Rheumatoid and throat -update
GP referred me for Gastroscopy which I had yesterday. Relieved there was no sign of any tumours or Barrett’s Oesophagus but inflammation seen in upper stomach. Consultant suggested asking GP to switch me from Omeprazole to a different PPI and not Lansoprazole. Interesting - must do some research! Still

Reflux and persistent dry cough

For years now I have suffered from reflux, at one time I had an hiatus hernia which has gone. Despite being careful with my diet, avoiding things that set it off and eating small meals, I am coughing

Gastroscopy and Colonoscopy for CKD patients
In December my stomach had a reaction to antibiotics. Generally, I feel better, but doctors thought it might be a good idea to have screening tests due to my age, 56. My mother died at the age of 57 due to ulcerative colitis becoming cancer, and so that is another reason. Normally my GFR is around

Encouraged but a little confused about UKELD
Apologies for the long post but I just had a reply to my queries about recent blood tests because I didn't have all the test numbers in my consultant letter to my GP in order to calculate MELD / UKELD. He wrote this which I was mostly encouraged by but also a little puzzled - how is EVERYONE 49 on UKELD
