friend with MS… interesting parallels
hi just sharing as this intrigued me. Visited a friend I haven’t seen for 12 years recently, she moved away. She was diagnosed with MS just before she left and talking to her I learned the following. MS support group recommended loading dose of 40,000 iu Vit D then 8,000 a day more in winter. This

High Folate with PA terrible GP
Hello everyone, Im afraid this might be a little long, but i hope someone can help me. It has been a long and upsetting morning. It started with a 630am ER visit for excruciating groin/hip pain for past 6 days and very hard to walk. Anyway, I'm confused. Some of my tests came back surprising. I

Falling apart
Just had my first ever Medichecks results through and some (most) are pretty bad although all have that lovely green mark!All supplements were stopped about 6 weeks ago - long story but I've only just got round to doing the test. Test taken at 9am with just water beforehand and last dose of Levothyroxine

Osteopenia?
A chat with the doctor's nurse and the diagnosis of of osteopenia. Osteopenia is the first stage before osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is when you break bones by falling. I fall now and then but it's because of peroneal nerve entrapment. The peroneal nerve lifts my toes. Without its help I trip

Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75.
