Just Left My Doctor’s Office
I told everyone I would follow - up with you in reference to strange “stabbing “ sensations in my ears! The Neuro wants me to get a MRI and a (3) day round of SM Steroids infusion in - home! Oh well, not looking forward to the MRI, after 20 + over the years who’s counting! I’ll need ZZ Quil about 30

Help Please 🙏🏻
Hi everyone, I desperately need the advice of people who can understand my situation. I am afraid for the first time since I became ill in 1990 that I am at my wits end and simply do not know what to do. I had a cavernous haemangioma removed from my nasal cavity in February. I suffered a haemorrhage

Dad diagnosed with GBM grade 4
Hi, my dad was diagnosed with a glioblastoma about 4 weeks ago. He has gone from being a fairly healthy 58 year old man who travels around the UK and holidays a few times a year abroad to a man who sits on the sofa refusing to go out or do anything. He has got a healthy appetite but is eating way too

upcoming PET scan
so, here’s where we are… My Joe has been experiencing increasing pain in his left hip and thigh. Today he said the thigh is numb. PET scan scheduled this coming Tuesday. He thinks it’s a hairline fracture. Is it wrong of me to hope he’s right, vs his cancer having landed there? He’s 4 months post-Pluvicto

Here I go again
Absolutely gutted. I've lost a stone of the 2 I gained from being on steroids and have now been put back on them. The fat collar has already started as has the distended abdomen. It's soul destroying.

methotrexate
I wanted to say thank you for all the really useful feedback and tips you sent me. I haven’t replied to all I’m afraid! I am going forward with Methotrexate in a couple of weeks (just had a Covid booster)and have agreed I will start tabs at 10mg and move to injections quickly if I struggle with digestion

hands and fingers
hi all I am at week three of my PMR journey, and have been taking steroids at 15 mg then increased to 20, I am now taking 25 mg to see if that is any good. I seem to be improving in some ways. In other ways I feel I am worse. My hands and fingers are unbearably painful and I can barely hold a cup do

PMR symptoms and Steroid sensitivity and withdrawal
I updated my profile a couple of weeks ago as I am feeling that the PMR recovery plan is not working. I had about 10 days at the beginning of my 15 mg start on prednisolone of feeling that the pain was controlled. After that I experienced a low level of the previous discomfort. I was not advised about

Just a quick update, Endo appointment 👿
went to Royal Liverpool Endo dept , was hoping to see the consultant who is on TUK Uk list. Unfortunately this did not happen, the person I saw was less than helpful, see I can be tactful, sometimes. Introduced herself as diabetes consultant and she lived up to that name. The first thing she said

Had pulse field ablation April 15.
I'm 82. retired US nurse-anesthetist. I had the ablation for paroxysmal Afib April 15 ,It wasn't a difficult experience considering I am a high-risk anesthesia patient due to scoliotic restrictive lung disease and asthma. It only took about 1,1/2 hrs. (I have all the records on my patient portal.)
