Really constipated
I have lately been going 4-5 days without a BM. Today is day 5. My wife wanted to go to the beach, so I took her. Around 1pm I told her I needed to get back to our unit to take care of business. She knows it's day 5. I tried to dissuade her, but she insisted on coming back. I took a TBSP of castor oil

Calcified Lymph Node or Granuloma
I had a sinus infection a week ago and began a course of antibiotics. I am now on a stronger course due to it moving into my lungs. My doctor ordered a chest x-ray. It showed a calcification in the left helium of my lung. They classified it as a calcified lymph node or calcified granuloma. Has anyone

GCA worries
Hi. I’ve been hiding in the wings here for a while, gleaning information. My GP has now been treating me for PMR and, according to her Temporal arteritis/GCA symptoms for about 3 weeks now but I’ve had symptoms on and off for some time. I’m almost 50 and have always been healthy apart from having Sjogren

Extreme rapid weight loss
Ok so husband has gone from 203 on November 20th to 182 this morning. When he hit 183.5 yesterday I insisted we go to ER. They have him a bag of fluids. Labs actually didn’t look to wonky so they sent him home 3 pounds up from the fluids but was even lower this morning. Clearly he can’t lose 1-2 pounds

Intrinsic factor test reliability
Would one of you very knowledgeable people please remind me why the anti parietal cell/intrinsic factor test isn’t to be relied upon please. I’m trying to prepare for tomorrow’s fight with GP. Thank you.

New member, question about iron and rls
Hello, hope someone can help me, I've been given ferrous sulfate tablets 200mg three times a day as I have rls symptoms and a ferritin level of 27. I was just wondering how long it takes on these tablets for ferritin levels to show any improvement and to get to the recommended level needed to improve

Pneumonia follow up test
Hi everyone, I’m new here so bear with me please. I was admitted to hospital about 10 days ago with Pneumonia, I was told it was fairly severe. I’d been feeling quite ill for almost 2 weeks before hand, which I assumed was flu. I’d seen my gp who prescribed antibiotics for a chest infection, with no

MTX + Adalimumab + IM depomedrone Anyone had similar?
Just need to talk with someone that is going through similar arthritis experience really.

Flu
Here goes!I have severe COPD and I had a flu jab approx. 1 month ago. About 10 days after that I felt I was going down with an infection and I used my rescue pack - Amoxycillin and Preds. I felt functional, although poorly, whilst taking the steroids but the day I finished them was devastating. I could

Please I need help with my sister's chest pains. What do we do?
Hi, my 13 year old sister was diagnosed with hypertension in September. She used some antihypertensives and spent 2 weeks in the hospital and she got better. She was also advised to start working out because she's morbidly obesed for her age (119kg). She did as the doctors said but one time she started

Advice needed please
Hi, I have been experiencing various problems over the years but the last couple of months I seem to have crashed. I tested positive for Parietal cell and Intrinsic Factor antibodies about 5 years ago but I didn't think too much about it at the time and my GP dismissed it as not important. I suffer from

Can't get definitive diagnosis
After clean scans for 2 years, I began to feel ill in September and was diagnosed with pneumonia. I went through a short round of antibiotics and had a chest X-ray which showed a mass in the right lower lobe. I was sent to my pulmonologist who immediately did a bronchoscopy. I was then placed on a 5

Help with a mystery needed
In August I went went to a neurologist who tested my b12 levels because of neurological symptoms. I requested the test because in 2012 when I was trying to get pregnant a naturopathic dr found that my b12 levels were 350... at the time I had no symptoms. I remember her talking about intrinsic factor
