PMR - Tales of the Unexpected
I’d been suffering with what I thought was a severe PMR flare for weeks and weeks (very stiff leg muscles and sharp cramps especially in the thighs). I was of 5mg Prednisolone daily and was hoping as with past incidents it would settle down and things would return to normal. It didn’t so I eventually

Stopping ezetemibe
1 year post NSTEMI and stent and finally had a call from cardiologist. Basically all fine thankfully. They said I could stop ezetemibe but stay on 40mg atorvastatin. Bit confused as NHS website says ezetemibe is for life. My cholesterol numbers are good ( LDL 1, ratio 1.9, total 2.5, triglycerides 0.4

Angry after GP appt
I feel so angry after seeing the GP this morning about other blood tests. It was again not my GP, I am going to start asking only to see my GP so I know what I am dealing with. We ended up discussing my thyroid symptoms and he kept circling back to "we shouldn't discount what the mind can do" and "it

Levo taken at night
Need to book with Medichecks...last test with them I was taking my Levo 100mg in the mornings. Some months ago I changed to evenings...it suits me better as I can take it at a certain/the exact time as previously it sometimes became a bit haphazard. Question...last test I had to miss the morning one

Endocrinologist won't medicate me?
My results are:TSH 2.3 (0.3-5.0) down from 5.32 T3 4.2 (3.5-5.8) down from 5.6 T4 11.2 (7.00-20.0) up from 8.6 Could this be from taking a month of supplements (recommended here, so thank you) & I'm now doing ok because of that? I'm still symptomatic (less so) I don't know?? Ultrasound & blood
