Prednisone and Muscles
A concern stemming from the very few questions I was able to successfully ask of the new to me Rheumatologist without being sssshhh'd.... She ordered a Muscle Enzyme Creatine Kinase lab test be performed, as did my GP a month earlier and after comparing the results, it had dropped significantly from

Blood work
Hello all-just looked at my blood tests and sed rate is 11, creatine kinase is 50. Are these the correct tests? And are they showing elevated results? I know some of you have said the Pred could mask results.

PMR and CK
( creatine kinase blood
test
which shows muscle damage).My
CK
is only mildly elevated now. It is said that CK is NOT elevated with PMR. My question: has anyone had mildly elevated CK with their PMR? Because it does seem possible my pain might be PMR. Any comments appreciated.

Elevated Creatine Kinase (CK) on blood tests
I am due to see orthopaedic end of aug, but in a meantime did some blood
test
privately and my
CK
results came elevated CK 329 (ref range 26-140) result as at 14 Jul I am seeing a doctor separately for my hormones and she suggested that this may indicate Myositis, which upon researching, it seems

Cirrhosis but no change in bloodwork
Diagnosed with fatty liver 10 years ago. Recently had a CT done for kidney stones and it showed Nodular liver. I was shocked. The weird part is my blood tests over the last 10 years always came back normal or just slightly elevated AST/ALT so doctors never thought there was a problem. Even now my standard

GP insisting on using CRP & ESR as inflammatory markers...and managing to get a creatine kinase blood test ordered...legs are still an issue
Hello I was called in to my GP surgery yesterday, by one of the GPs, the letter indicating it was for a medication review. She's not one of the GPs I prefer to see, she can be a little vague etc. But we ended up going through my meds and she asked about steroids being on my repeat....I said that although

Case report: Rhabdomyolysis and kidney injury in a statin-treated hypothyroid patient-kill two birds with one stone
This case report has a good side: the patient did get diagnosed and treated. But that only follows the dreadful treatment - missing cause of high cholesterol, took statins, rhabdomyolysis, kidney injury. Claims to have been reversed. (I'd like to see the patient's opinion!) But questionable whether

For anyone who is on T3 only... When did you realise you needed it?
Hi everyone. I've been on a real journey since January with Hashimoto's. I started on levothyroxine and it made me feel a lot worse. I started seeing a private thyroid doctor who looked at my bloods and saw my T3 had dropped on levo, and with my symptoms she decided levo was not right for me and put

Atorvastatin
hello. Mr GP surprised me when I visited him for something else when he informed me I had high cholesterol (7.5) and prescribed 30mg of Atorvastatin daily. Within a few days bad side effects appeared. I became so tired and drowsy. If I sat down I fell asleep almost instantly. I got an extreme

Shall I raise my Levo
I’ve been on 115mcg of T4 now for around 3 months. For one month I did the carnivore/keto diet with a little T3 but it was so hard to stick to. I’ve been eating normally again with no T3 now for about 2-3 weeks. My levels are still quite low so I’m thinking of going up to 125mcg per day does this sound

1 year post diagnosis
I am a 54 yo male living in Vegas, I found out I was Jak2 positive last year, looked at labs before doctor and freaked. I have been having slightly higher RBC and Platelets for around 6-7 years. I used to donate blood pretty regularly and took testosterone, so the doctors kinda ignored it. I was a paramedic

T3 battles
I’m on T3 only, taking 30mcg in one dose daily. Spoke to the endocrinologist this morning and after explaining to her that the reason I don’t take levothyroxine is because it made me far worse she said she’s never heard anyone that’s happened to. I told her I currently have symptoms of being under medicated

Best way to take NDT
Hello, today is my first day taking NDT. I was on a T4/T3 combo for the last two years. I usually chewed my meds (T4, T3) and tried to grind them as much as possible with my teeth before drinking a glass of water. What is the best way to take NDT? Can I take it in the same way to ensure good absorption

Reverse T3, stress and temperature
hello. I am one of a few outliers here, not hashi, but some classic low thyroid symptoms eg loss of eyebrows, leg hair, and in bloods, poor converter and not high t3, and for me most telling, low temperature and heart rate. (i am not posting results today) People have suggested it is central hypothyroidism
