Subglottic Stenosis: positive P ANCA screen, Wegeners / GPA Diagnotic indicators, crusty nose, cyclophosphamide.
I've had 4 surgeries in 18 months for subglottic stenosis, a narrowing of the airway caused by chronic inflammation, though no definite cause has been identified. Lots of tests are negative for Vasculitis, apart from the P ANCA screen which has been positive several times. The more specific test for

Undiagnosed Health Problems
Hi, I posted this on the diabetes community and someone suggested to post up here. I'm just hoping for some advice on my health problems. I’m a 26 year old female who has just moved to Leeds for a new job. I’ve had health problems for about 6-7 years and around three years ago I was sent for a lot

After reading the post by Steve101 on this subject a month ago, I was so intrigued that I decided to seek a medical opinion. Like many people who have had an oesophagectomy, I sometimes suffer from fatigue and a general lack of energy. I forwarded the post to the Chairman of our local Upper GI Network

Positive parietal cell antibody
After eventually seeing a neurologist with regard to my tingling limbs, I have today received a copy of a letter he sent to my GP. He says that the MRI scan was normal, so pleased about that. However, he then says, quote: "I note she as a positive parietal cell antibody and that some provisional blood

PA related Gastric issues?
I was diagnosed with PA about 4 yrs ago, after almost a decade of complaining to many docs about being exhausted all the time. I'm 49, Canadian. I give myself subcutaneous injections once a week. My doc wants me to cut back because my elves are 'high' but any less and I'm tired again. Today I had a

Something Else to put up with
Just been to the GPs for the result of my Dexa scan and yes I now have osteoporosis, due to having to take PPIs on a long term basis. Given tablets that I take once a week and not to sit or lie down for 30 minutes after taking. One of the problems that it could cause is ulceration of the gullet.

GERD and it's consequences
This allows us to perform a cervical oesophago-
gastrostomy
. A right thoracotomy is performed first. This allows mobilisation and dissection of the oesophagus, division of the azygous vein and surrounding lymph nodes, ligation of the thoracic duct and a mediastinal lymphadenectomy (figure 5).

Still frustrated after Gadtroscope
After vomiting black tar and passing it in the Summer I was given an emergency Gastroscopy which found I had lots of polyps. For months all I could eat was yogurt and Ready Break.

Confused - can I still have coeliacs
I have had lots of gastrointestinal symptoms for many years and also have neurological problems. I had a positive blood test for coeliacs at the end of October and I had a gastroscopy today. The report says that my upper GI tract looks normal and 4 biopsies were taken. If I have coeliacs would my GI

Esophageal stricture
Hi all, I'm about to have a gastroscopy to determine what has caused the narrowing of my oesophagus. Apparently, this can be caused by acid reflux. Has anyone else, with coeliac disease, found they had this problem? My voice is affected, too; it breaks when I am speaking or singing. Thanks for any help
