An unpleasant surprise....
Hello all, Following the sensible advice on this forum, I have been following a slow and cautious tapering of prednisone, and current at a very low dose of 0.75 mg/week (three 1/4 mg days and four days no Prednisone). My steps down per week were 0.25 mg/week. I have been feeling generally OK, so

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

Help with interpreting results
Hi everyone, would like your opinions on my latest results please, have had PMR 5 years next month. C reactive protein, 6mg/L (0.0-5.0) above high reference level and ESR 10mm/h (1.0-35.0) I don’t think I’ve ever been below 25mm ESR before. Just on week 4 reduction from 5 to 4-1/2 pred. I feel reasonable

Seeking Data ???
I am trying to collect information from men in a specific category. That category is men who have had a radical prostatectomy (RP) and thereafter experienced biochemical recurrence (BCR) and used proton beam therapy (PBT) radiation as the treatment following that BCR. I’d like to know several things

what’s next
Hi all. Diagnosed with PMR 5 weeks ago. Prescribed 20 mg of prednisone. Just received my follow up lab results. C-Reactive Protein dropped from 39.6 to < 3.0. Sedimentation rate from 18 to 6. See my GP on Monday to go over this. What can I expect? Commence prednisone tapering? If so, what are your opinions

These are the results of the blood tests I had done earlier this month. My doctor didn't tell me to fast beforehand, but thanks to advice from this site I had fasted for the previous 12 hours. The doctor has now told me that no action needs to be taken, but I note that one of the readings shows that

Fatty Liver - So worried
I gave up drinking about 3 years ago with some 'blips' along the way where I tried moderation which I absolutely know now does not work.
