PMR relapse?
I would be grateful for some advice! I was diagnosed with PMR end of 2022. I was put on 15 mg Prednisolone and started tapering around 2 months in. I stopped Pred December 23! Around 10 weeks ago started waking in early hours in bad pain chiefly in shoulders and hips but also shooting pains in limbs

Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score mean under nhs?
I see this on record Johns Hopkins adjusted clinical groups system score of ACG 5. What does it mean how does it impact me in any way.? I have started asking for blood tests and my GP has not been happy about it. Surgery has never been keen to blood tests though this seems to have popped up on record

Time between Afib trigger & episode
Hi all, I've very recently been diagnosed with Afib (thanks, Apple Watch for highlighting the problem I'd never heard of) and have been to the GP/hospital since February to get a proper diagnosis. So far all my results are showing normal (blood pressure, Echo, blood tests, that sort of thing). ECG did

Didn't leave the house, almost all the winter in bed. Horrible pain, itching that hurts, shaking, and on and on...Till began to slur words, chock on

My question is about the best way of getting a diagnosis of scleroderma or of discounting it?
I was diagnosed recently with Raynaud's disease which can get quite painful, but is manageable. I have GORD and a small hiatus hernia. However I do get abdominal pain and have asthma exacerbated by allergies. I have just had a CT scan and was told the pain is probably musco-skeletal, plus I have an atrophied

PMR since July 2018 and down to 1mg. Enter GCA
My Bio is pretty well up to date, until a week ago. Quick summary of things is: I'm ok, vision ok, diagnosed with GCA, and I've gone from 1mg (nearly done...or so I thought) to 60mg. Now on my third day of 60mg and waiting on new bloods I did today and a call from the consultant tomorrow to discuss

Confusing Lab Test Results
I had a recent PMR flare that necessitated my temporarily going up from the 5mg I had tapered down to to a much higher dose. 20mg for 2 weeks, followed by 15mg for one week and then a drop to 10mg, where I have stayed for almost a month before I resume DL’s slow 5 week taper. Fortunately, my increased

Interpreting blood tests
I've been on ADT for 4 months in preparation for RT and then HDR BT. I have localised G8 with an initial PSA of 8.1 Prior to commencing ADT, my PSA inexplicably dropped to 4.94 but then rose to 5.37 within 2 months. Anyway, here are my test results before starting ADT; These are Aussie measurements

Silent Reflux? Is yours scary?
Initially I could just be having a drink of water from a bottle and suddenly spray the water straight back out of my mouth. No warning. No previous symptoms either. After a scan and blood tests that were fine, in a week it stopped. 3 months down the track, the left hand side of tongue and under tongue

B vits
I think I need to start taking b vits again as feeling very foggy brained, apathetic etc. I stopped as ineggus b complex seemed to be exacerbating a pain under my right rib. I stopped taking them and the pain ceased. I tried one tablet again last week and the pain returned. I’ve had a chest x ray and

experiences with seasonal changes?
If you have taken thyroid hormone replacement for some time and your levels are pretty much settled please can you share your experiences with seasonal changes? Do you find you need to reduce/increase your doses seasonally? What signs apart from blood test results indicate this if so?

Positive mitochondrial antibodies m2 but normal liver enzymes
Hi members, just after a bit of advice please. I have hashimoto's and due to blood tests which were requested by my endocrinologist, positive mitochondrial antibodies m2 were found which he says could mean it is primary biliary cholangitis. I went for an ultrasound and I am due to have a consultation

GP App
so I had an echocardiogram in February and they said if I don’t hear anything they will review me in 12 months re my AF with a view to discharging me. This sounded great and I haven’t heard anything. However, I’ve just gone on my GP app tonight to check a blood test and I couldn’t believe my eyes when
