Advice on Iron Supplements Please
My GP has agreed that I should have a blood test to check my iron levels but in the meantime has suggested that I should take an iron supplement 2-3 times a day. Based on previous advice seen on this forum, this seems excessive so I am thinking that I will just take gentle iron once a day as shown on

My MSK Precise / SBRT Journey -- Simulation
I had my simulation procedure at MSK in NYC yesterday. Overall, it was a long day, but much of it was waiting in between the phases of the process. I had prepped in the morning with the Citrucel, Gas-X tabs, and saline enema, so when I arrived I was ready to roll. The first part involved the CT scan

HU & breathlessness
I’ve been on HU for 7!years and I noticed after about 9 months I was getting very slightly breathless. However, 7 years down the line I am extremely breathless . Walking from room to room I am slightly breathing heavy. Going upstairs I am very breathless and also just plain walking I get breathless.

Worries over new drug treatment : Infliximab
Experience requests please. Due to continuing inflammation, my RA has suggested that I stay on low dose Prednisolone (5mg) and MTX injections (15mg) but also start receiving infusions every 8weeks of Infliximab. The side effects I read on this drug seem worse than my regular aches and pains and I’m

Update ... flare has nicely abated...not on methotrexate YET! what do I do when medical insurance stops my cover for PMR?
Sorry for long post ... I took jinasc's advice and went up to 15mg Pred (rather than 12.5 for 2 weeks suggested by rheumie) for 5 days, then dropped by 10% to 13.5 for 5 days and now on 13 which has stopped the pain. Told rheumie about my decision as 12.5mg didn't do the trick. He was keen for me

Vaccine induced myocarditis
Hi! I’m new here and wanted to share my daughter’s story, get support, and see what’s helping everyone. My 20 year old daughter started having chest pain 24 hours after her second Moderna. She had it on September 10th. She woke the morning after with fever, body aches, and headache. She told me that

Mysterious chest pain
Hoping for someone experiencing similar issues. I have had excruciating upper left chest pain for over 5 weeks. My Gp has sent me to a and e twice because the symptoms match a heart attack. ECG bloods and chest X-ray all normal. Diagnosed first with Costochondritis and then Bornholm disease. No painkillers

POTs?
I was wondering if anyone has experience with this? I was ill with a virus back at the start of October. I have been off work sick since then with really bad fatigue that I can’t shift and also a fast heart rate and lightheadedness whenever I stand up or do any physical exertion. I saw my doctor in person

Natural remedies and food supplements
This is mainly a personal view of the usefulness of these for RLS, but is based on some reading. I hope it is a balanced view. Hopefully it offers some guidance for when you're choosing remedies. The 3 main things you should find out about when choosing a remedy. 1) EFFECTIVENESS : does it actually

Blood Test Results - Comments on levels please
Well I got my blood iron levels back today and I need a little help in understanding where they stand. 1. Serum Ferritin is 376ug/l. I believe this is acceptable as it seems the level for RLS should be above 250. 2. Serum Transferrin is 1.79 g/L. The Lab indicated that the normal range was 2-4. 3. Serum

Interesting summary of PA on nhs website
I read the following paragraph to a nutritionist and I think they didnt believe it. I have PA but also suspected chronic pancreatitis in spite of healthy pancreas in scans, no pain, bloating or weight change. I want to supplement with acid in a healthy way with their advice. They've said - do not take

Low folate - what causes it and what does it affect?
Hello, I recently had some private blood tests and my folate level was low: Vit D: 100 nmol/L (50 - 175) Folate (serum): 9.15 nmol/L (8.83 - 60.8) Ferritin: 100 ug/L (13 - 150) Active B12: 131 pmol/L (37.5 - 188) I was surprised with the low folate because my diet includes plenty of folate-rich foods

Anaemia problems ?
Pooh bear (the wife) has been having a very rough time of it recently. Surgery to rebuild her hip following too many steroids, breathing problems and sepsis which thankfully was caught early. A constant problem she seems to have is Anaemia, particularly after a bad flare. Her haemoglobin count falls

Updates/Questions
Just had my 6 month check- anxious for scan in a few weeks! I have taken a low dose Actos for the last 6 months and am anxious to see if my Nash score comes down. My doctor mentioned a new diabetic drug that is out that is supposed to work better on fatty liver than the Actos, but I can’t remember
