I may also go down the D mannose route but as that can cause diarrhoea am holding off…….diarrhoea led to a nasty

NHS Targeted Lung Check
Hi folks . . . those smokers or ex smokers on here may be aware of this screening programme currently being rolled out. Apparently the scan can ID a number of incidental issues including Liver Lesions which I believe are not usually related to alcohol consumption. However, might they also detect Fatty

Fenofibrates
Someone asked if Dr. Jones' book mentioned the use of fenofibrates.... yes, it does in several places. This might be a good book to have if you are considering using them. He is the leading expert on PBC. Hope it helps... The subject is discussed in the chapter for 'Treatment of PBC'. Many have been

Graves in couples
hi, I have recently been diagnosed with Graves (I’m 42) and my husband was diagnosed in 2008 (age 29) and relapsed in 2018 (currently in remission). I have discovered that George and Barbara Bush also both had Graves and although the cause was investigated, it was never found why both got it. Their dog

Is a false-positive biopsy possible?

As a result, for the last 13 years, I've had my PSA checked every six months. I typically run a very low PSA, historically .5 or .6. About 18 months ago I noticed that my PSA was

Dose change - feeling AWFUL
As per my previous post, my TSH was over 4 on 50mcg, so I did a week on 62.5mcg and now a few days on 75mcg. I feel terrible. So tired, weak, muscles ache, headaches. I’m still on the Wockhardt brand as it suits me best. I read somewhere this can happen if your cortisol is low. I had low 9am readings

Gods beautiful creations
Last week I was able to ski with a bunch of my grandkids and all my pics were of them. Some days I felt ill but it was so worth it Today I went snowshoeing in a snow storm. What a peaceful serene setting on those snow covered paths nestled in the pines. Even the village where the trail system begins

PMR/GCA and Sjogrens disease
Does anyone have Sjogren’s disease along with PMR/CGA? For months I’ve been struggling with worsening vision in my left eye, and trying to figure out if I was having a flare. The left eye vision is like it was before cataract surgery, worse some times than others, especially after reading. Opthomologist

Hello, any help welcome
Hi all,I've been told I have an underactive thyroid recently after feeling very tired and achy for a few months, and having a blood test. No treatment as yet, seems more tests are to follow. I've become much more tired, a bit weepy ( not like me at all😔). And, horror of horrors, I'm gaining weight
