He is just not eating and losing so much weight! I'm giving hime Ensure and whatever else he might eat but it's just

What happens when CT scan and ultrasound can't verify if it's an ovarian mass or not?
I (post-menopausal 52 y/o) went in to urgent care about a month ago with stomach pains. Doctor thought it was a ruptured appendix, but sent me for a CT scan to verify. Turns out it was diverticulitis, but on the CT scan they noticed a a complex cyst on my left ovary, however they couldn't be sure if

Hi All I have seen my Consultant today and she said it is time to start thinking about treatment. Not what I wanted to hear but after 14 years W&W I guessed it would come one day. She will arrange a CT Scan to check on Tumour burden (I think thats right) then just waiting on this. TP53 - deletion

Famotidine as a substitute for Omeprazole?
Hello friends, Has anyone been prescribed Famotidine to replace Omeprazole? I’ve been experiencing gut issues for several months now and my gp has suggested a change in H2 antagonist to see if the frequency symptoms resolve. The list of potential side effects on the PIL don’t inspire me to make the

After 25 years they have stopped my B12 - what can I do?
I'm in my early sixties. Generally very good health. On no medication. About twenty five years ago my then brilliant GP did a blood test for B12. A few days later rang me to come to the surgery immediately where he injected B12 himself. Apparently I had dangerously low levels of B12 that indicated I

Update
Hi everyone, I’m on a steroid taper of 10/5 daily so will be on 5 mg when I start Mycophenolate on 20th of this month, I’m starting on a low dose gradually increasing. Hopefully this will take away the inflammation and remove bilateral pleural effusion’s and pericardial effusion caused by Serositis as

ongoing chronic constipation.. ‘opioid bowel & interstitial cystitis… test results!
following months of waiting I eventually paid to see a private bowel surgeon. Worth every penny. She organised tests through NHS. Won’t bore with details- but I have a dysfunctional opioid bowel ( due to severe back problems). A large rectocele & possibly a cystocele I’m having a transit study…

Apixaban and iron
I am taking Apixaban 5mg bd and iron bisglycinate 60mg. Is the iron reducing the effectiveness of the Apixaban and vice versa? If so, what is the solution to raising the ferritin levels?

Was thinking of Dr. Chandy yesterday, God bless him for having such courage
Long story but I have had a couple of head MRIs due to lesions that are perpendicular in nature. To check if they have increased. I had access to my own scans so I knew that they were checking for MS. As I could read the medical terminology. But my GP (newish to me) never told me. I don't know why, it

shortness of breath subsequent to zoledronic acid infusion
Because of GI problems, bisphosphonate tablets are not an option for me, so I have gone down the infusion path. I had my first infusion on December 28th, and experienced about three days of bad muscle pain, which then resolved itself. It was a couple of weeks later that I noticed that my ankles were

Ferrocalm
I started taking Ferrocalm about 18 weeks ago and suffered adjustment symptoms from day 1 which still persist. I have had severe intractable iBS-C for 10 years which has not responded to all allopathic treatments including Amitriptyline which didn’t work at 100mg at night! I was fully investigated

Alendronic Acid and ears
I have chronic ear ache in one ear - seeing private consultant soon- audiologist thinks may be bones problem. Have takes AA for 5 years. Saw on Google could damage ears like jaw - believe should not take before and after extraction. It’s rare - should I stop AA for now - scans showed bone density borderline

Am I being blasé about stomach protectors whilst on Pred?
I have had PMR for 3 and a half years and generally feel lucky that I am not feeling as bad or fatigued as many on this forum. I am certainly not as fit as I was but age has a part to play. I am 75 and used to be able to do big hikes, Zumba and so on but can still walk 4 to 5 miles and have just moved

testing hit folate and vitamin b12
My hospital lab started to give me results for folate and b12 combined. Is it standard ? Any suggestions would be very welcome.

lynparza dose reduction?
I am just wondering if anybody who is taking lynparza has had to reduce the dose due to side effects and if so have you seen any decrease in efficacy with doing so? My dad is currently taking 300mg twice daily and has constant nausea. He has tried zofran, promethazine, and the sancuso transdermal patch
