Maybe every inhabitant should have lots of allergy tests and other beneficial tests to have the results stored. When a patient arrives at hospital, just bring up the relevant information and the Cardiologist will have the answers at his fingertips immediately. With computers in every home, it seems odd that we have so little information about a person when it's too late.
I only know of getting the iv HC in the UK from one doctor... He set up a diabetes pump with solu-cortef and set the pattern to be more like a normal diurnal rhythm.
Prednisone is long acting and can have long term side effects. You may want to up sodium first? Unless you can get in the UK study.
I am panhypopituitary too with no adrenals. I am on dex, worse than prednisone.
2nd you said you are in the UK and others on this site have described issues with the national health care in the UK and getting proper treatment so you are going to have to be VERY patient and persistent and you may have to do a lot of educating of yourself.
Next I would ask if at all possible to get a copy of the blood lab results. In the USA the Dr's must by law provide the patient with a copy but I don't think that is true in the UK.
His example is of an anonymous patient who tested negative for dairy intolerance or allergy, but if that patient were to drink a glass of milk in front of the doctor for the doctor to see with his own eyes, the patient would still have a reaction to the milk. So, the tests are simply a guideline, but you still have to go with your gut feeling for what is right for your body.
I might suggest that you do some research regarding thyroid issues, then go to your doctor armed with information. If they know the patient knows what they need, the doctor will sometimes provide better care. We can try to answer some of your questions here.
Thank you both. I did ask ILADS but they say they don't give recommendations. It's personal recommendation and patient experiences I am looking for. Yes, I'm in the UK but it appears that some UK patients are travelling to the USA if they can afford to as the treatment is superior to anything on offer in the UK or even Europe.
It talks about lyme disease and how many people in the UK have been misdiagnosed as having CFS/ME, when they actually had lyme instead !

I have been diagnosed, by a consultant allergy specialist within the UK, as having severe allergy to the allium family. My syptoms are mainly neurological and respiratory but I have noticed that this last anaphylactic episode has left me with GI symptoms as well. I am inhaltion sensitive making management of this allergy difficult. I carry 4 epipens, anti histamine and steroids at all times. I also take Fexofenadine and Montelukast tablets daily.
Skin testing is the best method for diagnosing a penicillin allergy. If found to be allergic, the main treatment is avoidance of future use of amoxicillin and related antibiotics. Other groups of antibiotics with the same efficacy, may be used to treat the infection. Amoxicillin's efficacy is not affected even if you have allergies to this drug. It is discontinued due to the allergic symptoms manifested by the patient.
Hello,
The symptoms that you are describing can be due to cold allergy .In this swelling,itching and hives may develop after exposure to cold. To check whether your husband is having it or not,pls get a cold allergy test done from an allergy specialist. Cold urticaria is diagnosed by holding an ice cube against the skin of the forearm for 1 to 5 minutes. A distinct hive should develop if a patient has cold urticaria.
I am allergic to Wheat (i have not done allergy test but i noticed the last two year that after eating bread or pasta i get spots all over my head which turn into a rush-blood test showed that it is not fungus causing this reaction ) and the only thing that helps is this medicine. I would say it is a bit impossible to avoid wheat based food completely. The only effect i have noticed so far is nausea only when i do not eat anything before i take the medicine.
Diagnosis is done by skin patch test or blood tests for allergy. MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) test is a blood test that is confirmatory for metal allergy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
In fact, an independant study run in the UK showed omega
raised cholesterol levels in some people. The average cholesterol level in switzerland is higher than in the UK and yet the UK suffers far more heart disease. The French eat far more saturated fats than the english and again the english suffer far more heart disease.
The best diet is monkey food. Eat lots of fruit, nuts, vegetables and some protein.
The biggest thing to avoid in your daily diet of life is STRESS.
On quick review of its home page as well as the links provided by matthew589, it appears to be a high quality resource, based in the UK. However, it is designed primarily for HIV infected people with questions about treatment and living with HIV/AIDS, not those who have been exposed and are concerned about becoming infected. Still, it has accurate information about how HIV is transmitted -- and most important for many users of this forum, how it is NOT transmitted, e.g.
I have been trying to post in the titanium dental implant allergy section but failed last time. I have several implants in my upper jaw which I am desperate to have removed as I have felt unwell for over 8 years since having them placed. I live in the uk and would like to find someone in the London area who could help me. I cannot believe i did this to myself and so wish I still had a denture.
