high inflammation markers but no pain.
I was on Prednisolone for about 6 years. For the last year I have been on zero with no recurrent symptoms of PMR. I have recently had a number of blood tests as I had been to the doctor complaining about lethargy and tiredness. I remain active, going to the gym 3x a week although struggling somewhat

ANCA vasculitis & kidneys
Recently I developed red rashes (purpura) on my legs/thigh. Examined by a dermatogist as skin vasculitis I treated it with prescription meds and ointment. The rashes are now all gone in a week. But I recently learned that such a red rash "may" indicate ANCA vascultis in the glomeruli as a possible cause

Need more info on related symptoms
On the surface, I seem to be doing very well. Per earlier posts: Gleason 5+4, intraductal, possible perinueral spread, PET scan shows spread to lymph nodes only but as distant as the clavicle. Apparently these clavicle lymph nodes show up very pale on the scan and are too small to biopsy. But, treatment

Alendronic acid and raised Potassium levels
Hi I have been on Alendronic acid for 4 mths now. I have - 3 lumbar spinal osteoporosis but also have chronic kidney deficiency. My past two blood tests are showing raised 5.7 mmols/l and I’m wondering if it’s linked to my Alendronic acid?

Can’t stop worrying!
Hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, I’ve got my blood tests this week to see how bad I am. The thing is I’ve literally never been ill and I’m now thinking I’m going to die due to this diagnosis! I can’t shake the fact that even me changing my diet won’t help me! I hate overthinking

How To Make Melatonin Lotion : A More Efficient Way Of Getting Melatonin Compared To Oral Melatonin And A Surprise Finding

ECG not recording heart blockage
