Underactive thyroid help please
Could someone give me their thoughts on these blood test results please. It appears my Vitamin D level is low, calcium level is a bit under and T3 is bang on the bottom end of being in range. The test was taken early in the morning with no food eaten or medication taken beforehand. I have been feeling

Channel blockers
Hi there! Please has anyone had experience of calcium channel blockers? I’ve struggled with beta blockers and it’s been suggested I try these instead . I have AF and find the Beta blockers reduce my BP to an unmanageable level..... when I’ve never had a BP problem before, resulting in extreme lightheadedness

Pins and needles and tight calves
Hi all About a week ago, I started to get pins and needles in my right arm. The feeling was not so intense that it hurt but I could defiantly feel a different sensation. The last few days the pins and needles have now moved to my feet. Again, the pain is horrible but I can feel it. I also have been

Update on weaning off Prednisolone - Methotrexate- any good?
Hi, just an update. Some will have read my recent post where my rheumatologist seemed to have forgotten I was still on 10mg or Prednisolone and had been for too long. He gave me 8 weeks supply to come of it completely and I had terrible problems and a nasty flare up. He then told me to go back up to

Dose reduction /Blood Pressure and supplements.
Hi, Great to find this group!! I was diagnosed with PMR in December (5 weeks ago) by which time I was in agony with hips and shoulders . Started on 15mg pred. which settled things by about 80% . After 2 weeks, the pain and discomfort grew again and I managed to persuade the doctor to prescribe 20 mg

Vitamin D for Afib?
The other day I came across a post on here that mentioned the Steven Carr website. (I'll post if asked but I assume many have seen it already) Essentially he claims to have cured his Afib with Vitamin D and minor diet changes. (i.e. Less calcium and eating cranberries etc) After I read this, I

Resting HR increase after ablation, but why?
So I had AF 2019-21, ablation 6 months ago, AF gone (touch wood) RHR was 60 now 70. I know this is expected but what causes it? I’ve been on Edoxaban blood thinners, rhythm control Flecainide and calcium channel blocker Verapamil since ablation - I was on none of these before ablation. My understanding

Recent Cardio Experience
Hi Guys - 2 weeks ago I experienced a minor heart attack (NSTEMI) - though it didn’t seem minor on way to A&E! I ended up having 3 stents inserted in my Right Coronary Artery and am now feeling good and on my rehab. During my 3 day stay in the Cardiology unit the Cardiology Consultants googled Enzalutamide

I need to know how many mg per day I should take of each of these, in addition to getting them in my normal

Vertebral fractures and starting zoledronic acid
I was diagnosed with 2 vertebral fractures (grade 2 superior endplate fracture) in Dec 2021 after osteoporosis showed up on my DEXA scan in 2020. I am scheduled to have the first of 3 annual zoledronic acid infusion in mid-Feb. I just wondered if anyone on here has had a similar experience? My back

Iodine
Hi A quick summary, I had a partial thyroidectomy 20+ years ago. Currently take T4 and T3. But I also have to take calcium because of low blood levels. I take seaweed calcium because I’ve read it’s better for bones (I have low bone density), but I’ve just noticed it contains iodine. And I’ve seen

Calcific Tendonitis
My husband has a painful calcific tendonitis in his right shoulder. He has PKD, gfr is 30 and going into stage 4. Ortho doctor gave him a Cortizone shot 2 days ago, so far it has not relieved the pain. I read this happens more often with end-stage renal disease. Also he was taking more vitamin D

Hypercalcemia & Parathyroid Hormone
At my last visit to the Nephrologist, my Calcium count was high. Nothing had changed in my normal pattern. I did some research (I usually go to Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic sites) and discovered that this could be due to an overactive parathyroid gland. Neph. took additional blood and 1st results
