretty rubbish as well as my heart. I had an Echo done a while back and the report from it came through over the weekend. If anyone can help me translate

Living La Vida Loca...Cancer/Chemo/Banana Trees & Miracles
well....(deep subject)... my PSA has gone up (again) and is now ALMOST 1000. It's 980.0 My platelets having dropped to 6,000. I was prepared to argue with my oncologist about doing the chemo (Jevtana) that she has me scheduled for again on Thursday...but, alas... there was no argument. She concurred

Methotrexate
Just had my appointment with the Rheumatologist, he was concerned that I am coming up to 3 years on Steroids (Dec) and wants me to take Methotrexate instead and wean off the steroids. Not sure whether I feel good or bad about it as I don't know anything about it. I have come away with a booklet and

Test for intrinsic factor antibodies - when to do?
Quick questions, I hope! My doctor has agreed to this test but said we should wait until after 4 weeks after a third monthly injection of b12. I don't really see the point in waiting, because if it confirms a Pernicious Anemia diagnosis, that would hopefully mean I could start on more frequent loading

B12 levels are high but.......
Hi - I’m new to this, but will try to write my query. Got diagnosed with PA by a gastroenterologist about 6 years ago ( I don’t have the intrinsic factor) B12 injections every 3 months until about 3 years ago, then down to every 2 months. But at 6 weeks, I go downhill fast. This past year, it’s been

Adding good news
Hi all. I thought I would pop in and share some good news. I have refused to take all the drugs that have been offered to me. But even experimentation with lower levels of hydrocodone and OxyContin have been uncomfortable enough that I refused to go in the opioid direction. What has worked for me and

Enough is enough!
yesterday, after my tough weekend with breathlessness, my partner went home and said he would see me this weekend. He could only just have arrived home when I almost passed out cleaning my car, fell against the side, went inside as was heaving for breath and was then was very sick. This is a crisis

Minoca and still have chest pains
Newbie here. I had a MINOCO at the end of July, I had been getting chests pains for months. Nothing showed up except for troponin raised levels. My blood pressure is always low, I am not overweight, I don't smoke or drink, so I'm not on any medication, except for a 10mg statin, which I have just stopped

How long before an oral B12 tablet affects your Active/Serum B12 level?
Assuming for a moment that you don't have PA, and that you can successfully absorb oral B12 tablets like a healthy person (who may just have a very poor diet): 1) How long does it take an oral B12 tablet to be absorbed, such that it raises an Active B12 blood test result (or failing that, a Serum B12

Still breathless
Last February I finished my second line of chemo and soon after developed debilitating breathlessness. It is really affecting my life, but it seems there is nothing I can do about it. My haemoglobin is 99 which is not excessively low, I have had a chest X ray, ECG, CT of thorax, abdomen and pelvis and

Hello, I’m new here
About 7-8 years ago I was diagnosed with tachycardia and prescribed Verapamil. I have since had no follow-ups, apart from one visit to my GP about three years ago when I felt the tachycardia was getting worse, and was told to take one extra tablet a day. Up until 28.08.21 I continued taking this dosage

Low BMI, fatigue, and PA?
Hi again, everyone — It’s been almost a year since I received a positive IFAB test and started both B12 and iron supplementation. Since then, I’ve gone from being a very active and competitive runner (30-45 miles per week, though admittedly that became impossible shortly before my diagnosis) to being
