Methotrexate
Hi everyone. I wanted to ask if anyone who has GCA and where tapering pred has not worked, has been put on Methotrexate? I am about to go onto 7.5 mgs weekly with my 40 mgs of pred. I have read the side effects of this steroid sparing drug and just wanted to hear other’s experiences on Methotrexate.

Anti VEGF injection - cloudy vision
Hi all, I had my first anti VEGF injection yesterday and I was wondering if it is normal that your vision becomes blurry after the injection and how long it last for? Thanks in advance

Association Between Dihydrotestosterone and Long-Term Risk for PCa Mortality
New study below [1]. To skip the preamble, read below "***". Ever since Huggins discovered that castration offered palliation for men with PCa, albeit temporary, there has been a belief that testosterone [T[ acts like gasoline on a fire. A number of study papers have appeared over the past 15 years

B12 injections stopped by GP.
My GP has stopped my B12 injections altogether and is saying it has nothing to do with the pandemic, that this was going to happen anyway. I was having injections every 8 weeks, due to pernicious anaemia. Intrinsic factor antibody test was positive when diagnosed 2 and a half years ago. Being told that

Unsure about specialist
I had a telephone consultation 1 week ago with my CLL doctor regarding my recent blood tests. I have only previously seen her twice face to face. I was diagnosed 8th Jan this year stage A watch and wait. She said there had been no real change and she would send the results to me plus forms for next blood

Some progress, I think... ? 🤔 But having wobbles, struggling on lockdown now 🙄
Evening all, Thank you to everyone who kindly responded to my last post. A ittle update... Spoke with my GP surgery as I was feeling a little run down and struggling to sleep which was having such a negative impact on me. I thought it possibly was side effects of medication so I was changed onto something

B12 injections
Hi, I take B12 injections for B12 deficiency symptoms which did go away after being given the shot. I am negative for intrinsic factor antibodies. I also take folic acid 5mg which has just been prescribed to me for folate deficiency. The folate was even deficient years before the B12 injections were

Low iron levels
Have been prescribed ferrous fumarate as my iron levels are low which may be causing my breathlessness. I have had ECG and xray etc and they are ok. Wondered if anyone else has had this problem and how long these tablets take to work.

First one came in at 325 with sporadic sublingual use of cyano 2500 mcg. I stopped the supplement and ate heavily carnivore for five weeks and next test was

Blood test advice, specifically Iron

Feeling awful update
Well my Rheumatologist called and let me know that he wanted me to go ahead increase my imuran to 100mg a day. Also he wants me to get a PFT as soon as they open up elective testing for the shortness of breath. Since I’m not sick and have no fever it’s not emergent. I am going also for a chest X-ray

Really struggling.
Hiya I wonder if any one could help me? I'm at my wits end and don't know where else to turn. I'm a 34 year old female and have always gotten out of breath easily, but just put it down to me being a bit overweight. Anyway January the 7th I was awoken by by heart pounding out of my chest and shortness
