The arrhythmia nurse wants me to reduce my bisoprolol dose after my cardioversion - fear of early relapse.
I had a 2nd successful cardioversion 5 days ago, and the arrhythmia nurse told me to reduce my dose of bisoprolol immediately from 7.5mg to 5mg as my heart rate was around 50bpm. However, unless I maintain NSR for 6 weeks after the cardioversion, they won't offer another one, so I'm reluctant to reduce

5-htp for adrenal insufficiency?
I've just read a bunch of articles about 5-htp (an amino acid precursor to serotonin) stimulating the HPA axis and increasing cortisol levels. Has anyone tried this when tapering through the lower doses of pred?

fatigue
I was just changed from monthly blood tests to 6 months and 6 month check ups....the doc said I was stable and there was a good chance i would never need treatment. I am 76 and maybe he thought I would naturally not live that long. Anyway, my concern is this ongoing fatigue that smacks me in the face

vitamin d advice please
I’m sub clinic apparently. I plan to start V D but my first look at what’s available is confusing. Is there more than one V D as I see some are called D3? Is the RDA amount available or do you just take lots to make it up. I’m 61 female with AI rheumatoid conditions and veggie.

Medication for Vasculitis
Hi. I have had Vasculitis for four years and my current medication is Prednisolone 5.5 mg daily and Methotextrate Injection 25mg weekly. Following the onset of my illness I now have to use a wheeled walker to get around and can no longer drive a motor vehicle.

is this a lupus rash?
Just wanted to add: I’m not taking anything anyone says as a diagnosis or medical advice I promise. I was just curious what people thought it looked like, and just gave info for context. I promise I’m not thinking if someone says it does look like the lupus rash that I’m not taking it as a diagnosis

PSA At Very Low Levels But Starting to Rise

My PSA went below .05 once again shortly thereafter. My most recent PSA labs were : .05, .06, .06, and .09 last week. I am conferring
