Thyroidectomy
Diagnosed with
Graves
disease
in Sept 2018 and have been taking Carbimazole ever since. My Endo suggests avoiding surgery for a couple of years and revisiting if there is still the need.

High dose Ergocalciferol (Vit. D-2) for Osteoporosis?
Since losing my long time primary doctor last year, I am on my second doctor for advice for osteoporosis. I was reluctant to take Prolia recommended by the first D.O. doctor and the second Internist Doctor recommended 50,000 (I think IU) weekly for a couple of months. I haven't picked up the prescription

I have a question.
Does anyone's rheumatologist order a CRP HS blood test? I heard of CRP, but not this one. Is it solely for heart disease, or something to do with other diseases too like Lupus?? Mine was high.

Diagnosing Arrhythmias
When the heart is beating normally, it is referred to as ‘sinus rhythm’. An extra beat (ectopic beat) can trigger a short circuit, and a fast heartbeat. It can travel down an extra pathway and up the normal conduction system. If this continues, palpitations can result. For more information, please download

Unsure how to proceed after flare continues
I wrote awhile back about having a return of PMR symptoms after successfully (over a year and a half) tapering to 5mg and staying on that dose for two months. The weather had gotten a lot colder here in Seattle and I attributed the flare partly to that. I increased my dose to 10mg for a week and had

Can you have “attacks” when in persistent/constant afib?
If you are in persistent/constant bradycardic (40-60ish bpm) afib can you still have “attacks” of afib? Sort of ad-hoc exasperation of say breathlessness, chest pressure etc. I’m not even sure that question makes any sense… we are still trying to sort out what are “afib symptoms” and what isn’t after

Inflammatory arthritis & pulmonary embolisms?
After years of x-rays on multiple joints (looking for osteoarthritis) & countless blood tests (looking for rheumatoid factor) - all of which returned negative results - I was finally diagnosed with Seronegative Inflammatory Arthritis in January. My Rheumatologist first tried methotrexate and then leflunomide

Sustaining friendships in the 21st century
When I got Parkinsons, I knew that there'd be a few years before I became housebound (and I'm not there yet). When that point was actually reached, I comforted myself with the knowledge that I had many friends, some of whome have admittedly moved away either to far flung place in the UK, or abroad.

The Idea of White Coat Syndrome led to me having many mini strokes.
"White coat syndrome, or white coat hypertension, is the term for when you get a high blood pressure reading in a doctor's office and a normal reading at home. The anxiety of being around doctors in white coats can make your blood pressure rise. Most people don't need treatment if their blood pressure

Compression socks for travel
Hello, wondering if anyone has a good experience with compression socks for long haul travel? I do experience some feet swelling these days during the day which usually goes away with elevation for a brief period of time. I have flights coming up in the 7 to 14 hour range so am thinking that apart

Cardioversion of Atrial Fibrillation (AF)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common rhythm disturbance of the heart which may cause rapid irregular palpitations, chest pain, breathlessness or fatigue. Sometimes it is hardly noticed by the patient. In such cases it is often picked up by routine examination of the pulse listening to the heart or recording

Question about support stockings
Hello. It's been a while with posting. I have been wearing support stockings since last November after arriving home from the hospital, for almost 10 months now, they have always been a struggle, and it's a bit tough to wear shorts with these knee-high's, I usually wear long pants outside to hide them

What is post ablation normal heart rate
I had my ablation last week for a fib which I have been told was a success. I have felt very dizzy with occasional ectopics since but bp has been ok and heart rate between 72 and 78. Then today everything has changed. Lots of ectopics and resting heart rate between 95 and 98. Should I be worried?

high blood pressure
I’ve been in hospital all day today. Woke at 6am with racing heart and ectopics. Took my blood pressure and it was 196/95. I felt really scared and rang 111 and they told me to go into A&E within the hour, so we did. I was diagnosed with severe hypertension and after loads of tests, ECG’s etc, I was
