HRT in late 50's
I am investigating about HRT and have been reading lots of good things about helping with osteoporosis. I am thinking about trying HRT as I have post menopausal issues and to help with OP. However my GP insists that after 50, it's of zero use. I have found good studies and even the ROS recommend it

Period Won't Stop!
So, I just want to start off by saying I do have PCOS so my periods have always been irregular and a bit crazy. I'm very much used to going a while without them - my longest cycle between periods was about 3 months. However, since about May last year, they've changed. In May, I bled for around a 3

BEST PRESCRIPTION SLEED AID
I stopped taking Diphenhydramine as a sleep aid after reading all the negative effects it has on rls. Wondering what most people have been prescribed by their Doctor for better sleep. I currently take Gabapentin and use medical marijuana but it requires high amount of thc to give me a decent night sleep

Study shows hyaluronan is effective in treating chronic lung disease.
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their collaborators found that inhaling unfragmented hyaluronan improves lung function in patients suffering from severe exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Hyaluronan, a sugar secreted by living tissue that acts as a scaffold

Alternatives to Melatonin
Hello— My six (almost seven) year old daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD and General Anxiety Disorder. Like many kids with these two disorders she has SUCH a hard time getting to sleep at night. A combined inability to settle and an all consuming fear of aloneness/the dark means many meltdowns, night

Dosage reduction
Following on from my post a month ago, this is where I am now. Continued with 10 mg daily until I reached 6 weeks, then reduced to 9 mg, which is where I am now. My Dr wants me to continue to taper slowly by 1 mg every 6-8 weeks. Dr prefers to focus on symptoms rather than blood tests. I asked if

Effects of increasing Mirtazapine dose?
I started on 15mg mirtazapine for depressive symptoms (of complex ptsd) just over a week ago, and I've been so anxious, to the point where I'm almost constantly dissociated, and instead of 4-6 hours of restful sleep, I now get closer to 8 hours but I wake up anxious several times in the night. However

Hopeful but still keeping fingers crossed!
I am today posting, to give hope to others on tapering plans! After 4 years of first GCA followed by two bouts of PMR, my third attempt of tapering , continues to be promising. I chalk off a new week every Wednesday on my calendar and I have reached the ten week mark. That is ten weeks of no prednisolone

My Vaccine Worries
Your thoughts, advice and perhaps your sympathy, would be greatly appreciated please. I'm sure my invitation to have the vaccine is imminent and I'm worried. I've debated with myself for weeks about the best course of action and I'm going round in circles. The last time I was vaccinated was in 1991

Good meds for bone pain w. metastatic PCa.
Need pain med advice. GP Doc finally put me on Percocet -- which is way too weak to do much good. Have bone mets for almost 2 years from femurs to neck, and sometimes excruciating pain. Starting Hospice soon as my MO discharged me. (Have Braca 2 gene, and last med -- Lynparza -- lost its effectiveness

My scores are in!
Spine -3.1 Femur -1.8 (I think they said total femur -1.6) After being told by a GP last week that I was borderline, "my" GP told me today that he thinks I should start alendronic acid immediately for 3 years. (I am 55). It is scaring the hell out of me if I am honest. His reasoning was that, if I

What do you think about this formula?
It was developed by Purebulk and had given it a name "Alpha Energy" but they have now discontinued this product Taurine....515 mg Glucuronolactone... 210 mg N-acetyl L- tyrosine... 200 mg Caffeine synthetic... 200 mg L-phenylalanine .. 180mg L malic acid.. 175 Seems good formula for boosting energy

Autopsies tell us the secrets of Parkinson's...
The brains of Parkinson's patients tell us some of the secrets of the disease at autopsy... "For History must be our deliverer, not only from the undue influence of other times, but from the undue influence of our own, from the tyranny of environment and the pressure of the air we breathe". Acton.

How long for MRI results?
Hi All, this is my first post but hoping you may be able to shed some light on all of this for me. Had a pelvic MRI yesterday, how long usually for the results to come back? The nurse afterwards said they have to pass the results on to gynae & urology (?), then it will go to the gynae team at St Marys

Can we prevent, slow or halt, improve symptoms and reduce the severity of Parkinson's?
"Some things from the past are gone but others open a gap to the future and they are the ones I want to rescue." Mario Benedetti Current Neurology, which has made undeniable advances against Parkinson's, tells us that the disease is degenerative and symptoms are getting worse over the years, despite

I have had PMR for two years. I finally took last Prednisolone tablet on 9 January and have been off them now for 10 days and feeling fine. I also stopped taking alendronic acid in November and omeprazole once I stopped my Prednisolone. Can I ask, if you have also stopped taking your steroids are
