Tapering - have I overshot?
As per my bio. I was diagnosed with PMR in Sept 2023 and started on 15mg of Pred. Have been tapering at 4 week intervals from 15 to 12.5, then to 10 then 9 and then 8. So far so good. However, about 5 weeks ago I strained my back quite badly. Two telephone consultations with GP. At first, he prescribed

laparoscopy undiagnosed
hi all, I had an internal ultrasound which showed my ovary was stuck to my uterus so they said that it was possible endometriosis. They referred me for a laparoscopy which showed everything was normal ? Can someone explain why they would say my ovary and uterus was stuck in my ultrasound but not in

Hiya, went to Sheffield northern general mon 22nd April, told by consultant that I need triple if not quadruple bypass surgery, considered urgent but 3-4month waiting list, my sisters have rang different places to find that some do keyhole or through a vein in the wrist operations, what’s your opinion

Heartened to know I am not alone in the struggles caused by pramipexole
I have had RLS and PLMD as long as I can remember. I’m sure all of those nights I struggled with symptoms as a child that were brushed off as growing pains…RLS. My mom suffers mildly. Unfortunately, both of my daughters also have many challenges that began as teens. What I’ve been through is so complex

TSH slowly creeping back up.
I’ve been here before (the forum) but lost all my logon details so I’ve re-registered. I’m hitting the usual brick wall with my GP, so I’ll try once more before I do something I’m unhappy about,but I’m getting desperate. Briefly, my TSH is slowly increasing. By which I mean that my most recent results

Thyroid, HRT
2 weeks ago I rang my GP in desperation, I told him I can't go on feeling like this, I asked to try HRT again, he asked what levo I was on was it 100mg, I said no I had increased it, he said he could stop my medication if I was increasing it without him saying I could.He wanted another blood test and

update on cervical stenosis
To those lovely people who responded to my post about my husband’s cervical stenosis diagnosis, then I’ve got an update for you. We had the meeting with the neuro surgeon last week and he’d met with the MDT. Without saying it in so many words, the consensus was that the surgery couldn’t guarantee my

Ferritin Questions
Hi everyone. I self inject b12, 3x per week. I also take a daily dose of methylfolate. In the past both of these have been extremely low, along with very low ferritin. Of late I have wondered if my iron was dropping, so requested bloods a couple of weeks ago. Folate happily is pretty good at 19( at

Clear liver on ultrasound but GGT and other markers rising.
Late 50s female, and TBH, I've always enjoyed wine. The whole dining experience thing and decompressing from a stressful job, wine has, in the past, helped. However, In the autumn of last year, I developed a pain in my right side. I went to the DR. Bloods revealed a GGT of 148. The GP told me to cut

Any advice, post angiogram
I have a relative, currently 67 years of age. At age 36 had 3 angioplasties done, at age 55 had quintuple bypass and now at age 67 recently had an angiogram. Family history 9 siblings all have high cholestrol. Father deceased from colon cancer at age 41 too long ago didn't test for cholestrol. Mother

Post OHS lung issues with cold
Hi all. I’m post OHS, 6 months ago. Have noticed after walks in the cold a grim chest ache, normally goes after an hour or so. Yesterday was outside for a good couple hours, ambling 3 miles in the cold. “ lung pain “ persisted overnight and into today. Does this ring any bells for anyone after

Colon cancer after CLL diagnosis

How Do Those on T3 or Combo Therapy Navigate TSH Obsessed Doctors
After my pitiful NHS results in December ( before starting self sourced T3) my GP increased my Levo to 200mcg a day. I haven't been taking that much, obviously as I'm taking 150mcg of Levo and 12.5mgs of T3. The GP I spoke to said retest February and unfortunately my surgery have been uncharacteristically

Zoladex experience
Just wanted to hear other people's experiences on Zoladex if possible because I don't know if my symptoms are all in my head or I'm just being made to feel that way by the consultant. Who's only advice every time I go for a review every couple of months day just keep going with it a little bit longer

Return of the Duck. The Saga Continues.......
Good morning guys and gals.Hope everyone is as well as they can be. Well, here's the promised update from a couple of years ago but to be fair, nothing much had happened on the heart surgery front, I'd been in nsr and I have still been contributing replies. Settle down with a strong drink of choice,
