Lupus Tumidus
Hi All - After months of burning and itching skin, intermittent exhaustion, irritability, on and off leg swelling and joint pain, I have been diagnosed with Lupus Tumidus. Rheumatologist has said it is not SLE and will likely never turn into SLE. (I am not convinced but one battle at a time). Does

💤 sleep
I've always been a good sleeper but following the stroke triggered by brain aneurysm surgery. I've been regularly finding myself waking at 1-2am thinking it's the morning and time to get up. I'm living in a rehab unit so there are always staff around to reorientate me to the time but it's an annoying

Feeling lonely and fobbed off! What are these symptoms??
Hello, this is my first time posting so please bear with me.I am a 40 year old female. I was diagnosed with discoid lupus in 2005. Then a few years later, lupus panniculitis which is quite rare (fatty lumps under the skin which leave atrophies. (Mine are on my face, breasts, and arms). For the last

Social Isolation
Unfortunately, I don't have many friends for family to reach out to. MSAA's chat through HealthUnlocked here has provided me with much needed social connection. The MSAA help line suggested that I contact "MSFriends" so I just signed up for "MSFriends" peer support program through the National Multiple

Do you have lupus or another autoimmune condition?
There is still time to complete the survey conducted by RAIRDA (Rare Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease Alliance) on what patients think about the quality of their care, guidance and treatment for their Rare Autoimmune Rheumatic Disease (RAIRD). This is to provide valuable insights into the way services are

PSA Risen in Last 6 months
Have been on here a week ago, explaining that my husband (who was diagnosed 10years ago) has now been diagnosed with Gastroporesis, so not eating much due to constant nausea and vomiting. We are due to see his Urologist in 2 weeks time, so had the dreaded PSA blood test. It had been almost undetectable

PSA Rising
Asking for a friend of my father this time. He had surgery in december 2022 and everything was removed including glands. Gleason 4+5. His PSA has risen från 0.1 to 0.14 in 12 months. His doctor says to do nothing until it hits 0.2. But shouldn’t he do more? Maybe he doesn’t have advanced cancer yet.

My mind is so much

delayed reconstruction
I had a subdural haemorrhage in may 2023 removing most of the right side of my scull even encroached my forehead that’s some 10 months ago now. I was supposed to receive reconstructive surgery and have titanium implant to protect the sensitive area where my skin is my only protection to my brain. That

accidental overdose of thyroxine
I’m on 100 mcg thyroxine and the kart prescription they only had 25 mcg so I was taking 4 tablets a day and then the recent prescription was 100 mcg. I’ve just realised today that I’ve been taking 4 100 mcg a day I think for 4 days from how many are gone. In a bit of a panic. I’ve rang 111 and they called

panicking!
Hi, My husband was diagnosed over 10 years ago with Prostate cancer with PSA 18 and Gleeson 4+3. He was never offered prostatectomy as they said there was a small metastases on the pelvis. So he had 2 weeks of radiation on his hip, and was then treated with 6 monthly injections of Decapeptyl, which

PSA test at a different lab
I will be spending the winter in Florida. I have always had my PSA tested in Boston at the same medical facility for the last 7 years. In a perfect world I would travel back to Boston for a few day. Any feedback would be appreciated Thanks

Next step..
Gleason 9, s/practice RP. PSA UP to 0.2 8 months later. PSMA showed 4 hot spots all in pelvis. Started on zytiga and lupron same time as radiation started. PSA has remained < 0.04 for 17 months now. Considering the aggressive nature of my cancer, should I insist on a scan even when PSA <0.04 or

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

Hello again
I posted a little while ago, that I had been diagnosed with cirrhosis just over a year ago as a progression of NAFLD that I was unaware of. I had been waiting results of DEXA scan which did show thinning of bones and an US which showed no abnormalities. (The cirrhosis had been diagnosed from a Fibroscan
