Heart failure and Entresto anyone?
I have had AFib for 11 years did well on Multaq for the last 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working. Spent 4 days in the hospital and they told me I now have heart failure - cardiologist has recommended a pace and ablate in January and offered me Entresto but I hate to add new meds to my already mix

cancer progression
Hello, please see my profile for history on my dad's condition. He went to the ER this weekend with severe flank pain and CT revealed left-sided hydronephrosis as likely cystic soft tissue mass obstructing the left ureter. An anterograde stent was placed after failure of retrograde stent. The cancer

rising PSA and 'light' advancement of mets in hip bones. Diagnosed stage 4 in March 2021.
Greetings! My husband was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in March 2021. ADT dropped the PSA quite a bit. We started seeing Dr. George at Duke March of 2023 and he had my husband on a round of docetaxel. After that the many bone mets and some on lungs 'disappeared'. Now it looks like they

New diagnosis
Hi there, I got I'll from glandular fever in my late teens and have been given different diagnosis over the years and now I have been told I have rheumatoid arthritis. I'm hopefully going to start sulfasalazine and just wondered has this been successful for people? I've been so fatigued for so long,

Understand Your Blood Work
this is from a Canadian PBC Society PBC FACT SHEET (09/02/16) (may vary by lab) ALP Alkaline Phosphatase This enzyme occurs mainly in liver cells next to bile ducts, and in bone. The blood level is raised in PBC and is the main enzyme that is checked to see if you have a response to treatment

Some bad news…
I had a bypass a year ago and everything seemed to be going fairly well. I noticed a bit of chest pain in May but this seemed to pass over and the consultant wasn’t too concerned. However, two or three weeks ago I noticed some left-sided chest/arm/shoulder pain when cycling and this has got progressively

I Had A Stroke
Last week I had an ischemic stroke. It affected my right leg and right arm/hand. I woke up to a heavy arm and heavy leg but my face, smile, and speech were unaffected. It got progressively worse throughout the day and I went to the ER 9 hours after I woke up. I should have gone to the ER right after

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

radiation question, possible kidney stones.
my husband had SBRT (prostate, few spots on spine, and one rib) in August and November 2023 with no side effects. He recently had lab work and It showed blood in urine, high protein, and crystals. He had an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones and it showed nothing so he is now scheduled for a Uro CT

After Pluvicto #6 results
Finished my 6th and final Pluvicto and am now getting lab results.

Misdiagnosis
I am reasonably new to this site and have found it incredibly useful and informative. However, I recently received a bombshell, in that I have possibly been misdiagnosed with AF. I visited my GP at the end of September in 2023 with severe palpitations and given three ECGs. Two of these were viewed by
