Do natural supplements work to reduce high cholesterol?
While strictly not a PMR issue I know there are a few whose cholesterol has risen markedly since being diagnosed. I am one of them. I have always had high-ish cholesterol but my last fasting blood test showed everything else perfectly normal but my cholesterol was up. I haven't seen the results

First COVID Antibody Test
I just got the results back from my first COVID antibody test. It said that my antibody level is 150. Is this a decent level? It is difficult to find much information on this. I am trying to see if I can feel a little secure if we have family over for Christmas. I will probably wear a mask and

Recently diagnosed with Primary Myelofibrosis
Up until I caught Covid at the beginning of June 2022 I was fit, healthy and pretty active, always outdoors doing something like playing golf two or three times a week. I never really recovered from Covid although tested negative after two weeks. Since that time, I became more and more out of breath

Collagen
Good Day All I am 80 years old and have been on W & W for 5 years. I am considering taking a collagen supplement for joint pain in my knee. Does anyone know of reason I shouldn't take collagen with CLL. Thanks very much.

Levo doses and side effects
Hi everyone, I've had hypothyroidism (Hashimotos) for several years now and never felt 'well' that whole time, but at times have been able to cope and others (like now) absolutely can't. It seems to be constant and I wanted some advice/thoughts from what seems to be a very knowledgeable group who can

Bone marrow transplant
Hi, I am being offered a bone marrow transplant and wonder if anyone can offer me positive advice. Obviously the process is quite scary, but would like to think I'm doing the right thing. Thank you George

Second opinion
Hi,I suffer from polycythaemia vera and have done so for the last 7 years.

9 month Besremi update
Hi All, Latest test results showed that I need a phlebotomy: My HCT was 44.5 and though I'm slightly increasing my Besremi dose (now at 160ish), it hasn't kept the HCT under my target of 42. I went ahead and got a phlebotomy this past weekend--the full amount of 500ml. the previous one I had was
