HRT anyone?
Hi all, I was diagnosed with Lupus last June. Luckily my symptoms are mild - and my rhumatologist agreed that i didn't need to start hydroxyholorquine if I didn't want to. I'm definitely peri-menopausal and a lot of "symptoms" of lupus overlap with perimenopause and my rhumatologist agreed it's

B12 result after 6 months…
Hi, So initially in October I was diagnosed with what they suspect to be pernicious anaemia, I had a negative IF test but due to me having diabetes and no other factors which could indicate why I was so low in B12 they put it down to me having pernicious anaemia. I had 6 loading doses after which my

Tachycardia- update
thank you all for the advice it really helped as I was getting a bit panicked about the high heart rate and not sure what to do. I haven’t taken myself to A&E yet! I took a Kardia ecg this morning and sent it to the hospital - came up as unclassified- just had a call back to say it is A-flutter- I

B12 prescription cancelled by pharmacist
Hello - I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency around 15 years ago. My GP at the time said that I had Pernicious Anaemia and was unable to absorb B12 from my food. Apart from a gap in 2016 when my then GP said that I had too much B12 in my system, withdrew the injections for a year which resulted in my

overlap RA, medication?
I was Dx with overlap rheumatoid arthritis. I have had PBC for 15 years, controlled well by URSO. In terms of RA, rheumatologist says this really limits medications given so many of the standard RA medications can damage the liver. For now I am on steroids. Can anyone else in the PBC community speak

Statins with an under active thyroid.
Hi everyone. I've recently found out that my thyroid is under active. Because my LDL is elevated, the doctor decided I needed to see a specialist. They won't give me an appointment and have said I need to take a statin while they get to me. The NHS website says you don't give statins to people with an

I've also posted this on the Fibromyalgia and Lupus communities.I don't want to write too long a post so will try and keep the background brief. Basically

Parkinson's wife
My husband was diagnosed about 4 years ago though I suspect Parkinsons was developing long before that. Main problem - neither Sinemet or Madopar has any effect on bradykinesia or tremor (let alone the non motor symptoms)and increasing medication e.g. Neupro patch = rotigotine dopamine agonist only

Updated diagnosis of autoimmune thyroid disorder
Just an update. Unsurprisingly with elevated thyroid antibodies I have been diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid disorder. As I currently have some hyper symptoms as well as hypo ones, the private GO who’s diagnosed me very sensibly, imo, wants to test again to ensure she gets the diagnosis and treatment

Gut analysis
I recently provided a sample for analysis and received the results last week. I had a follow up appointment with Gemma my Funtional Health Practitioner (in training) yesterday. I wanted to share some of the info I have learned here. I have Helicobacter Pylori, unsurprising as around 50% of the population

PBC - liver transplant donors and blood group questions
Hi - I either read on this website or the PBC Facebook site in the last couple of weeks - referring to if potentially one day a liver transplant is needed, that being a specific blood group type can limit the number of potential donors you may have? I am the blood group Rhesus Negative and wondered

Elevated LDH
Hello, I haven’t posted before. My 44-year-old husband was diagnosed 2 years ago. He has been in watch and wait. We just met with his oncologist. His other blood counts are relatively stable, just increasing at a low rate. But his LDH has steadily increased the last 3 tests and is elevated. His oncologist

Treatment Update IMRT with ADT 18 months later
Follow up 18 months later. I am due for another ADT injection in December. Spoke to the Urologist and he feels 18months is enough keeping with the European standard while the Oncologist would like me to stay the course and do the full 2 years. I am in favor of 18 months also, that would be nice. Still

Vacation from Lupron/Zytiga - Temporary or Permanent!
I have been on ADT (Lupron/Zytiga) for 2.5 years. PSA and testosterone immeasurable currently. Looking to go on "vacation" from meds. History: Gleason 8/9 with a PSA of only 1.89 (on Finasteride). CT/Bone scan did not show any definite metastasis. PSMA PET showed "possible" metastasis in 4 spots
