OT calcium in the LAD on PSMA scan.
I am 56 yo s/p RARP with negative margins 1/2014, now with BCR, PSA .21. My urologist recommended psma scan. The scan was normal except for “calcium vs stents in the LAD”, I don’t have stents. Have you all seen this? How commonly do these scans detect other diseases?

What should I be doing about tapering prednisolone?
Hello again, good people. I posted a few weeks ago when newly diagnosed and have learned a lot from your advice but I think I need a bit more. I said then my GP wanted me to begin a taper from 15mg prednisolone after a month to 10mg. At 4 weeks on pred (last Thursday) I had bloods taken - ESR 8, CRP

We are in the UK, have now been told we have exhausted treatments under NICE guidelines and he’ll be offered pain relief under palliative care. He

an anniversary
hi! Today is the second anniversary of my heart attack. (Nstemi). From reading others’ posts, I’ve been quite lucky. I ended up with 5 relaxing days in hospital, during the pandemic, plugged into many wires, with lovely caring nurses, and an angiogram/ angioplasty which revealed two 80% blocked coronary

PMR confusion over drug timings
Hi, I have PMR and been taking prednisolone for about a year, trying to reduce and now on 9mg daily. I take Omeprazole in the early morning, before Pred. and then the calcium chew. I have seen on these posts recently that the calcium should not be taken near to the Pred as they do not react well with

blood pressure
I have coronary artery disease, two stents. I take Candestarten for high BP, had to stop taking Amlopodine as I was allergic to it, my BP is high at top and normal at bottom reading. Wondered if anybody knew of a Calcium Channel Blocker that has minimum side effects,

Thyroidectomy
Just had my thyroid removed two days ago. Had very sudden growth of nodules (over 5cm) and had large nodules on both sides. So only option was complete removal. Not sure what to expect now. Started on calcium and Euthyrox (100ug) (Levothyroxine). Feel OK, a bit buzzy and lightheaded but I guess that

Alendronic acid
Since my flair up I've now been on 15mg pred ( up from 7mg)for 3 weeks. Well, iv'e not felt this good in years. I can actually walk properly, walk with a stride and at a decent pace without feeling that my legs are bound by a resistance band. My energy levels are almost normal as some 4 years ago.

I am scheduled for my first injection in the morning . I read somewhere on here my calcium should be 10 or higher. Mine has been running the past 9 months between 9.8 and 9.2. Not sure what to do? Hugs to all of you, keep your fight going! Sharon

Gardening wobbles
Hello, Today I had to prune the rose bushes and the bush roses, in a terraced front garden. However, I was disappointed to find that it was hard going, because I felt weak,a bit unsure and a bit wobbly. I’m 77 but have seen older people gardening with gusto. I used to do a lot in the garden and last

Calcium, confused
Yes, many posts on calcium, to take or not to take. Tall Allen has posted research results on the efficacy and stated that calcium supplements are not necessary if your levels are correct from a blood test.My level of calcium in 2021 was low in spite of using a Mediteranean diet and no supplements. After

Video : How One Disease Changed What We Know About Medicine - Twice
This video (7 mins 21 secs) is about the discovery of vitamin D and its connection with rickets, and how this then turned into discoveries about the connection with calcium and then it starts getting a bit more complicated... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yL31wtijV4Q Since vitamin D gets mentioned

Zometa with or without Radium 223?
Hi I have done 1 year with Zometa alongside Docetaxel and more recently Radium 223. I'm halfway through the Radium 223 course but have been advised that after a year, Zometa has reached maximum effectiveness and should be stopped. After a rocky start I'm feeling much better and much less frail.

Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of Radium 223, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals. I'd be grateful for any experience or advice
