Very high cholesterol is it linked to an under active Thyroid?
I have asked for a blood test and it's come out at 9,5. I have been getting palpitations lately they hay checked my Thyroid and my levels are fine. I am just concerned because I can't understand why it is so high. I know I'm over weight but I don't have a high fat diet and I walk between 3 and 4 miles

Cialis blues
Severe muscle cramps nighttime in my legs have recently been wrecking my sleep. After reading up, I discovered that pain in legs can be a side effect of tadalafil/ cialis. After quitting, the cramps rapidly receeded and after less than a week no longer appear. I had been taking 5 mg daily for 4-6 months

EC 1mg pred??
I have recently managed to taper to 4mg which means taking all plain tablets. I have had an increase in indigestion/slight heartburn since doing this. I have 3 questions. Is it possible to get 1mg ec? - I'd be willing to pay (if not ridiculous price) If I take some gaviscon (already take 20mg omeprazole

cataract
Hi all, I realise cataracts are commonplace from Steroid use . I’ve had one for years, possibly from a childhood eye injury. It’s now becoming a problem , affecting my sight. It’s Encapsulated, not as straightforward. My main concern is healing. It took a year for my leg to heal. Do you advise

stage 4 endo
hi all, I’m 20 and just been diagnosed with stage 4 endo. My endo specialist has given me a couple of options. Either take norethisterone and see how that goes or surgery for excision. I want a family and he said some women can conceive naturally and others need help. I just wondered what other people

Floundering
Good morning everybody, I am floundering again I had my first appointment with an NHS rheumatologist after waiting a year. I have previously seen a private one. I have been taking Hydroxy for 10 months but the new Rheumy said my RF had increased so I needed another DMARD as I am unable to take MTX due

Blood in syringe
Hi all Just a quick question to those who self inject please. I've just given myself my peg shot, and when I removed the syringe, I noticed that there was blood inside it even though I didn't pull back the syringe in any way while injecting. I did get a bit of blood collecting on my skin after removing

Update
Hi everyone, I promised to let you know any updates. I went to audiology and ENT yesterday, had a hearing test then seen a specialist nurse then a consultant. I’m afraid I need a cochlear implant, my hearing is very poor now in my left ear, they think the cause is my sensorial hearing loss suddenly just

NHS London statement on Synnovis ransomware cyber attack
I am posting this using the NHS' own website version - it is covered across news sites as well. It seems it is having a major impact on blood tests - which might immediately affect some members. As well as the rest of the impact. [i]

GCA and Elevation
I have had PMR for 5 years and was diagnosed with GCA in September of 2023. I presently am on 4mg of prednisone. I am feeling good and continue to be pretty active and just turned 70 year old. I walk at least 3 miles a day, bike long distances and kayak. I plan on taking a hike up to 10,000 feet

Safe eye makeup
I'm a 69 y/o female taking Lumigan eye drops for dx of Glaucoma suspect and IOP (took Latanoprost drops previously but my pressure was increasing a bit so changed drops). My pressures have been pretty consistent at 17 in both eyes, so I feel pretty lucky right now. I had a S/P LPI procedure in 2012 (

diagnosis
Hi all, I’m new here just wanted to come somewhere for a bit of support! I haven’t yet been formally diagnosed, my consultant ‘suspects’ Endometriosis and the next step is a Laparoscopy. Has anyone else been through the wringer trying to get seen? It’s taken me years to get this far and I’m emotionally

feeling desperate.
Ok so I am hopefully going to be starting injecting every other day soon (possibly end of this week), but can’t just yet and I don’t know how to cope. I ain’t sleeping, I am peeing loads and have terrible bladder pain. Dr Klein says this does happen to some people. But I have also started seeing things

Varicose veins and returning to running after injury
I have varicose veins and have not done long distance running since January this year. I have been riding my bike 120 km per week to keep cardio fitness up. Just wondering would it be ok to come back to running yet? I have not had surgery and don't intend to get surgery. Would it be ok to get back to

Shocked to learn how badly
