rheumatoid arthritis
It’s been called arthritis but it’s not in joints but it’s a pain around my chest and back. X-ray and Ct scan have not reveal anything. GP says let’s try to control the pain first

Retinal thickness predicts worsening of Parkinson’s disease
The results showed that the retinal layer noticeably loses weight in patients with Parkinson’s disease. It was also noted that in the initial stages of the disease It is in the retina that the greatest neurodegeneration is found. and from a certain point, when the layer is already very thin, a kind of

I Had A Stroke
Last week I had an ischemic stroke. It affected my right leg and right arm/hand. I woke up to a heavy arm and heavy leg but my face, smile, and speech were unaffected. It got progressively worse throughout the day and I went to the ER 9 hours after I woke up. I should have gone to the ER right after

Anyone read much about Thyroid and Alzheimer's connection?
Found a few papers which suggest they are linked and I wondered what the treatment is for Alzheimer's? Brother just been diagnosed but I know his fT3 is low and he doesn't convert T4 well

radiation question, possible kidney stones.
my husband had SBRT (prostate, few spots on spine, and one rib) in August and November 2023 with no side effects. He recently had lab work and It showed blood in urine, high protein, and crystals. He had an ultrasound to rule out kidney stones and it showed nothing so he is now scheduled for a Uro CT

Test results confusing
My mum has had an underactive thyroid for years...alongside type 1 diabetes. She was told she wasn't having enough levothyroxine, so the doctor wanted her to put it up to 100, but she asked to go on 75, as she felt 100 would be too much. The doctor agreed. She had a blood test on the 7th December and

How Long To Discontinue 5-ARIs and/or Select Supplements to "Unmask" PSA?
Disregarding the discussion as whether to temporarily discontinue or not discontinue in fht efirst place... Purportedly some substances may "mask" PSA. I believe the general rule of thumb is on 5-ARIs like Avodart (Dutasteride) you are supposed to double the PSA reading to get the "real" PSA? In addition

Chronic Liver Disease Post Transplant
Hi, I had a liver transplant in October 2017 and apart from a little set back right at the beginning, meaning I was in Addenbrookes for 5 weeks, I have been really well. I haven’t even had Covid! However a couple of months ago, I had a CT scan which showed that I have chronic liver disease. To say

some suggestions - PCa websites?
Hey all: As I’ve mentioned before, I’m doing a comic about this experience. I want to have a short section at the end with websites that are good for learning about prostate cancer. I have room for a few more, and am looking for suggestions. Not an exhaustive list, but hoping for a useful list: Thanks
