Experiences with

Syner-KINASE

Hello all-just looked at my blood tests and sed rate is 11, creatine kinase is 50. Are these the correct tests? And are they showing elevated results? I know some of you have said the Pred could mask results.

A concern stemming from the very few questions I was able to successfully ask of the new to me Rheumatologist without being sssshhh'd.... She ordered a Muscle Enzyme Creatine Kinase lab test be performed, as did my GP a month earlier and after comparing the results, it had dropped significantly from

Hello I was called in to my GP surgery yesterday, by one of the GPs, the letter indicating it was for a medication review.

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can help please. Over the last few months I have been experiencing increased muscle pain, especially in my legs. Stiffness and pain in my hips which then radiates in my thigh muscles. I have reduced mobility in my left hip. I am due to see orthopaedic end of aug, but in

This case report has a good side: the patient did get diagnosed and treated. But that only follows the dreadful treatment - missing cause of high cholesterol, took statins, rhabdomyolysis, kidney injury. Claims to have been reversed. (I'd like to see the patient's opinion!)

Hello I'm new to this site and to the world of PMR. Hoping to get some guidance from this lovely community. My GP has diagnosed me with PMR at 42 and I'm not entirely convinced as I don't fit the symptoms of aches and stiffness in the shoulders and hips. This all started in March 23 where I woke

I saw a professor who is on the ‘list’ he performed lots of tests. MRI all normal. Thyroid bloods in my profile from Nov jan TSH 0.58 and FT4 11.5 same ranges as previous. we went back to through my bloods since 2017 it seems my TSH and FT4 always waiver between 0.35-1 and FT4 no more than 12.

and I don’t like my Doctor. He kept cutting me off and kept saying everything is due to Migraines or COVID or premenopausal. Kinda being condescending. Like half the symptoms I said he would say oh we all have that! even me! For example: muscle twitching, stabbing pains everywhere,, shaking, Major fatigue

Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years
