Vitamin Supplements for PMR
I have had PMR since February 2023, diagnosed end of April, started on 15mg Pred, increased to 20mg to get fully on top of pain. Now tapering, down to 17.5mg and plan to go to 15mg at the end of July. Then slowly from there. I have been taking Alendronic Acid tablet one weekly since mid May. I am thinking

Recent results & help needed on next steps
Hi, I'm really grateful for any help please.. My theory is that I am having a gut issue because of the supplements I am taking not making a difference and I have no clue where to start with that. I have been attempting to help myself since November 2022 when I was fed up of feeling crappy. I have been

Hi.. My daughter is age 30.. She's been having a lot of symptoms for many years.. As I have hashimoto's I figured I'd get her a private blood test. As she has. A lot of these symptoms. Her gp only tests her tsh so I thought best to get the antibody tests and T 3 done.... Surprising to me it has come

Adding T3
I posted my results last week and used slow dragons response to craft my request for a dosage increase of synthroid. She responded that my tsh was so low that I run the risk of becoming hyper if synthroid is increased..she did agree to add t3 in 5mcg and new labs in 8 weeks. I don't really have any

How bad do I need to get before I will be treated?
I’m just wondering how much worse do I need to get before I can get treatment? Do I even need treatment at all? Should I already be on it? I’m still trying to make sense of what my latest blood results mean. I have hypothyroid symptoms and have had them for about 2 years now with new ones developing

PTH and aggressive PCa? I need guidance
Hello, everyone! I can really use some guidance. My husband’s PTH (Parathyroid hormone) has been elevated since his Dx (pre & post treatments) Being that his blood calcium is at normal levels, his MO ruled out Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, and moved on.

Alendronic Acid
It has been recommended that I take Alendronic Acid to protect my bones whilst taking Prednisone as I now have Osteoporosis. To be honest given the potential horrendous side effects of Alendronic Acid which on top of those of taking Prednisone and of course the impact of having GCA I am reluctant to
