Remaining on a low dose of pred indefinitely
A lot of posts discuss tapering off steroids as a priority, but I'm wondering if there are some members who are happy to remain on a low dose of pred (say, around 5mg or below) and have their GP or rheumatologist's blessing to do so. I mention this because during my last visit to see my rheumatologist

Vitamin Test Results advice for GP call
Hello all, I will try to be brief... Not many posts for a while, as I was working with Endo and it takes time between med changes and results etc. Current meds: 100mcg levothyroxine Mon-Sat + 75 mcg on a Sun (since August 2021). Any previous increase and I experience symptoms which I believe to be over-medication

Irritable bladder and Ad-Cal
Once again this forum has proved to be the BEST source of support and info! I have been suffering badly from almost constant stinging for months. Trying lots of different treatments, nothing worked. Felt exhausted as I was getting little sleep. Saw the post about calcium supplements and stopped taking

Primary Hyperparathyroidism
I was diagnosed with osteoporosis whilst being investigated for hypercalcemia. Turns out I had a tumour on my parathyroid gland - primary hyperparathyroidism. I was told this caused my osteoporosis because the parathyroid glands control the calcium in our bodies. Mine was out of control and leaking calcium
