INJURY UPDATE, BACK ON THE COUCH
So, injury sustained Thur 11th June, note, the DAY AFTER I finished week 8. Took it easy for a week or so, with, persistent pain above ankle, especially when weight bearing. Took myself to a physiotherapist. As pain and tenderness was so localised he suggested x-ray. Off to Urgent care, same day,

Vitamin K2 and Calcification reversal in Arteries
Hi everyone My HA was now nearly 4 months ago and 2 stents later I'm recovering quite well and on the usual cocktail of drugs. I just wondered if anyone knows, or been advised by their Cardiologist about the potential benefits of taking Vitamin K supplements, and how studies have shown the reduction

I think I'm on track for CKD, what do you guys think?
Hi, I'm new here, I am so happy to have found this board! In advance I want to thank you for reading all this, and I realize not to expect medical advice. I just need some direction. I have been feeling VERY ill for almost two years, and the docs think I'm nuts (probably). My skin has darkened, major

Taking Alendronic Acid and Adcal.
I have Valvular Heart Disease,Angina and COPD. I also have Calcified Blood Vessels. I was reading that if you have Calcified Blood Vessels you might be better off by not taking any Calcium tablets. I'm not sure what to do about it, whether or not to take the Calcium tablets or not. I know that none

Are Frequent Scans Safe.
I have stage four metastatic breast cancer. My Oncologist has me going for a CAT scan and a full body bone scan every three months. Aren't those scans loaded with radiation? If they are damaging is it a good idea to have so many scans. I am quite worried about this. I am on Ibrance and Letrozole

Blood test advice
I'm having private blood tests tomorrow in a desperate attempt to direct me where to get help next (as gp given up). I'm having active b12 done, calcium, phosphate, ft3 & ft4 and cortisol, any advice welcome please as I'v been unwell for seven months now. I'll attach a photo of my previous results.

Calcified blood vessels and main arteries. But still taking Adcal and Alendronic Acid Tablets because of Osteoporosis.
I was just wondering if anyone can give me some advice. In hospital 2 years old they attempted to do as Angiogram in my groin ( The 4th one )but they couldn't do it and tore my main blood vessel and I had a major Bleed. They also attempted to do it on the inside of my wrist 3 times, but they couldn't

The radiograph shows calcium deposits in the joint capsule. The other radiograph is the podiatrist's own ankle for comparison.
The podiatrist says the spike of bone pushing on the Achilles from beneath is the cause of the ankle pain. But surgery removed the spike and the PRP so far hasn't helped. A closer look at the radiograph shows calcium deposits in the joint capsule. Nothing to do with PD, likely it's plain old arthritis

Alendronic Acid
Had a fall at the weekend resulting in a broken wrist. It is an uncomplicated fracture but I have a feeling that the Rhumatologist will try to put me on Alendronic Acid and this is something I really dont want. My first reaction would be to ask for a Dexa Scan to see if its really neccessary and if

G’day my ms family. If you are ever in any doubt who I am talking to, it is “YOU”. My ms sisters and brothers. My knowledge and comments are based on my 20+ years with Relapsing-Remitting ms (RRms) and she who must be obeyed 23+ years of experience. So in my house, there is a little ms knowledge

L-thyroxine Malabsorption Due to Calcium Carbonate Impairs Blood Pressure, Total Cholesterolemia, and Fasting Glycemia
Just in case anyone thinks that advice to separate calcium (and iron) from levothyroxine is a figment of our imaginations, have a look at this paper. Not only does the paper make a point about separating taking of calcium and levothyroxine, by a long time, but they emphasise that doctors, including

Side effects Sertaline
Hi, I have been prescribed Sertaline for GAD. It's not terrible but bad enough that I have been off work. I've been on it for 2.5weeks now and I don't feel much difference (although I am not feeling particularly low). However I have a loss of libedo. My sex drive is part of my identity and I enjoy having

No medication seems to be working to ease some of the pain
Me again. No medication seems to be working. I'm currently on 3 gabapentin, Naproxen, 2 Omeprazoles (stomach was slightly damaged in early may as I wasn't aware that you had to have a stomach lining tablet with naproxen... Dr didn't give any Omeprazole with the naproxen so was advised to take 2 of them
