Implantable loop Recorder/Angina/irregular heart beat and very high calcium scores
After having every scan and test done including a coronary angiogram I am due to come and have an implantable loop recorder fitted into my chest on the 28th of this month which I am apprehensive about. During the last face to face appointment with my cardiologist he said I had a very high calcium score

Calcium score 0 but still getting chest tightness. Cardiologist has discharged me..
My CT cardiac angio showed a calcium score of 0 so my ‘cardiologist’ of all of 5 mins thinks my symptoms of chest tightness on exertion and with stress were due to a low iron. She’s discharged me with no further tests but I’m still getting symptoms. At a loss what to do... I suspect I should use the

Afraid of Fosamax?
Greetings to all of you wise PMRGC members. Thank you for your responses to my other posts. At 65, I was diagnosed with PMR a month and a half ago and was on 10 mg prednisone for a month weaning down 1 mg each month. So far so good - no pain. I had a DEXA Scan last week which showed osteopenia (hips

Taking thyroid hormone with bottled or distilled water?
I usually take my thyroid hormone with bottled water. Now, I´ve read that can decrease hormone absorption as it contains both calcium and magnesium, and that it´s better to take thyroid hormone with distilled water. Has anyone else noticed a difference between taking thyroid hormone with bottled water

Husband was wrong : not hard headed after all!
Hi all, Flew 8 hours from Canada to Switzerland last week to find out if I can ultimately receive FUS PTT. It turns out that yes, except for low skull density ratio (SDR) of 0.34, measured with CAT scan during assessment. Soooo, husband was wrong all these years, I am not hard headed after all! It

From stent to surgery
You may have seen my previous post but to recap, mum had a heart attack on Wednesday morning. She had a couple of stents put in to a blockage and went for another angiogram today. Unfortunately there is a calcium and fat buildup which is not suitable for stenting. She has been told she will have to

Worried and Confused
Hi Everyone- I just joined and read some posts. I'm so happy to be on this site. I'm a 69 year old woman, good health, exercise frequently and walk several times a week, usually carrying a heavy bag to work. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis last August with a score of 2.5 in my hip and wrist. I delayed

Vitamin D levels
I have been keeping my Vitamin D level above 80 for over 5 years now. Sometimes it hits 100, once it hit 127, but then I back off and try and keep it around 90. What are your opinions on this? My oncologist always panics and says keep it to 50. My calcium levels are fine. All other blood markers are

Test results, following up from a month ago
Hello. I posted on here a month ago asking for advice before an endo appointment. I was feeling very poorly - a lot of joint pain, brain fog, falling over, dizzy, ears ringing etc. Your advice was really helpful, thank you. I ended up having levothyroxine increased from 50 to 75mcg, liothyrinine

Just got diagnosed with Lupus nephritis
Hi there. Summary: Just recently got diagnosed with Lupus nephritis after a biopsy. My life has changed. I'm constantly tired. And my body just feels different. I need to put much more effort into anything I do and even simple tasks are harder than usual. And my concentration is kind of. In addition

Poverty-stricken adults more likely to be calcium-, vitamin D-deficient.
Rising numbers of people consuming nutrient poor diets, coupled with aging, sedentary lifestyle and low income, can contribute to a number of chronic diseases. Nutritional intake along with health disparities, further delineated by socio-economic status, can contribute to a higher prevalence of disease

What are some of the best Supplements to start off with? Maybe just 1-2.

Is it possible to stent four arterial blockages in one angioplasty?
My dad (62) has at least four significant arterial blockages (over 70%) one of which is in his LAD. He's scheduled for an angioplasty tomorrow and possible stenting, but with so many blocks I'm worried they'll have to do CABG. Has anyone been in this situation and only treated it with stents and meds

Support for animal protein?
Is there any scientific support for including animal protein in my diet? About 4 months ago I started a plant based diet. Everything I see or read now points to why WFPB is good for you, but I am not sure if I am seeing this because it is true, or if I am just getting bombarded with this news because

40ng Carbimazole - hylerthyroid (Graves')
Hi guys After having been prescribed propanylol by my GP, I saw a specialist endo today for the first time. As I don't have anything to compare it to, I'm unsure how safe/effective the course of treatment prescribed is. 20mg of Carbimazole x2 per day (40mg dose). It seems pretty high to me (though

GP 9 Rheumatologist 0
Following my rant ‘So angry’ about my ex-rheumy (sacked him on Friday) I had a good telephone appointment with my GP today. He doesn’t get a ‘10’ because he hadn’t read my letter although we discussed it (he’s not good at paperwork). He agreed that we don’t need a rheumatologist anymore. YIPPEE. He agreed
