My GCA Update
I just got done with my MRIs and MRAs, so we’ll see if results show much. My blood test came back with sed rate normal (always has been) and C-reactive prrotein headed down. It went from normal in PMR, to 1.3 and then 2.0 in GCA. Now at 0.8, so barely high and heading in the right direction. Still feeling

Left side gut pain above and left of the belly button with belching and gas
I have a scope done by a gi doctor 2 years ago. Result was mild gastritis and biopsy came back fine. I fought pain, bloating, and belching for almost a year straight every day. Gi dr had me do a breathe test and i failed it for bacteria. I took meds every other 2 weeks for 2 months. Everything finally

Intermittent Fasting Could Put Type 2 Diabetes Patients into Remission
The prevention or management of type 2 diabetes by following a calorie-restricted diet is not a new idea. There are now dozens of doctors' Youtube presentations on how to reverse T2D by simply cutting the carbs. Now, research from China shows it could be possible for people with type 2 diabetes to

Severe COPD and cataracts.
Hello Everyone, I had my eyes tested recently and the optician told me I had cataracts. He said, ‘you do know you can’t have the operation?’ Which I didn’t. From what I can find out it’s because I can’t lie ‘supine’ or flat on my back and also because of the increased possibility of coughing. I

Reaction to trabeculectomy
I'm 66 and it was decided that as drops were no longer controlling pressure, I needed to have trabeculectomy in both eyes. Had first op last summer but had a toxic reaction resulting in my eye being closed, severe reaction to light as well as constant irritation. 11 months later eye still not fully open

Eye Drop Prescription Bottles don’t last 4 weeks
Hi, just wonder if anyone else has a similar problem. I take Brinzolamide twice a day in one eye and Travapost at bedtime. The Brinzolamide only ever lasts me 3 weeks although prescription says it should last for 4 weeks. Maybe because I am more concerned about getting a good dose each application. I

ET /Hydroxycarbamide Low JAK2 levels
Morning everyone, Help! I was diagnosed with ET in 2013 and my platelet levels were stable and under 600 during this time and I just took asprin. When I reached 60, after much discussion, I began a low dose of Hydroxy to counteract the increased risk of clotting due to my age. JAK2 was confirmed at

low stomach acid
I believe that I have low stomach acid. I can’t find old posts about this, but I know it’s quite common among hypothyroid people. So I’m wondering if anyone has had this, and found a cure for it. I’m currently taking Betain HCL with pepsin, and it’s helping. However, I’m hoping I don’t have to take

UK - Liver Resection
I'm having my liver resection on Friday 18th August to remove HCC and I'm just falling apart. I'm so scared and nervous. I feel sick, I'm bloated (from stress), I feel I have no desire to eat properly so I'm eating the wrong foods. I'm getting heart burn too. I'm convinced it's all anxiety related to

Pegasys issues
Hi everyone previously I had told you that I was having Sjogrens symptoms while on Pegasys. I stopped it and saw a rheumatologist. She was very dismissive. She told me to just look up my own results on the portal and because she was convinced, without seeing any results that i do not have Sjogrens.

Supplements working?
Been having these thoughts for a while. I have spent and continue to spend a lot of money on supplements. How do I know if they are working? I've tried things such as Tudca and citicoline, B1 and melatonin, all of which I stopped. Why? I just felt them to be ineffective(?) and not worth the expense

Tinnitus and high dose inhaled steroids
Does anyone know of research into high dose inhaled steroids and tinnitus. I have heard anecdotal evidence from people with asthma, but haven’t found anything online. I’d be interested because my tinnitus came on very suddenly and coincided with a change to higher dose steroid inhaler. Thank you!
