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

Blood tests GCA
When bloods done for GCA should the ESR level and the Serum C reactive protein marker be tested.. The nurse seems to have stopped requesting the latter.

New blood test after speaking to a doctor about stomach problem.
Any help understand these blood works please. Would be helpful. I’d spoke to GP on Monday and she said she run blood test, and go for a scan as well to see what’s going on. Blood test came back the same day. (But used to this by now) but would be interested to know what is going on. Thanks for any
