Odd things that you learn...
So I had my pre-op checks a couple of weeks back, today was due to sign consent forms, chat with pharmacy etc but it got postponed. Pharmacy then phones a bit later to discuss when to stop my cocktail, so we have a mix of 1, 2 & 3 days before except for 1 one, my over the counter Omega 3 fish oil. I

What vitamin gummies are we using?
I keep reading about zinc, omega 3 and magnesium. Does anyone have recommendations on gummy vitamins they use for ADHD that are helping? My daughter is 7. Thanks!

Alendronic Acid
I have been taking AA now for 3 years and 4 months every Sunday morning. I wondered if it would matter if I miss taking it on Christmas Day. What do others think? I did have a dexa scan a few months ago and the result was low body mass. I am 82.

Unlocking the Maze of B Complexes: A Handy List for Safe Dosages and Bioactive Vitamins
It can be quite challenging to find reliable B-complex supplements that are safe in terms of dosage. Additionally, it is advisable to opt for bioactive vitamins for added safety.

Laurie Mischley on Using High DHA Fish Oil to Reduce Levodopa-Induced Dyskinesia (Updated)
https://youtu.be/piDgzpD7oOQ?si=hZfSiPMEqAAg_Kbc Dr Mischley also recommends citicoline. I strongly discourage anyone who is not already using citicoline from starting, because: "patients treated with citicoline experienced a significant worsening 45 days after the medication was discontinued". For

Cabazitaxel and estrogen patch
My brother has CRPC and is receiving Cabazitaxel+Relugolix. Denosumab and Zoledronic acid don't work for him. I suggested an Estrogen patch to both maintain bone density and ameliorate hot flashes. His oncologist said that an Estrogen patch would interfere with the Cabazitaxel. I can't find any literature

anyone used myovvii device ?
hello everyone, curious to find out if any of you have used the myovvii device that is promoted on instagram for period pain and endo pains? Apparently it sends signals to your brain to change where the pain is being detected. A little bit like acupuncture which I have also read about. I’m currently

DEXA results worse, trialling HRT
Had my first DEXA scan 2 years ago at 48 due to family history of osteoporosis. I have no other risk factors. Scan showed osteopenia in my hips (overall -1.7) and osteoporosis in spine (overall -3.4). Did not want to take alendronic acid offered by my GP. Asked for medication review with Rheumatology

Interesting Article (please read)
came across this article today and would like to know your thoughts: i was swayed by flashy advertising in the late 1990s featuring medical stars like Professor Lord Winston, who convinced me that omega-3 fish oil supplements were essential for my brain and my heart. Fast forward to today, and
