Experiences with

Horny Goat Weed

Well, yesterday, I had a full hand x-ray, which I won't get the result for just yet, but my GP also added a urate test to my usual CRP and ESR blood test. ESR is fine at 10, CRP is abnormal at 32, my normal is usually between 12 and 15. Urate is abnormal, and says I have Gout!! That really makes me feel

I had an appointment with a new rheumy, who reviewed past hip and pelvic X rays, and a head CT scan. 2017 and 2022 respectively. On these he could see, and pointed out to me, calcium pyrophosphate crystals around my left hip, symphysis pubis, and around the dens. (Apparently I have crowned dens syndrome

I had a face to face meeting with the Health Board CEO. To start with he quoted the Patient Experience answers to my concerns but I soon stopped that showing photographic evidence that they were lying. As the meeting progressed he became very quiet and obviously shaken. His PA took a lot of notes and

There are some research regarding GLP1 agnostic helps with Parkinson's. There are a couple of trials in progress as well such as exenatide and lixisenatide. I came across this supplement for GLP1.

My husband has moderate arthritic pain in knees and ankle and has used Piroxicam gel but he now wants to change to Ibuprofen gel which, apparently has fewer general side effects. Also, his research indicates that Ibuprofen gel is the more effective of the two. He takes Apixaban and his cardiologist

Hi Tedrog, I also started allopurinol when I started my Acalabrutinib one and a half years ago. It took almost a year for my lymphocytes to go down, so I remained on allopurinol the whole time until they were within normal limits. The thinking was that I should stay on it as long as my lymph’s were

I live in the U.S. and I have decided -- the decision can be debated elsewhere -- to take Eliquis, which is available outside the U.S. as a generic called apixaban. My Eliquis costs $314 for 30 pills. I could do a bit better pricewise at another pharmacy 50 miles away, with long, long lines. I pay

You can see this video by keying in the title of the video into your browser. It has some interesting nutritional facts, suggesting that too much lycopene supplement may increase metastases. However, lycopene from whole plant based foods is useful.

Hi, I woke up last Sunday with swollen big toe and instep just below big toe. Had a phone doctors appointment and sent the doctor photos of foot. Said it was gout and prescribed 3 days of colchicine. I’ve now finished the colchicine, it’s barely improved, I still cant walk without being in agony.

I have developed an incredibly painful big toe which is slightly swollen. It is isn't red or hot, so I don't think there is an infected joint. I am suspecting gout but I do not drink or eat any of the foods on the list that cause high uric acid levels. I have never had gout before so this is just google

I’ve suddenly come down with gout in my big toe, it’s come out of the blue for no apparent reason. Does anyone know if there’s a connection with hydroxy which I’ve now taken for numerous years? I’m puzzled, I thought I had a healthy diet with no sugar and little alcohol. I haven’t found the way to

Hi everyoneCan anybody tell me if its acceptable to have nose bleeds on apixaban, been on the med over 3 years, started having nose bleeds, should I worry?, told GP she didn't seem to be concerned, trying to blame them on other superficial problems gave me a spray.

I noticed I had a subconjunctival haemorrhage in the left eye this morning when shaving. Unfortunately, I had already taken my morning dose of apixaban before I noticed it. I couldn’t get a GP appointment even by phone. Does anyone know what the advice is in this case? Is it recommended to pause the

Thinking about trying Veozah. Is anybody aware of any drug interactions? I'm currently on Leuprolide and ABI plus prednisone.

Back in November I noticed a swelling under my arm. My doctor set me up with ultrasounds and found it was swollen lymph nodes. After the surgery in December to remove the largest one, I was told I had SLL. My world turned upside down. I had a PET scan in January and I lit up like a Christmas tree. The

My MDS is a huge fan of rasagiline and I’ve taken it for almost 3 years, and want to continue to take Mucuna and carbidopa as needed along with it. I've read that Mucuna should not be taken with rasagiline. Is there any truth to this? I’m not going to stop taking rasagiline, and I’d rather not start

I’m titrating NDT Armour over the last year but I’ve got a hypo symptom that’s bothering me, nighttime teeth clenching. I have no knowledge I’m doing this. I take amitriptyline and once I get to sleep midnight to 1am, I’m out for the count. I think the dentist told me September 2023 that I was clenching
