Back up to 40 mg pred
I wrote here how I was down to 10mg pred in 4 months. You all said that was too fast and I didn’t want to believe you. My headaches were coming back so rheumatologist upped it to 15. It’s been 6 days and I still have headaches. Today he upped it to 40mg to get the inflammation under control. Both sed

Discussion: Vascular Calcification / bone disorder in CKD
Mortality in CKD is dominated by the cardiovascular domain. We will more likely die of a cardio related issue than anything else. We are the highest risk group of all groups for cardio related death. Death for cardio reasons is more likely than our progressing to end stages of the disease: "Expressed

Proton therapy vs IMRT?
Looked at studies - seem inconclusive as to any advantage for one over other. Some indications PT may have less side effects, maybe? Local radiation folks (Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) say have seen slightly more rectal bleeding from PT. Thoughts?

Prostate Cancer Care With No Rectum
First post here. This blog is somewhat intimidating; I'm in awe of members' knowledge of PCa treatments, and of all the abbreviations sprinkled throughout. I'm 78 years old, being treated at MSK--now on 4 months of Orgovyx; awaiting 20 proton treatments in NY in December. My journey started this spring

Return of PMR?
I was able to get down to 0 Prednisone after 28 months. It was my third attempt. Every was good until about a week ago (4 weeks since last Prednisone) when I started having morning shoulder pain and stiffness. It was gotten progressively worse, and now involves hips and knees. I was also on .4ml MTX

Your thoughts please on suggested levo and thyroid glandular regime
I’ve been complaining for ever about static weight, sleep issues and other niggles but since metavive had nucleotides added I noticed more niggles (or an exacerbation of) and actual weight gain and so I had to decrease the dose to the point where they just weren’t enough A few weeks ago I began phasing

Previous post a mess, so I’ve edited. GP phone consultation tomorrow. Please may I have help interpreting last two iron panel studies…
… Comments on thyroid and nutrient tests would be welcome too I have a phone consultation with GP tomorrow and because I don’t know what to make of my iron overload studies I don’t really to know what to ask her regarding re-testing. As you can see, apart from ferritin, which has dropped possibly due

Low or very low protein diets. If you've no uremia, will you obtain any benefit?
I had uremia at CKD3a/b (uremia =higher levels of urea than there ought to be present in your blood). I was at 13.5 when the normal range is 2.5 to 7.8 (thankfully, I'm now at 6.4 due to diet). Because I had uremia at CKD 3a/b, I assumed everyone else would have some sort of uremia at CKD 3a/b. When
