Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Australian research - possible cure?
I don’t like raising false hope among our community about ‘cures’ toted in the media, but I found this article interesting. It’s about the T-cells, which many of us already know is involved in autoimmune activity: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast-episode/australian-researchers-develop-world-first-method-of-treating-lupus

Apple watch and Kardia questions
I saw my cardiologist yesterday and we have agree although no AF yet (maybe A flutter) on 24hr ECG getting a watch and maybe a kardia is a good idea. I am planning to buy the watch and the local apple shop ( Edinburgh UK) and wanted to ask a few questions before hand. Ive read some on what the watch

hi, I had my first Cardioversion at St Richards Chichester on 11th March. (First diagnosed early January but probably been in AF since Sept) It worked initially but reverted to AF very shortly after.

midwife prescribed aspirin due to history of Graves’ disease while pregnant.
I didn’t get a good explanation and it’s worrying me and she only told me I should take it as I’ve had
graves
before. I had
Graves
’
disease
and got a thyroidectomy last year and I’m currently on levothyroxine. Is the reason I’m being prescribed aspirin to prevent preeclampsia?

weight loss wehovy and AF medication

Finally passed a kt/v test
Ok, so after 11 months, I finally passed my kt/v test with a score of 1.82, which my nurse said is passing for PD patients. Initially I was on 8 hours, 4 exchanges of 1800ml per night. When I failed the first test, then they moved me to 2000ml per exchange, then 10 hours of 5 exchanges of 2000ml, then

Can Nubeqa (Darolutamide) be used instead of normal ADT drugs for localized PCa?
Hi all. Australia has just given the green light to lower the cost of this so-called wonder drug from a staggering $40K (AUD) to a low $30. It seems that this drug has fewer side effects than the usual ADT drugs and from what I can gather does a pretty good job of preventing the growth and spread
