Does anyone have experience with exposure to cold as a therapy?
In researching approaches to enhancing the sympathetic portion of the autonomic nervous system, I came across the concept of cold shock as a neuroprotective activity. Although it doesn't appear to be pleasant, I wonder if it might work. There is a protein under investigation as a therapy for accomplishing

What dosage of calcium supplement is recommended when on prednisolone?
I'm on 7.5mg of prednisolone. At my rheumatologists appointment today I advised him that I wouldn't be taking up his recommendation of Alendronic Acid despite having a very small amount of osteoporosis in my lower lumber region. I advised him that I was taking Caltrate which has 600mg calcium/200 IU

Folate deficiency
I recently started methotrexate and now after my first blood test it has been found I'm very low on folate so will need daily folic acid. Also caught a nasty cold and so am really struggling ... No energy...and now have to stop methotrexate until the cold goes.. not the best start to my new medication

Curcumin as an anti inflammatory
So many ask about tumeric’s ability to decrease inflammation, I thought this article would be of interest. It appears curcumin may actually be able to down regulate IL-6. I believe Actemra works by blocking IL-6. Maybe the stumbling block is the amount of tumeric needed? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Synarel and Utovlan together? - your experiences please!
Hi there, Does anyone have any experiences taking Synarel and Utovlan together. I've been on Synarel a month(along with Livial) but am still having periods. My wedding is in 3 weeks so my consultant has advised I can take Utovlan a week before to stop the bleeding on the day. I'm just a tad worried

Bad cold not getting better
A week ago I saw a friend who was recovering from a cold. You’ve guessed it! I caught the first cold I’ve had for several years. Not only that it’s worse than a sniffle, I’ve slept for most of two days and nights. I’m assuming it’s all down to my rubbish immune system. I’m beginning to think I’m mad

Association between dietary onion intake and subclinical hypothyroidism in adults: a population-based study from an iodine-replete area
What a very odd paper - which really doesn't get anywhere in terms of explanation. Nonetheless, it does raise my curiosity as to what might be happening and why. Pickled? Scallion? Raw? Cooked? Red, white or brown? [i]Endocrine. 2021 Jul 31. doi: 10.1007/s12020-021-02790-2. Online ahead of print.

Hello All, I am 27 weeks pregnant - IVF pregnancy with no hiccups so far touch wood. I am going to Cornwall on Friday for my Summer holiday and usully enjoy a swim in the sea there in the little bay, not miles from shore, in my wet suit. The water is cold even in Summer but not freezing obviously.

As some of you know who have been active in my recent posts, I started seeing an Immunologist a few weeks ago. She encouraged me to get the third shot, and began blood tests different from what our CLL Specialists give us. I had the first Pneumonia vaccine shot sometime earlier this year, or maybe

Foods that kill Prostate Cancer Cells
Made this list years ago. Best to keep them in mind when grocery shopping or cooking. Walnuts, have to eat a ton. Hot peppers, watch out for too much it can cause stomach cancer. Tomatoes, V8 juice Gac juice, other lycopene sources. Catsup. Watermelon, also a lycopene source but no cooking involved.

Starving the bacterium that causes pneumonia
The invitations, decorations, candles and the cake – there’s a lot to remember when you organise a birthday party for a five-year-old. One thing we thankfully take for granted in Australia is that our five-year-olds reach this milestone at all. But close to half a million children infected worldwide

My adrenals are disappointing me.
Diagnosed with PMR 2015 November. Only as couple of mini flare type symptoms. Otherwise I tapered very slowly over these years. A couple of times I’ve upped the prednisone for a few days due to an unusual stress. A blood glucose test last year showed very low sugar 44. Though hypoglycemic my whole life
