GCA diagnostic dilemma
Thank you everyone who has helped so far. Last night I had a message from Rheumy saying I should go to the hospital for an emergency biopsy, with the headache and unusual severe temporal pain being the driver. He said that U/S was so ‘operator sensitive’ as to be unreliable in this ‘locality’. The

Follow up x-ray pneumonia
Hi everyone. I rang my surgery today to see if my follow up chest x-ray results were in. I had possible pneumonia diagnosed 4 weeks ago, apparently the 'possible' meant that the mass on my x-ray was tiny, anyway the surgery said my results were in and I had to make a telephone consultation appointment

something or nothing, blood in mucus
Good morning everyone, I am trying not to panic, I have had a normal cold for just over a week, as is usually the way I have ended up with mucus on my chest, so quite a bit of coughing, I had a fright this morning as the tissue was bloody, this has never happened before. This is my first cold since

Probiotics
Hi I've had ibs c for so so long. Over the years I've learnt what does and doesn't suit me with my diet. I'm now mainly ok in comparison but also as I've got older I get bouts of diarrhea which I know are from eating foods that don't agree with me. I had a fair amount of cream cake over Christmas I'm

Ophthalmologist Visit
I just wanted to report on the exam by the ophthalmologist today. He said everything looks good. Optic nerve looks fine. He agreed (with all of you!) that my visual disturbances are caused by the steroids. He recommended I talk to my optometrist about prism lenses that will help to correct the double

Affect of tummy upsets on anti-coagulants,
I was wondering what effect it has on the absorption of anti-coagulants, should something cause you to have diarrhoea - how long does it take after ingestion does it take something like an Eliquis tablet to become effective ?

Regular care
I was diagnosed with AF around four years ago now, by a cardiologist in a major teaching hospital. I was put on anticoagulants and referred back to my GP. The local surgery check my meds yearly and I have an annual blood test, but that’s it. I am wondering whether I should ask to be referred back to

GCA Eyesight Anxiety

(I do have myopia, and have never had any problem with close work, unlike most people my age, which is 65.) I was

Sleep aids
Hoping that people can pass on what they use to help sleep with T. Realise there are likely to be a number of replies through various posts, but be good to hear what works for people on this thread if possible. ..on another note are steroids likely to spike tinnitus? Just finishing a 5 day course prescribed
