road to diagnosis
Hi everyone, I don’t know where to start… it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. It all started when I started getting redness and discolouration in both feet. My GP did a blood test and referred me to my rheumatologist for further assessment. My rheumatologist felt that my feet getting red was

cortisol blood test
I’m due a GP blood test at 8:35am today. Can I have a decaf coffee before??? It’s a waste of time test I think as my saliva test showed the only normal one was the morning but that private test wasn’t good enough! Also my DHEA of less than 10 was completely sidetracked by GP. Very little hope this

PSA 9 , age 66 , is there an alternative to biopsy ?
My friend’s PSA went from 5 to 9 in 8 months . He asked me if there is an alternative to biopsy . I told him that there may be something new since I last had a biopsy in 2009.

Pain below right ribcage
I have had multiple CT scans and MRIs and none of them show cirrhosis, but they show fatty liver. I've had a burning pain below my right rib cage for over a month...it hurts bad! My last liver enzyme tests were within range. I have been on a diet since this started and I've lost 18lbs, but still have

24hr Holter
Hi, Recently started back on Bisoprolol for palpitations/PVCs after 7yrs off. I'm on low dose, 1.25mg but they've really calmed down what were pretty uncomfortable symptoms (3 A&E visits in one weekend!) Anyhow, have a holter monitor booked for next week and not sure whether to stop the Bisoprolol or

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55. Since having the stent placed I realised how restricted my body had been and the relief this procedure had given me. I attended rehabilitation classes for

Reducing cholesterol
I’ve been told that because of the stricter diagnostic parameters the NHS now uses for assessing cholesterol levels in the blood, I have very slightly raised cholesterol. I’ve been told I can have statins, which I agreed to take, with much regret, because they are powerful drugs and I’m already taking

Switching from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol - any advice?
Hi, I have been taking Disopyramide (Rhythmodan Retard 250mg) for AF, but have been unable to find any pharmacists with stock for a while now. So the Cardiac Nurse at my Doctor's Surgery has switched me to Bisoprolol. I am about to switch over from the last of my Disopyramide, and start with the Bisoprolol

Delayed Lynparza (Olaparib)Reaction
I started Lynparza (Olaparib) on 5/19 (PSA 172). By 7/5 (+7 weeks ) my PSA was 222 and it was decided to discontinue the drug, get a port, and prepare for chemo. At the first chemo appt on 8/10 (+12 weeks), the blood test showed that my PSA had fallen to 194. The general literature says you evaluate

Are you ready to kick neurotoxins to the curb?
You can start by not eating them and clean up your diet. The next step is to remove neurotoxins from your personal care and cleaning products. Edit: Would you be more motivated to change your lifestyle if you understood how Roundup is used and why it's poison? Roundup kills any actively growing plant

Possible over treatment with Levothyroxine
Hi everyone, I’m new to the site. It was suggested that I make a post following a comment I made replying to another post as I may benefit from some guidance on my current treatment. I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid 9 years ago. I have been treated with Levothyroxine throughout. Since 2020

Overactive Bladder Syndrome
Bit strange to post this here but bear with me please. It seems that many of the med's for OAB have a side effect of high heart rate.

Excessive Nasal Mucous
I have been treated for underactive thyroid for around 30 years. The past decade I keep experiencing what is like very severe cold symptoms on a regular basis.
