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

rheumatoid arthritis
It’s been called arthritis but it’s not in joints but it’s a pain around my chest and back. X-ray and Ct scan have not reveal anything. GP says let’s try to control the pain first

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.

I’m one of the 20%
20% of autoimmune thyroid patients never have high thyroid antibodies and ultrasound scan of thyroid can get diagnosis. What would show up on the ultrasound scan to indicate hypothyroidism

PSA rise
I have been undetectable for about 2 years. On Dec 6 my PSA was 0.04 then on March 19 it was 0.21 so this indicates a rise in Mets. Is this too low for a scan? What should be the next steps?

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

PSA rise due to physical activity
My PSA has been rising slowly.. 4-5 points in 3 months. Until January when it went from 29 to 43 in one month. By end of February it was still at 43. I feel fine! Here is a quote from the National Library of Medicine: “Physical activity releases prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from the prostate

Concern about having more radiation to prostate after 43 external beam treatments 15 years ago
15 years ago my husband had 43 radiation treatments after PSA reached 50 & his 3rd biopsy showed 1 core to have cancer., Gleason was 3-3. He has had Lupron injections since then. He was on 250mg of Zytiga with food and 5 mg Prednisone for 3 years until a year ago because PSA was creeping up & he was

Meeting with our oncologist for castrate resistance metastatic prostate cancer
We met with my Dad's MO yesterday. (Diagnosed 10/22 with advanced metastatic cancer, became castrate resistant about a year ago.) He shared that the Xtandi is still blocking some cancer growth, but not all of it. His PSA is 2.8 (currently doubling every four weeks.) His PetScan shows some growth (
