The steroid with zytiga can be a deal
My Dads new oncologist switched his steroid from prednisolone to dexamethasone - she was distressed at first appointment to see he was on zytiga and prednisolone. She said research pretty clear that dexamethasone is better. On today's PSA results she is clearly correct. We thought that he had become

Probiotics
Hi lovely people, Do you recommend taking probiotics and if so which brands? Doing research it seems the best would be ones containing Lactobacillus gasseri, is that correct? I'm currently taking daily supplements of folic acid, vitamin D, iron and Co-enzyme Q10. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Famotidine as a substitute for Omeprazole?
Hello friends, Has anyone been prescribed Famotidine to replace Omeprazole? I’ve been experiencing gut issues for several months now and my gp has suggested a change in H2 antagonist to see if the frequency symptoms resolve. The list of potential side effects on the PIL don’t inspire me to make the

Update
Hi everyone, I’m on a steroid taper of 10/5 daily so will be on 5 mg when I start Mycophenolate on 20th of this month, I’m starting on a low dose gradually increasing. Hopefully this will take away the inflammation and remove bilateral pleural effusion’s and pericardial effusion caused by Serositis as

ongoing chronic constipation.. ‘opioid bowel & interstitial cystitis… test results!
following months of waiting I eventually paid to see a private bowel surgeon. Worth every penny. She organised tests through NHS. Won’t bore with details- but I have a dysfunctional opioid bowel ( due to severe back problems). A large rectocele & possibly a cystocele I’m having a transit study…

BC Update with GP.
First I rang Macmillan and they thought it very odd my cancer had gone from high to low. So rang my consultants secretary and she was not there, the people in charge said they were not qualified to help. I saw my GP today and like myself had a letter with no details at the top, this matters because

EYE HEALTH: RELATIONSHIP OF PMR, PRED & MTX TO GLAUCOMA, CATARACTS, & DRY EYE
Hello everyone. Vacillated on a title for this post. I'll bet I covered it all. I've been on my hard PMR journey for 4+ years. Currently on 4mg Pred daily & 20mg MTX weekly. PMR pain is under control. My eyes have wept for the past 2 yrs; at times, non stop. Eyedrops are the common advice from my Optometrist

Ferrocalm
I started taking Ferrocalm about 18 weeks ago and suffered adjustment symptoms from day 1 which still persist. I have had severe intractable iBS-C for 10 years which has not responded to all allopathic treatments including Amitriptyline which didn’t work at 100mg at night! I was fully investigated

Considering orchiectomy due to chronic constipation from Orgovyx
I've been on Orgovyx for 33 months for metastatic prostate cancer. Constipation is a known issue with Orgovyx and it has affected me to some degree most of the 33 months. Earlier this year it seem to get more chronic and intractable. I'm also currently using a 37.5mg weekly E2 patch, up from 0.025 twice

Am I being blasé about stomach protectors whilst on Pred?
I have had PMR for 3 and a half years and generally feel lucky that I am not feeling as bad or fatigued as many on this forum. I am certainly not as fit as I was but age has a part to play. I am 75 and used to be able to do big hikes, Zumba and so on but can still walk 4 to 5 miles and have just moved

Could this be IBS-C or slow transit?
