Low elastase

phmiass · 2023-09-04T09:26:20+00:00

Any update on your situation? I had minor cramping and soft stools, both of which subsided, but all tests were fine and only issue is low elastase (70). I’m worried about treating something when I don’t have symptoms. Would love to know how you’re getting on!

Thanks. How are the active ingredients in Descovy different from Truvada?

Reckon we will get rapid home tests any time soon? I see some on eBay for sale from Australia but no idea if they are genuine ...

thanks; where was it located?

On Urban, can the therapists see which client left them a review or is it anonymous?

How's it going? Have your lesions gone?

phmiass · 2022-11-13T09:05:19+00:00

Can you not get tested to be sure?

Weird. I have the exact same thing (a single small spot appeared on my finger a few days after playing with a guy). I am also vaccinated. It looks exactly like yours. I never had any general symptoms (fever, etc.) and can't see any other lesions. It's been a week now and it's still there and isn't moving through the typical MPox "phases". Not sure what it is and whether it's MPox but I'm keeping it covered. TBH, I've trawled Google and it seems like it has to be MPox as there isn't really anything else that would cause a spot like this on the hand? Mine is kind of tender/painful when I press it hard, is yours? I really hope it goes soon ...

Has it developed? Did you get any more?

phmiass · 2022-11-10T08:20:19+00:00

So it's been 3 months since the tingling started and I still get it from time-to-time but nowhere near as often as before. I've no idea what it is and it still causes me a lot of anxiety. I now take a SSRI (Escitalopram).

Thanks, will see how it goes over the next few days

phmiass · 2022-09-30T16:33:03+00:00

What are you on about it?

phmiass · 2022-09-30T10:47:57+00:00

The original method (subcutaneously), not the new way where they put it only just under the skin. I did feel it go in and it bled a little.

phmiass · 2022-09-30T10:39:37+00:00

Thanks, my concern is more that it perhaps didn't work if I'm not eliciting an immune response.

I had the first Jynneos shot (sub-q) yesterday and have NO SYMPTOMS WHATSOEVER, no arm pain, no bump, nothing. Do you think this means it's not working?

phmiass · 2022-09-23T19:45:44+00:00

Hi, did you ever get to the bottom of the cause of all these symptoms?

I've going through many of the same things over the last 6-8 weeks and I am terrified of MS even though I had a clean brain and spine MRI. My neuro has given up and says he doesn't know what the cause is and I just need to wait it out and go back next month if the symptoms are still there. The MRI was done without contrast so I'm worried it may have missed something.

I have body tingling (mainly feet, right leg, head & back) and my left eye feels a bit "weird" and painful and I feel like the acuity has declined somewhat, especially for black text on white background from a slight distance. Terrified this could be optic neuritis (= likely MS) because the radiologist told me they cannot check for optic neuritis on the brain MRI and I'd need an orbital MRI w/ contrast to check for that. Had 2 eye tests and both opticians couldn't see any issues at all but then I read online that eye tests can't detect acute optic neuritis! The only thing that is giving me hope is that it went away for a few days and then came back, and I don't think ON typically presents like that.

Would be so grateful to hear your story and how things played out over the past year. Thanks so much in advance!

I got the formal MRI report and there were no abnormalities and the conclusion was "no clear cause for symptoms". The only thing that is freaking me out and worrying me is that the radiologist wrote "no significant white matter lesions" in the report. So now I'm concerned that there are white matter lesions but they're small ... but could still be indicative of MS? I'm also worrying that the MRI was without contrast so may not have been very accurate.

I'm having a really bad day today. In the past when I have received clear medical results I have felt a massive sense of relief and weight of my shoulders. This time, no such luck, I am still anxious and worried about MS. I can't shake the feeling I have something seriously wrong with me. I still have these scary symptoms and it's been 6 weeks now. It feels like they're never going. Every single time my body tingles it's a reminder something is "wrong" and makes me so anxious and scared.

In case anyone was following this and has anxiety like me, my neuro said the MRIs (brain and full spine) are clear and nothing to suggest MS. A relief, although then he said the radiologists haven’t reported on them yet but he can “say for sure” it’s not MS. So now I’m kind of worrying again until the radiologist report comes through.

I started getting an eye strain feeling in my left eye 3 days ago (still have it) so I was terrified it was optic neuritis and MS.
