Cholesterol
Where can I find reliable information regarding cholesterol levels. I am in the US and cardio specialist who is also a lipid specialist is confused due to so much conflicting info for people with PBC and cholesterol. My LDL is high, so is my HDL and my Triglycerides are normal. I don't have any heart

AF with Bisoprolol
I have been switched from Disopyramide to Bisoprolol because Disopyramide was out of stock. I am now in AF and while Bisoprolol seems to be constraining my Heart Rate, I have been in AF nearly all day, and it’s not great. With Disopyramide twice a day, the next dose would resolve any AF, the Bisoprolol

Colon blockage
I am writing for my husband who is in the ER at this time. He has been diagnosed with a distal colonic blockage. The doctor will do a sigmoid colonoscopy to determine what is causing the blockage and how to treat it. He had a his RP in December of 2021 and 38 sessions of radiation. I’m wondering if anyone

5FU/CAL, any experience? (5 fluorouracil/calcipotriene)
Just wondering if anyone has had treatment for actinic keratosis on the nose or face? I just started treatment for multiple AK's on the nose with FU/CAL cream (5FU-Calcipotriene compound) I have read that it activates lymphocytes and wondering if anyone using this compound has experienced any changes

IBS Flare up
Good afternoon to everyone. I've had IBS-D for many years and I've been able to cope and manage it so far. But since October 2023, I had a major flare up, it was getting to the point where I was struggling to work and general daily activities. Was constantly on the toliet. It was that bad that I went

Cataract surgery?
Has anyone had any cataract surgery while taking Pegasys? Is there a problem with eye surgery while taking Interferon? I'm about to be changed over to Pegasys from Hydrea, and also about to have cataract surgery. Some of the things I've read seem to indicate that may be a problem.

Suspected Cushings or just hypo
Hey everyone, My endo is sending me for an MRI of pituitary and CT of chest, pelvis, abdomen and adrenals. My salivary cortisol seems to go up a lot after adding t3, my blood cortisol is over range and I'm having issues raising thyroid meds, keeping me in a hypo state. Apparently I could have a tumour

Double vision episode
Just had one. First since November 2021. Then I was on high dose pred for GCA, coming down. Continued to taper quite successfully, eventually to zero in November 2022. But PMR followed, so went onto 15mg pred, tapering again quite successfully. Down to 5 mg since 6th February. Clearly no blood test

A shunt or not?
has anyone had the experience of having a shunt put in their eye for glaucoma at the same time as a cataract operation? I’ve had one very successful cataract operation and I’m about to have the second. The consultant wants to put in a shunt as the pressure in that eye is 22, Have never had any

EMBARK Study: Enzalutamide +/- ADT
Results of the EMBARK study was published this week (10/19/23) in NEJM. It compared high risk BCR PCa treated in 3 groups: Lupron ADT alone. Enzalutamide plus ADT.

It's mortar and pestle time - Ginkgo update
Holland & Barrett have discontinued 30mg Ginkgo tablets, leaving 60mg and 120mg on the shelf. No more convenience for a 3 x 30mg dose. I tried a 120 but the increase in tinnitus which happens for me on dose day was uncomfortable so I won't be doing that again. It looks like more is not necessarily better

My gp says it's sjogrens, an autoimmune disease, and referred
