Pleurisy came on without warning! Ouch!!!
I woke up one morning with the worse side pain ever. Very scary. Went to get CT scan: good news no blood clots or pneumonia; bad news cancer in pleural cavity. Ugh!!!! At home with meds and painkillers resting. Yep this MBC is like a wild rollercoaster 🎢 ride. Looks like turkey 🦃 sandwiches and chips

The socket is reamed out to one mm smaller than the artificial

No Diagnosis
The surgeon here is going to refer me to

management
to keep pursuing for an explanation. I just feel so drained, I also had a kidney stone and I have gallstones. I’ve had endless blood tests and left in urine and fecal samples and had a camera in my bladder and a CT scan.

Quick taper?
My CRP was rising and with lots of pain killers. Dr raised my 10 mg to 15 mg Prednisilone for 5 weeks. Now, CPR has come down by half and he is advising I reduce to 10 mg , via practice receptionist on telephone , with bloods again in 6 weeks. Question: Is this something like normal practice, and would

Anxious about totally bizarre symptoms
I suffered Nephritis as a child (60 years ago) and have since then had no kidney problems except passing a kidney stone around 5 years ago. For the past 5 or 6 nights I have been woken with quite severe pain in the area of my right kidney. At first I assumed I was passing another stone and the first

Complete thyroidectomy & meds
Hello everyone ! I had a complete thyroidectomy in August. Initially, I had been taking the generic Levothyroxine. I immediately had horrible symptoms of crushing depression and extreme fatigue. My doctor boosted me up to 125 mg and there was no difference. I looked online and read that some people
