NHS Attitudes on Worth of Life
My deep apologies to everyone for this post but I think it’s going to be a long one. Partly about PA and partly on NHS attitudes I am encountering about the worth of life. Warning for sensitive members, this post might be shocking. So you will know me through my posts regarding seizures and both neurological

A question about blood pressure
I recently had two episodes of a fast pulse rate following migraine and triptans taken to relieve it. With this came two readings of high blood pressure - - 181/98 and 179/110. I decided to contact the GP just to check on this and he agreed the fast heart rate could have been a reaction to the triptans

SpaceOAR placement day after
For anyone considering SpaceOAR rectal spacer, here's my experience one day after the procedure. While I see some have had this done under anesthesia, I did not. It was not presented as an option for me, and after going through it, I don't know that it would be necessary unless you have a very low tolerance

DEXA Results
Hello, I know this question has been addressed in various ways before, but it would still help me to share my concern and see responses from the community. My last DEXA was in 2021 and my spine was -3.9. My doctor put my on a yearly reclast infusion, the first of which was last March. I am due to get

Calcium Hyroxyapatite caps: Does anyone take them and please give pros and cons if you can.
I took NOW calcium hydroxyapatite caps 500 mg daily until about a year ago. After going through the bottle containing 120 capsules, I started on Solaray calcium magnesium 2:1 ratio (containing calcium amino acid chelate complex, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide/ magnesium amino acid chelate complex

Thyroid and cortisol results
Hi all, just got results back from latest NHS bloods. Any thoughts? This was primarily to try and 'verify' my private blood test results showing above-range TSH (6.1) and high antibodies. Test was done just before 9am, fasting, currently not on any meds, no biotin week before. I also asked for serum

OT calcium in the LAD on PSMA scan.
I am 56 yo s/p RARP with negative margins 1/2014, now with BCR, PSA .21. My urologist recommended psma scan. The scan was normal except for “calcium vs stents in the LAD”, I don’t have stents. Have you all seen this? How commonly do these scans detect other diseases?

Calcium, confused
Yes, many posts on calcium, to take or not to take. Tall Allen has posted research results on the efficacy and stated that calcium supplements are not necessary if your levels are correct from a blood test.My level of calcium in 2021 was low in spite of using a Mediteranean diet and no supplements. After

What should I be doing about tapering prednisolone?
Hello again, good people. I posted a few weeks ago when newly diagnosed and have learned a lot from your advice but I think I need a bit more. I said then my GP wanted me to begin a taper from 15mg prednisolone after a month to 10mg. At 4 weeks on pred (last Thursday) I had bloods taken - ESR 8, CRP

an anniversary
hi! Today is the second anniversary of my heart attack. (Nstemi). From reading others’ posts, I’ve been quite lucky. I ended up with 5 relaxing days in hospital, during the pandemic, plugged into many wires, with lovely caring nurses, and an angiogram/ angioplasty which revealed two 80% blocked coronary

PMR confusion over drug timings
Hi, I have PMR and been taking prednisolone for about a year, trying to reduce and now on 9mg daily. I take Omeprazole in the early morning, before Pred. and then the calcium chew. I have seen on these posts recently that the calcium should not be taken near to the Pred as they do not react well with

vaginal estrogen and vag valium question
I was wondering if any of you lovely ladies are using both vaginal estrogen cream and vaginal valium suppositories. I'm supposed to insert a valium suppository every night (10mg) and I also insert 1 gram of estradiol cream three nights a week. I'm worried that the valium will keep the estrogen cream

blood pressure
I have coronary artery disease, two stents. I take Candestarten for high BP, had to stop taking Amlopodine as I was allergic to it, my BP is high at top and normal at bottom reading. Wondered if anybody knew of a Calcium Channel Blocker that has minimum side effects,

Thyroidectomy
Just had my thyroid removed two days ago. Had very sudden growth of nodules (over 5cm) and had large nodules on both sides. So only option was complete removal. Not sure what to expect now. Started on calcium and Euthyrox (100ug) (Levothyroxine). Feel OK, a bit buzzy and lightheaded but I guess that

Alendronic acid
Since my flair up I've now been on 15mg pred ( up from 7mg)for 3 weeks. Well, iv'e not felt this good in years. I can actually walk properly, walk with a stride and at a decent pace without feeling that my legs are bound by a resistance band. My energy levels are almost normal as some 4 years ago.

Gardening wobbles
Hello, Today I had to prune the rose bushes and the bush roses, in a terraced front garden. However, I was disappointed to find that it was hard going, because I felt weak,a bit unsure and a bit wobbly. I’m 77 but have seen older people gardening with gusto. I used to do a lot in the garden and last
