Elevated Liver Enzymes
Hello everyone, hope you are doing well. I just recently had LFT, 3 enzymes came back a little elevated. Alt was 52, Alp was 121 and GGT at 72. Ast according to the lab was normal at 35. CBC was all good too, ANA was negative, kidney function test was normal as well. All the other protiens and enzymes

Help please
Would anyone be able to recommend an endo in North Yorkshire? I've sent my GP lots of research about T3 and bradycardia and other heart problems because he's told me it's not necessary to test. So far he hasn't been in touch. He's also not happy about my TSH which he considers too low at 0.13. I've sent

SOC & PSA
Three months post RT, my RO ordered a non-ultrasensitive PSA test with a lower limit of "<.1". I see posts of folks considering an increase from .02 to .06 a PSA doubling - obviously which would not be observable with my PSA test. This makes me wonder why: 1) Is there any good reason why an ultrasensitive

15hour wait for an ambulance
I was told by GP to call an ambulance because I had a chest ache for about 3 weeks and was having AFib at the time. I explained that it was not a pain but an ache and asked if I really did need an ambulance? She was adamant I did. Called 999 at noon - ambulance arrived 3am! Hospital trolley in corridor

12 months waiting for nothing.
yesterday I had a telephone appointment from a cardiologist that I’ve waited 12 months for. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. The last cardiologist I spoke to, said if I lose 10% of my body weight, an ablation would be the best option. The one yesterday, told me I had to have a BMI

could olaparib raise LDL cholesterol?
I took my master medical couple weeks back and the only blemish (apart from known blood work readings) is my cholesterol is high. My good cholesterol is in good range while the LDL bad cholesterol is in the upper end of the "high" range at 175.22. There is only a very high range after this. i last

Updated diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorder
Just an update. Unsurprisingly with elevated thyroid antibodies I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder. As I currently have some hyper symptoms as well as hypo ones, the private GO who’s diagnosed me very sensibly, imo, wants to test again to ensure she gets the diagnosis and treatment

Gut analysis
I recently provided a sample for analysis and received the results last week. I had a follow up appointment with Gemma my Funtional Health Practitioner (in training) yesterday. I wanted to share some of the info I have learned here. I have Helicobacter Pylori, unsurprising as around 50% of the population

Worried
I am a 41 year old male. I have always drank but only ever lager. Maybe 2 cans a night after work each night in the week and 7 or 8 cans on a Friday and a Saturday. Was getting little twinges under my right ribs and in my side so haven't drank for 2 months but the twinges are still there. Not painful

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Becoming mCRPC despite falling PSA
Hey guys, I got a question regarding my dad. He was diagnosed in summer 2022 with stage 4, Gleason 4+4, PSA of 122 and many osteoblastic bone metastases throughout the whole skeleton (very high volume) He did the triplet therapy, which lowered his PSA to 0.4 (January 2023). Scans afterwards stated

skin tears
I have vasculitis, MPA, microscopic Polyangiitis, and have been on prednisone for 3 years. Currently I am on 2.5 mg. Recently I developed several skin tears on my legs. Saw my rheumatologist yesterday and he told me to stop the prednisone. Suggestions please…can I just stop the 2.5 or should I taper

All kidney tests normal EXCEPT albumin/ creatinine ratio
hi. Haven't posted in while. My duff went up from 40 to 70!! But now test just came back that my albumin/creatinine ratio is slightly above normal. Should I be concerned?

Basal Cortisol Test Result
I have recently had a basal cortisol test and my serum cortisol level is 296 nmol/L. I have an appointment with my GP on Wednesday to discuss. My test results says that this is normal but on reading information on the Internet I’m not too sure that this is entirely correct. I have found the following

Any treatment after Lu-177 (Pluvicto)?
I have metastatic prostate cancer and have taken two Pluvicto infusions, but my PSA has gone UP from 2,000 to 3,000. I understand this is the end of the line...unless anyone online has information on where to go from here. Frank.
