I took tablet lagosa one every day for high liver enzymes and at now these are nirmal

Thanks, can you do a more detailed video on retuximab? I turned it down because I wasn't informed properly and made the decision based on fear.

Hi Isabellem thanks for the video! Do blood tests to see cytokines levels help to pick which drug to use?

Thankyou for this. You have a beautiful smile.

Good evening, Doctor. I wonder if you could answer a question for me at some point? My wife and I were on a short cruise recently. Prior to it I had had a bit of stress going on and I was feeling a bit down as a result. My consultant had thought I was in remission but I had a short-lived GPA flare in my sinuses while I was away. I had a couple of small nosebleeds at its worst. It seems only to have lasted a couple of days and now my nose feels clear again and I’ve stopped producing tiny dots of blood as I blow my nose *even without medical intervention.” How unusual is that? Keith

Thanks for this. Is this also true for PsA? I have been blessed with an early diagnosis and am currently starting Otezla.

This is so interesting that you said speckled pattern is usually pathogenic because mine came back - Dense fine speckled pattern. And the lab result says at the bottom "this pattern is seen in normal individuals and rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), Sjogren's syndrome and systemic sclerosis." Quest Diagnostics seems to be misinformed...! :(

I really enjoy your videos; they are very informative. Could you talk about treatments for mild lupus?

Straight poison. Shame on the medical community

hi，can I take folic acid first? then next day i take methotrexate

Wish these medical videos got to the fundamental or true core cases of all these diseases other than "inflammation". What causes the inflammation?? Diet? Genetics? Toxic water or toxic air? Inflammation is kind of a cop-out or throw away cause. I'd be a true service to your suffering patients if you really spent your energy, time and resources finding out cause and prevention, then sharing that instead of pills, drugs, meds, meds, meds.

Too bad the French accent is so strong, I can't really understand a lot of words said until I finally turned on the captions and, still, that was not 100%. Still had to repeat some sentences multiple times.

What test because i need tested

Very informational and Please kindy make also for negative anca associated vasculitis Silent viewer here and God bless

I hate my life now. Thanks medical community.

I'm grateful that you took the time to explain the logic behind the treatments. I'm finally establishing with a rheumatologist at the end of this month and have been overwhelmed thinking about treatment options. I've previously been prescribed Cymbalta for depression and migraine, but if I didn't take it at the same time every day, experienced withdrawals within an hour. Is there a longer acting alternative?

Did not work for me, I had to stop as I had too many severe side affects

lol! Fame at last! I’m here, watching on catch-up.

What are the treatments for lupus If hydroxychloroquine and dapsone give the patient bad side effects?

Have you been dealing with back pain that just won't go away?

Have you experienced lung issues while managing Rheumatoid Arthritis?

Have you or a loved one been affected by sarcoidosis?

Have you ever experienced heel or tendon pain? What treatments have worked for you?

Do you experience joint pain, especially at the end of the day?

Have you ever received a positive ANA result and felt confused about what it means?

Have you ever experienced persistent eye pain or blurry vision?

Thanks for bringing attention to this disease. Your other videos have been really helpful, and I've gone to my GP and other specialists, armed with the information from you. I have been waiting to see a rheumatologist for so long now, and I feel like I am speeding to going off the deep end mentally.

In my 30’s, I was getting shooting pain in my joints, not related to any injury and my feet were swelling in the evening. I had an office job, so was not on my feet much during my work day. I went for blood work many times while the rheumatologist tried to narrow down what was wrong with me. It was a process of elimination and at one point narrowed it down to rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Another round of tests eliminated arthritis, which left Lupus and I did fit into enough categories of symptoms. So my treatment plan was based on me having Lupus. I always tested positive for ANA. For years after I continued to test positive for ANA. Jump forward, I moved back to where I was born - no longer on municipal water, on our own well and I felt better and stopped taking medication prescribed. I wondered whether treated water was part of the problem I had. In my late 40’s I was starting to get aches and pains again so my GP referred me to a rheumatologist to get me back on track with Lupus treatment. I had a consultation with the Rheumatologist and she suspected I might have mixed autoimmune disease. She sent me for bloodwork. Nothing showed up in the blood tests to indicate that I had an autoimmune disease. I no longer had positive ANA result. She determined I did not treatment from her and that was the end of that. I did not advocate for myself any further, but I am in my mid-50’s now and I still believe I have something wrong with me but no idea what. How can I get a doctor to investigate further?

Reply ❤🙏

The best Dr ever! She knows her stuff and is able to explain in an easy to understand manner. 🎉

Good afternoon, Doctor. This is a subject close to my heart because I undoubtedly have GPA vasculitis but have never had more than a weakly positive result for ANCA PR3. Thanks for talking about it. Keith.

Thank you for the concise summary of foods to eat !!

Hi, Doctor. I’ve seen my consultant today and she’s delighted with my recovery from GPA vasculitis. I’m off steroids, my ANCA is zero and has been for months. Now all I have is osteoarthritis in my wrists and, to a much lesser extent, in my knuckles and knees. It still makes me smile when I think back to my diagnosis when I was asked what I did for work. “Engineer.” I said. “What did you expect then?” All said with a grin. Humour has helped me along the way.

LOSE THE BLOODY MUSIC !!!!!!!!

If Humira doesn't work, what biologic do you find the most helpful for enthesitis?

I just about cried when you described the symptoms of the first patient. I am trying to find a private rheumatologist in Western Australia, as my hospital doctors just pick and choose my symptoms, to fit what they think is going on. I started getting autoimmune symptoms 20 years ago, but in the last nine years, i have become progressively worse. When the ear pain starts, i can't touch anywhere in that area. It feels like the inside of my ear is crunching and twisting. I can't wear my glasses or headphones (i can't wear earbuds at all). My eyes feel gritty are sore most mornings, and i suffer from chronic fatigue and brain fog. I have heaps of other symptoms, and my doctors are going with Lupus or Sjrogens disease. I'm at my wits end, and feel like my life is slipping away from me.

I can’t understand the names of the drugs…especially the antidepressant

Looking Good

Im terrified of taking methotrexate because I have stomach issues and IBS, any advice?

I have PM SLE. I so appreciate in depth discussions regarding the immune system. Thank you!

Hi! I think my previous comment got deleted for link. I love your channel and your office referred me to an amazing pediatric rheumatologist for my daughter! I was wondering if you could do a video on the some of the really new breakthrough treatments in clinical trials right now like: Revolobio… com 1805 and 1104 that claims to put autoimmune disease in remission with one injection. Also the Inverse vaccine looks promising. And Car T therapy for autoimmune. This one is looks really cool but it’s very risky and I hear the cost is astronomical. Would love your thoughts 😊

Hi again, I forgot to include this latest treatment for AS!! This looks amazing. Would love your thoughts: th-cam.com/video/Mko2lATSHK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=caw2Mv0FXV92Cj1o

Yes, your excitement and enthusiasm really shows through!

Colchicine makes me weak and prednisone wrecked me. NSAIDs are terrible for the heart. Easier said than done to treat attacks safely. Trying for months to get on Allopurinol and standard flare treatments harmed me greatly.

Are you sure Folic acid every day, not one a week? Next Right after MTX? Because my doctor prescribed it once a week, like MTX. Grazie per I’ll tuo lavori.

Music is too loud!

So interesting! I’d love if you could do a similar video but for link between IBD and arthritis. You are great at explaining things so well ❤
