He had had daily episodes of AF since and 4 weeks ago his acid reflux gerd came back along with a persistent cough. And breathing difficulties

Drop in FT4 and FT3 but no change in meds.... confused!
Evening everyone, its been a while since I've been on here. Hope everyone is well? I have an appointment next week with my Endo and as he always does he sends me for bloods a few weeks before, for some reason this time they forgot to do the FT3 and he wanted to check my morning cortisol too, so he sent

Cortisol levels
Well, I had the short synathacen test two weeks ago and a call from the rheumatologist on Monday. Apparently it was 368 after 30 minutes and 438 after 1 hour. The rheumatologist was bit downbeat about that result saying he was hoping for 450 plus, and also saying that it 'might come back' but also seemed

Waking from sleep with upper abdominal pain for hours at a time
Does anyone have experience of this? Any advice very welcome. I wake from sleep with a slight discomfort, it builds and builds until I have to stand up very straight just to get a tiny bit of relief. Crouching and slow shuffling around also helps very slightly but sitting or lying down is excruciating

Atorvastatin
Ive found that taken at night my dose causes morning headaches which are not alchol related!! Taken in the morning with other meds causes no adverse effects, well at least nothing noticable. I also take steroids & inhaler for copd and Amlodipine for raised BP along with Omeprazole for gut protection

Another round of departments
I've joined several boards on here: initially PMR because that's what was diagnosed first, then the Lung board because after I saw the rheumatologist in January this year for the first time he said he'd like to try me on methotrexate but wanted a clear chest x-ray first - and that's when the fun really

Synacthen Test Results
Hi everyone, just looking for some clarification on a Synacthen test I've had. Bit of background, 36M, pretty healthy in terms of diet, exercise, sleep etc. No medications. I've been suffering for a few months with fatigue, heart palpitations. Seems to get a lot worse after exercise. Checked cortisol

Asthma flare up any advice?
First time poster! Just looking for any experiences from other members. I had asthma as a child, seemed to resolve. Seemed to possibly develop again in 2018 following a chest infection and diagnosed in 2020 triggered by mould in a property I was living in! I currently take clenil 100 mcg twice a day

Four months after finishing pred and despite TCZ, I can now hardly move. Pain can only be expressed with the rudest possible words, as you all know, and sleep is difficult, . I've never got rid of the deathly fatigue. GP is writing to consultant to try to bring forward the next appointment and has given

Alternative strategies for dealing with PMR
Are there any examples out there of PMR sufferers who’ve managed the condition without steroids? …and if so, what were they, and how long did it take! And information would be welcomed, be they successful or otherwise.
