Taking Biotin prior to full Blood count

I was sent to Rheumatology last year as my hand keeps swelling and I can’t bend my fingers. This was after many years of other issues but I never put the puzzle together and thought I could have been suffering with an autoimmune disease. I have suffered with Angioedema since 2017, with my face blowing

one more tumor marker question?
As some of you read my moms 15-3 marker went up from 163 to 332. She’s been on her new combo for 7 weeks. Everolimus and Faslodex . She finished a five day radiation treatment to the leg in her bone on Sept. 29th and then they did a tumor marker 20 days later and it had almost doubled . This is

facial rash
hi there, I have just had a positive ana result and suspected lupus so I am being referred to a rheumatologist. I have a slight red rash on both cheeks but nothing on my nose. Can a lupus facial rash be just mildly on both cheeks and not on your nose? thanks in advance for any replies? Pinkyerin

antispasmodic medication for irritable bowel syndrome
Hi, lately I have been going through a very difficult time with my physical problems. I am suffering from irritable bowel syndrome and have frequent severe cramps after eating something disagreeable. The anticholinergic or antispasmodic med Hyoscyamine Sulf 0.125 mg worsens my restless legs big time

Fennel Seeds
Hi everyone, I've recently done some research into fennel seeds, and I've read that apparently it contains a compound called Anethole, which helps to relax the muscles in your digestive tract. I was just wondering if anyone here has eaten fennel seeds before and can verify this. I am looking for ways

Update on Prostate Cancer Vaccines that I follow... another year is gone...
Greetings FPC forum, It has been another year... and I would love to have better news... there is a new vaccine candidate to monitor, but the reality is that the system takes time... The system needs a revision in my opinion, but I digress... As I reviewed the last time, the vaccine trial for RhoVac's

Watching House
I am off on a long weekend (tomorrow I go back to work), and watching House on Netflix. Funny how they focus on positive ANA for lupus on this. Of course it is never lupus, but the irony is, when you don’t tests positive on ANA - it can’t be lupus. BUT, if people test positive for ANA, you are told

Recovery from colds/flu whilst on Adalimumab
Hello,I was diagnosed with Crohn's 18 months ago and have been on Adalimumab for the last 12 months. In that time I have managed to avoid colds/flu until a couple of weeks ago. Have felt quite unwell and presently doesn't seem to be ending. My question is really to other people who have a reduced immune

Reason for constipation
Is there much research or understanding about why children and toddlers are getting constipated so much? It seems so many are being treated for constipation but I haven't seen any discussions on why this constipation is happening to try and avoid it. I understand low fibre and reduced fluid intake can

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

is this hemorrhoids or should I be right to be worried
I’m a 31 year old female. I went to the bathroom yesterday and after a.. sizeable bowel movement noticed some blood in the toilet. This has happened before so I wasn’t too concerned, but I just went to the restroom again today and after I flushed the first time I thought I noticed blood. This was a normal

Hi I am normally a constipated individual, but over the last week I have suffered twice with severe diarrhoea with extremely painful spasms. Following the first bout I didn’t go to the toilet for a week, even after taking two separate doses of Laxido. Well last night it all kicked off again - pain
