Addissons disease
Good afternoon. I was diagnosed with Adison's disease in 2022. Prescribed Prednisolone 5 mg. Now I take hydrocortisone tablets 20 mg per day. Fludrocortisone 0.1 mg. Once a year there is an Adrinal crisis, I end up in intensive care... Constant weakness, no vitality, I sleep a lot... I am only 43

Final Pluvicto shot and things OK
I just had my 6th, and final, injection. Feeling well but everyone concerned with kidney function dropping -- hopefully transient and not an on-going trend, on the plus side this is the last time it has to deal with all that radioactive liquid. Chugging water and peeing like a champ! To review:

How to control thirst to avoid Fluid overload
Hi Friends My mother is on Maintenance Haemodialysis thrice a week since 4 months. She is now adjusted to this process. As she lives in the tropical country, in the summer season it will be difficult for her to limit the fluid intake. Can any one advice how to control the thirst to limit fluid intake

always question
Just this morning there was a post about questioning the legitimacy of a survey about itching - and receiving payment for completing it. Some of you reached out to The PBC Foundation (as did I) to just make sure it was 'for real'. I am just as hopeful that when any of you don't feel the care you receive

Time to PSA Nadir is related to progression-free-survival
This graph from Teoh (2014) plots the relationship between Time to PSA Nadir (months) versus Time to Progression (months) (i.e., Progression Free Survival). Cohort: ADT monotherapy (No RP or RT), all metastatic patients, median 74 y.o., GS = 8-10, N=419. A cubic spline curve fit matched the data points

Abiraterone seems to be working
An update on my situation. To review, I now appear to be castrate resistant after about 6 1/2 years of being castrate sensitive. My MO put me on Abiraterone, along the existing Lupron. I had my MO appt and my PSA has fallen from 4.5 to 2 after about 7 weeks on Abi. This is my second iteration with Abi

Cortisol test
Result of morning cortisal test was 131 which is rubbish (range 102-535) and explains why I feel exhausted some days. Have been on 3mg for several weeks. Looks like it’s a Synacthen test next. Thanks PMRpro for the info on that. Is the experience ok anyone out there who’s had one?

PSA showing .014 - concerned?
I had RP 3/22, PSA went up to .095 3 months after. I started Orgovyx on 8/15/22 had radiation Jan & Feb 23 and started Abi 4/23. All my psa's have been 0 since 10/22. Now it is at .014. I see my oncologist next Tuesday but I don't want to wait for his answer. How bad of a sign is this? I'm guessing

Nicotine patches vs gum.
if you’re not aware, I’ve been experimenting with the nicotine patch. I found that it’s too much. I wonder if that why the trial failed. I found a couple pieces of gum, 3-4 a day as needed better. I will soon be off meds. They never really worked that good anyway. Nicotine works just as good if not

Is it just me?
Wondering if anyone else isn't sold on the concept of taking a sledgehammer to the immune system to treat RRMS. I am looking forward to these meds finishing clinical trials: * Vidofludimus calcium [It's both anti-EBV and neuroprotective effect] (Link: https://multiplesclerosisnewstoday.com

b12 liver stores
Hi everyone, Just a quick question for those of us with PA. When we have b12 loading doses I have read this replenishes liver stores. Can anyone tell me does this b12 always successfully make it into the liver stores? I ask because my body does not reflect this. Loading doses did nothing to alleaviate

Ultrasound/Biopsy show cirrhosis, but fibroscan score is 7.4
I’m somewhat perplexed… since my diagnosis I’ve been told I have cirrhosis, because of my biopsy and ultrasound results. A recent fibroscan score was 7.4, which is fibrosis. Although some parts of the fibroscan were as high as 8. Can someone explain this? My dr. was very vague in his explanation. Thank

Magnesium as ozonated magnesium oxides
Hello again. Slow Dragon said that there needs to be 4 hours after T4 or T3 before taking Magnesium. I take magnesium from ozonated magnesium oxides with 3% potassium before bed to help with any constipation that still lingers a little. I asked the company about their product and they said they don't

Horac
In reply to Amanda with a father who refused a triple heart bypass and has type 2 diabetes. I had a triple heart bypass in 2017 3 months after my wife died.. I do wonder if my wife dying of a brain tumour brought it on. It was not good as 12 months later I had sternal dehiscence and a epigastric hernia

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
