I'm new here, but not new to PMR
It's encouraging to me to hear how you all are coping with PMR. My 1st bout with PMR was 13 years ago, I was in my mid 50's. Pretty much text book case....on steroids for two years. This time starting, 15 months ago and starting taking prednisone since April last year. Taking the usual, AA and Adcal-D3

Blood results - Vitamin D deficiency
Hi all many thanks for all the help in the past which made me ask for the additional blood tests and to my doctors surprise I have a Vitamin D deficiency and that was very low. I'm a bit concerned about some of the other low results (including TSH) and would welcome your feedback. Although my doctor

Bloating and discomfort and Rash on face around mouth.
Hi. Can anyone help as I've been struggling with bloating and discomfort for around a year now and think maybe. Got tested privately for a blood test on foods and found a reaction to dairy so I've come off dairy a year ago and still feel the same. I eat really healthy and watch what I eat. 5 months ago

Vitamin D3 deficiency
I've just had Dr on phone telling me I am Vitamin D deficient. He said my levels were under the NHS lab of 30 (which he says is their range for deficient) and they didn't even register. He is prescribing me 3200 D3, which after reading posts on here, I feel is not enough. I asked him if I should take

What would you do?
Brothers: Two pelvic lymph nodes, tumor burden in one, was 2.7cm, in the other it was 2.5cm. Now, one year later, with only 150mg daily of casodex monotherapy, both nodes have been reduced to 1.6cm. PSA one year ago was 105; now it is 6.7 I am thinking of adding Advodart and monitoring the two nodes

What should I ask for?
I will try to keep this short! I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency in March 2016, had 6 loading doses (which worked fantastically for five weeks), begged my doctor for more, wrote a letter to the practice citing guidelines, etc, got nowhere, so started self injecting every other day in June.
