Atorvastatin and PMR
Does anyone take Atorvastatin who has been diagnosed with PMR? I was diagnosed with PMR nine years ago. Couldn’t get below 3mg and have been put on a ‘ maintenance’ dose of 5mg as my adrenal glands don’t seem to want to wake up. It’s been recommended that I take a statin to protect against stroke/

2022 New Year 🎁: The J R Kraft test, & the REAL pathology of Type 1 & Type 2 diabetes ( - of which T2DM is the 'end-stage' of disease !).
"2022" greetings to all readers ! Searching for "Kraft" today on this forum returned only 18 results, & none from the past year or two !

Christmas carbs
I may be asking the obvious here: I have managed to keep my weight down by eating a lot fewer refined carbs and virtually no refined sugar. But my blood sugar remains high. I have never been overweight. If I eat a few small bits of eg, Christmas pudding, is it likely that my liver will go Whoopee! and

PMR, tapering prednisone and methotrexate
At age 74, I was diagnosed with PMR and put on 20 mg prednisone. Now also on methotrexate 10 mg and 11 mg prednisone. Slowly reducing prednisone dose. MTX is supposed to help me get off prednisone. Has that worked for anyone? Has anyone on these drugs had the covid antibody test to see if you have any

Why do you need cholesterol?
This was copied from an email I got so don’t go shooting the messenger if you don’t agree :). “I have been trying for years, decades actually, to raise my cholesterol. Finally after a more significant (call it strict if you like) change in diet, it’s happening and that’s a good thing. You see, low cholesterol

Stem cell-based implants successfully secrete insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes...Big Hope...

Anyone tried vitamin A oil for sensitivity control after circumcision?
I was wondering if vitamin a oil can be applied for faster sensitivity control. Because Vit A promotes keratin.

Opinions on Hemp creams.
Hello everyone, I've recently decided to purchase some compression gloves for my hands and this cream called Hemp Active cream by 5kind popped up on my screen.

Protein in the blood could predict Type 2 Diabetes years before it develops. 💙
Hi everyone, This is interesting research and done on a large scale in Sweden which has found that a precursor to developing Type 2 Diabetes is the protein follisatin which’s produced in the liver. This has lots of potential to help prevent Type 2 Diabetes from manifesting itself by alerting people to
