Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

Warning, ugly face
I am not diagnosed with Lupus, but I do have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome and Generalised multi joint Osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia and am hypothyroid.However, I am trying to get to the bottom of the terrible sores that come up on my face and neck. They can be terrible and then clear up a bit, but never fully

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

Covid vaccines and Lupus Flare - up
Everytime I get a Covid shot I get a painful Lupus Flare- up for 4 to 5 months . In the 30 years of having Lupus I have never been so sick as since I have been taking Covid shots . I am thinking I will wait at least 1 year , if not longer for another one .

Gut-first theory of Parkinson's disease gains traction
The gut-first theory of Parkinson's, originally proposed 20 years ago, started to intrigue Sulzer after his own research pointed toward the role of an autoimmune response in Parkinson's. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230822/Gut-first-theory-of-Parkinsons-disease-gains-traction.aspx

Thoughts on preventing more arryrhmias. Now 2 ablations down, on having been persistently in AF
Just checking in , after my review with my Electrophysiologist . 2nd Ablation was Feb 23rd 2022. He says I am doing very well, for where I was in persistent and a lot of arrythmias, when he ablated. Also on my asking about prognosis that hopefully this will now sustain, with v short episodes of AF

Need help in understanding PSA level recurrence after treatment.
In May 2023 I completed what the doctor hope would be a curative treatment of 38 sessions of radiotherapy accompanied by 2.25 years on Lupron + Zytiga. During that treatment, my PSA fell to < 0.01 and remained there until the end of the treatment. I had a blood test taken last Friday and it shows that

Update after cardiac catheterization.
First a BIG THANK YOU for all the advice and support. I felt you with me every step of the way. The catheterization showed no narrowing of the major cardiac arteries. But head cardiologist came and said all my symptoms were classic heart attack and clearly something was blocked...so i have a bucket
