GP appointment and blood tests - will recent steroid injection skew results?
Afternoon everyone, I had a GP appointment yesterday to discuss my symptoms. Went through everything that has happened since the summer. She sent me for blood tests today which included CRP, ESR, Rheumatoid factor and various other tests relating to autoimmune conditions. She insisted I call back for

Slow Heart Rate
Does anyone else get episodes when their heart rate goes very low? I’m in AF the whole time and the only medication I’m on is propranolol. Since being AF my heart rate has increased but not massively and I tend to be around 80bpm. As far as I can tell my heart rate never goes above 100 unless with

rheumatoid arthritis
Hi I’m Lynne. I’ve had Rheumatoid Arthritis for around 5 years. I’m on (tocilizumab) and Methotrexate injections once a week plus 10 mg steroids . I’ve had lots of falls because of my knee giving way. I’m trying to build up my muscles but finding this difficult because I’ve got a tear in shoulder from

Hemorrhoids from higher cholesterol
I thought I'd ask if this is common for other people. I suspect my Hemorrhoids have got quite bad as a result of slightly underactive thyroid. My cholesterol is mildly high - 5.7 when it should be below 5. Also I have gilberts syndrome which is high bilirubin. When I fasted or went more than 6 hrs without

Not impressed
Decided to go through my medical notes such as they are, and blood tests again now I'm more sensible again. All hospital consultations are missed off and consequently diagnoses. Oh, and there is a gp consultation noted that never took place. Basically my notes appear to be a mess. What really

Heart Rate Monitors
This may be a silly question but I'm a little confused. Whenever I see a doctor I'm often asked if I have a heart rate monitor and a blood pressure machine that can deal with AF. My BP machine can't detect AF but seems to be accurate otherwise when compared to readings at my GP. When it comes to heart

Weight problems and insensitive people
I've been so self conscious since gaining so much weight from my underactive thyroid that I'm basically a hermit in my own home, I barely go outdoors, for fear of being called up on my weight gain, or "looking well". Today I decided to go outdoors only to bump into an old acquaintance who couldn't resist

Chris Kamara and Things Thyroid
I found this interesting as he supported the thyroid care petition, and before that I didn’t even realise that he also had a thyroid problem. I remember also wondering myself about Alzheimers the other year as I didn’t know what was happening to me. https://amp.theguardian.com/football/2023/nov/04

Some good news at last.
Some good news at last. Saw EP for 6 week follow up, 2 weeks ago, reduced Bisoprolol to 1.25mg but continue with heart failure meds and booked echocardiogram which I had yesterday. Sonographer was lovely, very chatty, I had my previous report from Late January 24 with me, Ejection Fraction 28%, severe

Discoid lupus
Hi. I have just got results of biopsy. I have discoid lupus, I have also had full blood checks and came back clear. Every where I read says discoid lupus only affects the skin. But I have been experiencing joint pain pretty much every part of my body where there's joints, stiffness, extreme fatigue.

MOST RECENT PSA and TESTOSTERONE TEST
My PSA and testosterone test results have been PSA .01 and T 11 since July of 2022. I had my quarterly test done yesterday and my PSA is at .02 and T is at 21.5. They are still undetectable, but not sure what caused the rise. I've only been on Firmagon for 1 year and 4 months so I hope it doesn't

1st question re cardioversion
Hello everyone - I'm 68 and have had AF for about 2 years. Apart from a brief conversation re cardioversion and ablation when I was 1st diagnosed, none of the cardiologists I have seen have suggested that I should have cardioversion. I am currently taking 10mg of Bisoprolol a day in two 5mg tablets,

Do you know the difference between a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and a heart attack?
Would you be able to tell the difference between a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) and a Heart Attack? If so, would you know what to do? A sudden cardiac arrest is often misunderstood to be the same as a heart attack.
They are not the same.
They are both an emergency situation. To learn more

Started simple stretching today.

Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)

Worried
I am now extremely worried about having had a ct scan with contrast. I knew nothing about the contrast as I was just feeling very ill at the time. I am now petrified that this is going to cause me all sorts of problems with my hypothyroidism. I've not been feeling great with various issues going on with
