Others don’t understand
I know we’re all usually talking about our meds, but I’m wondering how everybody is faring when trying to explain to others what we go through. I’ve had my adult children question why I take oxycodone. Some seem to understand, some are very judgmental. RLS can start at 10:30 am, and is why I’m spreading

Mother has calcium score of 470
Hello all, My 76 year old mother recently had a cardiac scan done. Her total coronary calcium score is 470 (ie 75 th - 90th percentile ). It's got both her and I rather concerned. Is there anything she can do to better things? Any advice/tips/comments? Much appreciated, Sophie .

Blood test follow up
Thank you all for your help. Results of discussion with doc - Parathyroid hormone: 10.93 (range 1.5-7.2), higher than range but lower than a year ago apparently (14+). This was a few months before my GCA diagnosis. Still waiting on results for B12, iron, folate. A year ago vit D levels and calcium

Plaque kills. Is this a reliable test?
Forget calcium scoring. Forget even seeing your GP. Is the answer simply to do this test at home and check your plaque levels - plaque kills...?

STATINS
Hi Can I please ask, if anybody takes a K2 vitamin and statins? I ask as i've been led to believe that K2 vitamin directly moves the calcium directly into the bones and not straight into the arteries. I've also read that if you take statins with this vitamin it stops it from doing this task??

Blood test results - round 2
I posted three weeks ago requesting help interpreting blood tests I’d had done for thyroid and calcium. Thank you PMRpro for your help. I’ve since had my parathyroid hormone levels tested plus B12, iron, as I have been feeling excessively fatigued (ironically I’ve felt much better over the last few days

Progress - I think ....
HiApologies for the long post... Finally had a meaningful conversation with a GP at my practice (not my usual one but that didn't matter) & got results from CT scans. No blockages & 0 calcium so nothing to be alarmed about on that score. No further action required except to stop beta blockers. So

Does parathyroid hormone worsen osteoporosis?
I have just had a blood test and learn that my parathyroid hormone level is high/abnormal. (I learned from Google that the parathyroid gland is actaully nothing to do with thyroid level. It's so named because it is located in the neck behind the thyroid gland.) As I understand it the parathyroid hormone

Is anyone with CKD on Clonidine b/p drug?
I am stage 5, and had to be taken off Losartan because of hyperkalemia. My Neph gave me a new drug which I couldn't tolerate as it made my heart race. So she said maybe you dont need to be on a b/p med since that ofc visit it was only 130/xx. I subsequently had an appointment with my cardiologist

Sharing good news
firstly thanks for the great advice I got about what to expect at my first cardio appointment. after a period of time feeling breathless on exertion I got results of scans. my consultant said he was surprised that the results were so positive due to my many years as as a smoker. ( not smoked for ten
