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

weird raised big veins in feet and legs both
Every time I go to this surgery I feel like it’s a total waste of time - I asked for a
ck
blood
test
as I had read about a condition called rhadbo only because I googled pictures that looked similar to my veins in my feet sigh - I ended up pouring my heart out over my anxieties of taking all these

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

Assistance with T3 source please
Hi would appreciate if anyone can assist with a reliable T3 source please. Ideally I am looking for tabs that I can split into small doses i.e. 5cmg as extra T3 to take (and titrate slowly upwards) alongside my morning dose of T4/T3. Posting this in line with the moderators rule of this forum below

Is it B12 anemia? I’m confused.
Hello all, I’m new here and not sure if I need to pursue some concerns I have with my health so wondered if anyone could possible give me some advice/guidance. I’ve always been tired, (it’s a family joke!), struggled with gut issues (mainly constipation), and in the last 5 or so years had terrible brain

breathless when hypothyroid?
I am currently “dysthyroid” as my gp puts it. Briefly - diagnosed with hypothyroid disease in 2016 (all antibodies negative). Since starting transdermal hrt in Jan my thyroid levels hv plummeted (result posted recently but roughly T4 7.2 (11-22) and T3 2 (3.2-6.8). These results are from when I was taking

Binding globulins...
Anyone got a good handle on these, please? The reason I ask is that I have had 3 months of increasingly debilitating fatigue. I take T3 only and was on 100mcg, which took me 70% through the range, I have also tried 125mcg which takes me well over the top, but still tiredddddd. I have tested cortisol

Levo with someprazole and bisoprolol
Is there any reason why I cannot take Levothyroxine at the same time as esomesprazole and Bisoprolol? I KNOW Levo should be taken an hour before anything else but just want to know if anything in these other meds would prevent thyroxine uptake. Thank you.

Semaglutide not working
My daughter recently restarted oral Semaglutide after not being able to take it due to its unavailability. It really helped when she first started it with weight loss and improved readings. Her recent Hba1c has Increased considerably, however, along with weight gain. Does anyone have any idea why this
