2nd Ablation woes
Hi I had a second ablation 2 weeks ago today. Everything went well and I felt happy and optimistic. Then a few days ago I went back into Af with an erractic heartbeat that is still continuing. Spoke to Arrythmia nurse and she advised this is quite common and I might need a cardioversion in 6 weeks after

Flecainide before Cardioversion
My EP's plan was to have me start on Flecainide and then have Cardioversion in hopes that my heart would keep rhythm. EP changed his mind because my INR was below threshold and told me to not take it until AFTER the CV in case the med converted my heart. I was instructed to have an ECG done 2 days

How long does SBRT to two lymph nodes continue to lower PSA?
Just wondering…does SBRT continue to drop PSA for any length of time? Or is it five sessions and it is what it is then? Curious if I can see further PSA reduction after 5 sessions to one node, then 5 to a second node. No prostate. See the treating RO in a couple of days, but thought I would ask

CD20 Therapies (Ocrevus, Kesimpta, etc.) and potentially serious dental problems
This was an interesting post on the MS-blog. You have to get past the Dustin Hoffman in Marathon Man reference (which was a memorable scene!) to get down to the nitty gritty of why dental hygiene and regular checkups are so critical when when you're on certain MS therapies. https://multiple-sclerosis-research.org

Excruciating jaw pain
Over the past week, pain in my jaw has been getting worse. It’s now excruciating at times. It’s not there all the time but does often coincide with eating. Had a thorough dental examination and no sign of infection or necrosis (from Zometa). I’m taking cocodamol but it’s not enough. Any similar experiences

Vasculitis (especially CNS/cerebral) and incontinence
I was helping another cerebral/CNS vasculitis patient tonight about incontinence. Which can be a common symptom of brain vasculitis, whether a primary CNS/cerebral vasculitis, or secondary brain involvement from a systemic vasculitis like GPA. But vasculitis medics frequently under recognise incontinence

Thankyou
Thankyou to everyone for all the replies to my previous post. I have felt anxious because of being newly diagnosed and new to the meds so the replies have helped me greatly. I've still got an echo to come and 48hr ecg and I have the date for the ecg now. Thankyou once again.

Difference in levels-stress?
I've been on leventhyroxine for years for underactive thyroid. Had yearly check muddle of Feb. TSH 2.09. Had full bloods for something else (WRS) and levels are 0.36 by middle if April. I'm wondering if stress can cause TSH to go up or down? Dr. Says this is in normal range for lab- but normal

iwatch setting - AF history or AF alert?
Prior to my ablation last October I had persistent Afib. Since then I have been in NSR. I have kept my iwatch monitor set to record “AF history” and it has consistently shown AF load to be 2% or under on the weekly notifications. Should I stay on this setting or should I now set it to show alerts the

Rising PSA
What are the most Accurate scans for detecting hot spots of cancer? Husband has had several PSMA scans and CT with contrast yet nothing shows up. He had one lymph show up in 2017 on an Auxium scan and it was radiated. 7 years later PSA rising… up to 14. Yet scans show nothing definitive. CT with

Weird leg pain
Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this weird symptom! For almost 10 years now I have had pain in my outer calf about two inches up from my ankle on both sides. It comes on with the slightest exertion but is not there all the time. The achy pain builds and builds until I feel like

Low Dose Aspirin for Heart Disease
My cardiologist wants me to take a daily low dose aspirin, but I am hesitant as I have a history of proteinuria. I know the studies are inconclusive as to whether or not it helps (and even my cardiologist admits that), but I have a bad valve and my risk is moderately high for sudden death/stroke. I'm

PSA uptick
Quick background, my dad was diagnosed with metastatic PCa in 2018. Initially treated with docetaxel + ADT. His PSA has been at/near undetected (<0.01-0.02) for several years, but recently there has been an uptick to 0.08 (similar on a recheck, so not lab error). Obviously still low-level, but concerning
