Which is more damaging, high triglycerides or high blood glucose?
I have both conditions and have been given a different diet for each. I think it’s going to be impossible to live without fats AND carbohydrates. Which do you think would be the lesser of two evils? I’m currently on a low carb high fat diet.

Pred reduction and feelings of low blood sugar
'Morning everyone! I am using DL's slow taper and have reduced to the dose which has caused flares in the past - between 5mg and 7mg. I have been on 6mg for over a week and have noticed feelings of hunger and the associated feelings of low blood sugar plus, this morning, tightness in the neck muscles

Yes, You CAN have the Shingles Vaccine
Hi Everyone, I'm writing this just in case there is anyone out there who thinks they can't have the shingles vaccine because they are on pred. I believed this and refused the vaccine. I later found It was only true if you were on over 20mgs of pred (which I am not). Last October, a new vaccine

Is it safe to renew my tetanus injection with being on 8mg Pred?
My tetanus injection needs to be topped up. I have an allotment in London which used to be part of a railway embankment and wondered if it is wise to take the injection or to wait till I have tapered down to under 5 mg? The same goes for the Hepatitis which is due? Any advice would be appreciated

Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy
I have a friend who contracted Lyme disease and recently underwent a series of hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions. The treatment has completely transformed him and he is now his old self. I have read that this therapy helps Fibromyalgia and other autoimmune diseases and was wondering if anyone knew

shingles jab anyone?
I had a very bad bout of shingles three years ago. Yesterday my doctors surgery rang to say I qualified for a jab! I tried to ask if it was worthwhile for someone who had already had shingles and was told she was the receptionist! Fair enough but then you can’t speak to a medic anymore Any thoughts

Noninvasive deep brain stimulation shows promise for Parkinson’s. Is it an advanced form of CUE1?
Stimvia’s URIS device uses electrodes placed near the peroneal nerve in the lower leg to modulate electrical activity that stimulates specific nerve pathways in the brain. It functions as a noninvasive alternative for DBS to modulate the activity of specific brain nerve pathways. A built-in monitoring

Benefits of low carb and heart-health
I know this is a controversial topic, but would like to put it out there anyway and get some views. There is a massive debate about fat vs carb and its merits on health in general. Any personal anecdotes or research that points to following a low carb diet for healthy heart health? What do cardiologists

Deep Brain Stimulation Therapy
I am seriously considering having DBS but am wondering if there are others who have successfully had this surgery to alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, upper back & lower back. Please share any experiences with this as well as anything else you may have found that works. I am desperate. Thank you

Tetanus
Not too far back there was a discussion about having a Tetanus shot, might help PD. I tried a search and came up with only one 2 year old post. No very Techy. Can someone help me find the link to that discussion? Thank you

Flare after Shingrix shingles vaccine?
Hi Everyone, I received my second (recombinant) shingles vaccine yesterday. The first one caused a mild fever and malaise. This time my finger joints are stiff and pretty painful. Has anyone else had something similar and, if so, how long did it last? Thanks so much
