Elevated liver enzymes
Hi, my daughter has Graves and her latest blood test shows elevated liver enzymes, is this because she's on carbimazole. Prior to taking carbimazole her liver function was normal.

So started off with bloods showing CRP39 and ESR 68.Went onto 15mg of prednisalone and got immediate effect with tablets. I must say, i was not affected as much as some on here, just achy legs, shoulders, hips and neck, but didnt stop me doing anything. Just got fed up with the stiffness. Have cut

Carbimazole and taste loss
Hi, I'm new here and was just wondering if anyone else has experienced taste loss whilst on Carbimazole. I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in December and was put on 40mg at first. At the end of January I suddenly lost all taste. After a blood test at 6 weeks my endocrinologist halved my dose but

starting sober
Hello all. I realised I had developed a habit of drinking most evenings after work to unwind. What started as a glass of wine on a Friday and Saturday became 2 large glasses almost every night of the week. Having felt uncomfortable with this for a while it is only recently that I have decided things

Starting Third Month of Orgovyx--Update
Blood test after two months shows PSA of 1.45, down from 16.5--over a 90% drop. So, the medication is working as advertised. I believe their own stats indicate an approx. 98% drop in 90 days. This week's visit with my new MO nurse practitioner went well. She was very happy with the PSA results and

Pes Anserine Bursitis - steroid injection offered.
On Thursday I had an appointment with a rheumatologist who had previously been quite impatient and dismissive of me. I made up my mind to give him the briefest details of my woes over the last 9 months. (This is a 6 monthly appointment 😂). He was happy for me to continue with my slow tapering and then

Fibroscan – is it too early to be jubilant?
I do now feel like a fraud being here 😔 and my apologies to anybody here who feels I’ve created a storm in a teacup for myself and that I should clear the cyber waves for genuine issues. But in fairness to myself my GPs have been expressing serious concerns to me, I feel suggesting that I’m bound to

Decrease in levothyroxine again!!
Any ideas why for 8 weeks I’ll be on 100mg and then I’ll have blood test and I’ll have to be decreased to 75mg then 8 weeks later I’ll have a blood test and it will be put back to 100mg and now again it’s being decreased it’s so frustrating. I feel awful when on 75mg but they don’t listen to how I feel

New diagnosis of RA
I was diagnosed with RA approx 4 wks ago & started taking Methotrexate 15mg for past 2 wks followed by a blood test 4 days ago, my question is, am I supposed to receive the results of my blood test the same day as I have increased my dose (now on wk 3) without knowing whether my bloods are abnormal.
