Metabolic Acidosis
Hi there I have a current GFR of 11. I am 27 years transplanted with my first kidney. I have metabolic acidosis as one of my problems. I was wondering if it causes any of you leg weakness. Some days I feel like I am walking through treacle. My legs are like jelly. Today I am like that. I am on sodium

When should you take medication?
I had a scan 3 years ago and got scores of -2.6. I decided not to take medication at that time and stuck with calcium and K2 supplements as well as exercise. I am vegan so eating dairy was not an option. I am sure that if my scores are worse on this scan I will get a lot of pressure to start on medication

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

HELP! I'm New to osteoporosis - should I take meds?
I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis (at 63 - I think I'm too young) but I've always had osteopenia and am a small person. I've had doctors talk about medications but when I read the side effects and consider not being able to stop them (in the case of Prolia... which was highly recommended) I

Bonescan
I had a cupped knee few days ago, suddenly my left knee gave in, I couldn’t stand, last bonescan showed bones are getting weaker. I am 78, small built, are there any supplements I should be taking, calcium or fosamax? I take milk & yogurt for bones. Any suggestions? I have Hashimoto thyroid.

Calcium
It is recommended that older women get 1,200 milligrams of calcium per day. Shouldn't body weight and size be taken into consideration?

New Iron, Calcium and B12 results
My GP decided my earlier iron test results weren’t good enough and ordered new ones and I just received the results and the results are slightly different which is weird since its the same lab. My B12 is high because I supplement and I think my D3 is a little on the low side. Let me know what

Raised Parathyroid Levels
Hi Back at the end of June I had a lot of bloods taken,one of these included electrolytes. My calcium levels,both actual and adjusted came back as below range. 2.1 on a range of 2.2-.26. However my surgery didn't pursue it even though I queried it. I've had a lot of health issues since last autumn

Food grade Bicarbonate of Soda
I think that I may have responded to a tip on the forum, but I have no memory of what it was. Lately I have been troubled by heel pain and right side lower abdominal pain. 2 kilos of Bicarbonate of Soda arrived today. I obviously thought I needed a lot. Can anyone help? Otherwise, the fridge gets it.

E.Coli/UTI
As a result of some symptoms I reported to my Transplant Coordinator (“TC”) because I was recently prescribed Sodium Bicarbonate for the low CO2 result in my blood test, the TC ordered a Urine Culture test for me at LabCorp. It came back with a “colony” of bacteria in my bladder. I went thru 10 days

Anyone Else Used Livi For GP Services
Hi First off I'm not getting paid to endorse Livi lol but I've used it a few times when my own surgery has been AWOL. The last two female GP's I consulted have been especially good. These have been non thyroid issues, one one did notice my calcium levels were too low, which my own surgery had
