Fibrotest-actitest panel
3 years ago I was diagnosed with cirrhosis 4 with advanced fatty liver. This was determined by blood test and fibroscan. I went for 2nd opinion, new doctor didn't believe I had cirrhosis so suggested biopsy which showed Stage 1 mild fibrosis with mild fatty liver zone 3. This Doctor also did not believe

5 weeks pregnant with bleeding and cramps
hello, as usual just looking for a little reassurance.. although pretty sure it’s game over for me! For background, I had a chemical pregnancy with my first transfer (starting hcg 60) and so was delighted when my hcg reading was 577 for this FET. I’m now at 5 weeks and had very subtle brown spotting

1mg enteric coated Pred? Efficacy?
Hi , wondering if anyone can throw light on this. Im currently on 8mg enteric coated Pred having reduced from 70 mg back in Jan '23. Seem to be doing OK, so far. In order to make up my 8mg dose I have 1 x 5mg plus 3 x 1mg - all enteric coated. There is some scepticism amongst a few of the NHS docs

Know a good Rheumy in York or EA/London area?
I’m asking for someone who has been sent packing by the private doctor seen on their work’s health plan. 45 year old male, never been ill, with sudden onset hand and feet pain, shoulders, neck and backs of knees with tinnitus on January after Covid. Worse in the morning, occasionally waking him up,

Steroid sparing - or maybe not?
I'd be very grateful for any advice or experience that others can share about the decision to embark on steroid sparing with methotrexate. This has just been recommended by my rheumatology nurse and, following her explanation of the process I have some concerns. I started GCA headaches in January 2022

Abnormal Nrbc and liver platlet results
Hi, I've been on both methotrexate 20mg and hydrochloride 200mg for years now and bar the odd flare up, they have been controlling my RA but my last blood test came back with this so I'm worried that it is now effecting my liver or worse. Anybody had these kind of results before?

How long do reserves last?
I stopped self injecting Dec2021 as my level was way over the top score in my blood test. I was OK until the last few months. Does this mean my reserves are used up, as I have been sleeping 12 hours a night and my feet have got more numb. My level was OK last year. I haven't been tested for B12 since

Can anyone explain
Hi,On Tuesday of this week I was out with my husband having a relaxing drive to the beach. I began to feel uncomfortable. I had a pain in the middle of my stomach above my belly button. My ribcage felt like it was being crushed. I had to undo my bra to try and relieve some of the pressure. We stopped

Cardiac surgery meds bring PSA down?
My PSA was 1.6 on January 8 of this year. On January 31st I had successful open-heart surgery to repair a heart valve. On March 7th, my next blood test, my PSA had dropped to .5. Has anyone here heard that this sort of drop after surgery is normal? Perhaps there are meds used at that time that could

Mental Health or Thyroid issues. ?
Hi ... I was taking 125mcg Levothyroxine for many years but when I had a Heart Attack my Cardiologist suggested that my dose might be too much, I was very reluctant to lower the dose as I had been coping with life ''just fine''. I remember ''one GP'' telling me I had classic sub clinical hypothyroidism
