Extreme rapid weight loss
Ok so husband has gone from 203 on November 20th to 182 this morning. When he hit 183.5 yesterday I insisted we go to ER. They have him a bag of fluids. Labs actually didn’t look to wonky so they sent him home 3 pounds up from the fluids but was even lower this morning. Clearly he can’t lose 1-2 pounds

My Heart's Saying Something's Wrong
I had my gallbladder removed many, many years ago because it was no longer functioning. Because it was sick and diseased with no stones, it took doctors over 2 years to find my problem. About 6 years ago I went to the ER with chest pain (center chest) following what I thought was food poisoning. Nothing

Nexium related kidney disease
Hello I’m new here. Just got diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease my doctors seem to think it’s from being on nexium for 20 years. The nephrologist said he’s not too concerned with my kidneys at this point but I am freaking out. He said stay away from too much salt and eat moderately with protein.

Blood test results
Hi, in my recent blood test results calcium, potassium and sodium levels were above normal range (all others, including LFT, ALT were normal range). I try to follow low sodium diet. GP has asked for repeat test. Has anyone else have similar results. So far only diagnosis is mild to high Fibrosis.

Right Upper Quadrant Pain?
I joined this community about a month ago and, rather than simply reading different threads, have finally mustered the courage to post a question. Of all the threads I've read so far, there are many people who appear to have similar stories – although, I've never been able to find out how their stories

Interference of anti-streptavidin antibodies in immunoassays: a very rare phenomenon or a more common finding?
The issue with biotin interfering with blood tests has been much discussed. Now a paper which suggests that interference by anti-streptavidin antibodies is more common than thought. Unfortunately, whereas with biotin we can do something (stop taking biotin for a few days before a test), with these

Earlier Part of Morning in the Loo
Thanks for all your replies. Seems many of you have similar experience of being in and out of the loo for first part of the morning. I have an early morning meeting coming up next week. Plan to eat very little the night before, get up very early, then take an Imodium before I go out. Last year I gave

Low iron
My ferritine was 59ug/dl 2 weeks ago. I have been having my periods for 5 days every 28 days for years. My doc gave me iron supplement once a day. I have been taking it for 2 weeks. I took a blood test 2 days ago and the results showed my iron is low.. 47ug/dl. How is it possible if I am taking 2 weeks

Too soon to be tested?
I have an endo appointment on Tuesday to review meds. I’ve just checked my diary and discovered that the next bloods will be drawn just over 4 weeks since my T3 dose was doubled and my T4 increased from 50 to 75mcg. I thought it was longer. I’ve asked questions recently about this describing feeling

5 day constipation - how to clear?
As I've complained many many times on here, I've had a storm of IBS D* since May but my problem has eased a little due to a starchy diet and a decrease in stress. However. Last Thursday was a MESS. Not only did I go back to my old city to meet a guy I'd been talking to for 5 weeks (we had mutual friends

Cerebral angiogram
Having had an aortic valve replacement in January 2018. My bloods have been showing low potassium and high sodium. My GP decided to stop Indapamde. At that point my BP went extremely high resulting in a dramatic collapse in the street and bilateral sub arachnoid haemmorage. BP 248/118. Three CT scans

Update from miserable w Vegan
Hi everyone, I thank all of you for your good advice. I finally got a second opinion and a renal dietician, they allowed me to eat fish and chicken 2 to 3 times a week with limited portions. I found it extremely weird that I felt 10x worse after seeing my old doctor. I had non stop headaches, leg pain
