Labs weren’t too bad, but will be curious to see what they say. Wbcs 1.9, hct 39.5, PLT 176, neutrophils 1.1, lymphocytes 0.6. Alk phos was a little high, but not near double, other liver enzymes were good. I figured it is because my thyroid needs adjusting as it was totally fine in June. But lipids

Pericarditis and high inflammatory markers
Does anyone have experience of pericarditis and very high inflammatory markers? After having a 'small heart attack' I have now developed pericarditis and am finding it almost impossible to tolerate the colchicine that they want me to take for 3 months. Any advice/thoughts?

Scared
Hi, I’m one month post op, Ivor Lewis I spent 9 days in CCD and 5 on the ward. At home now and struggling to eat due to no appetite and not feeling hungry.

Could this be gastritis?
Have you experienced gnawing sensation in the pit of the stomach? The best way to describe the stomach sensation is like you are hungry but you aren't, a gnawing hunger sensation even after you just ate ? Please share your experience. Thank you

BAM, IBS-D. Need a Rant.
Afternoon everyone. Really need to just have a rant today. I've posted loads on here and always received great advice from everyone. Everyone on here really are amazing. Today, I think is just a really bad day, normally I cope ok but today I just feel like it's never going to end. So exhausted and sick

Mtx and pantoprazol?
I really need to take some pantoprazole; however, it seems to not go well with MTX in particular. Before I started MTX (20 mg), I sometimes took pantoprazole 40 mg for 2-3 days to get rid of pain from reflux. It would settle, and I would be fine for a long time. Any experience with pantoprazole while

EC 1mg pred??
I have recently managed to taper to 4mg which means taking all plain tablets. I have had an increase in indigestion/slight heartburn since doing this. I have 3 questions. Is it possible to get 1mg ec? - I'd be willing to pay (if not ridiculous price) If I take some gaviscon (already take 20mg omeprazole

stage 4 endo
hi all, I’m 20 and just been diagnosed with stage 4 endo. My endo specialist has given me a couple of options. Either take norethisterone and see how that goes or surgery for excision. I want a family and he said some women can conceive naturally and others need help. I just wondered what other people

Hunger pain
Does any of you experience hunger pain? Mine is the worst when I don’t eat a lot of calories. I think a healthy person would not have any symptoms eating as much calories as I eat on these “low- calorie” days. I even get very bloated from the hunger.

High platelet count due to iron deficiency anaemia maybe?
Just again when I thought all was going well ! High platelet count from recent blood test shows Platelet count 515 10*9/L Platelet count has been abnormal for some time, but never this high. Not sure whether I should request the ferrous sulphate again, OR could it be PMR flare. I have felt pretty

Cholestyramine
My husband has had explosive diarrhea since mid February. After blood tests, stool samples, colonoscopy, and more stool samples, they are not able to determine what is causing the diarrhea. The doctor has prescribed Cholestyramine. Has anyone had experience with this medication and did it help?

Weaning off Omeprazole
Does anyone have a treatment plan for a successful weaning off Omeprazole please? I want to start this process but am a bit scared as I stopped cold turkey previously and had horrendous issues. I understand that the drug makes the acid producing valve loose which further contributes to the issue causing
