new thread for Seaside Susie's attention
Didn't intend to highjack a thread. Sorry about that. Thought info. might be useful to person who posed the question, as well as yourself and myself. Since D3 came up, came across Cerascreen offer and wondered if you considered it a good deal both for myself and yourself, and the forum at large. My

Decrease in Levo?
Hi, I’d gratefully like to receive your advice on whether or not I should ask for a decrease in levo from 100 mcg to 75 mcg. My problem is, I’m slightly over medicated but not enough to advise a reduction. However, the higher my dosage the more weight I pile on, especially on my midriff and stomach.

'Too much' brain calcium may cause Parkinson's
Before my diagnosis I always had Low level of Vitamin D (like many of Pwpd) and High level of PTH (Parathyroid hormone) but normal calcium level. This study is from 2018 but Calcium concept has been intriguing me for years specially after I was diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's disease.

Hi everyone, I hope you've all been well, and have been enjoying the lovely weather we've been having lately. Firstly, I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for all of the supportive words that were left on my last post. I know that I've already made quite a few like them in the past, but the kindness

age and PMR
I’m 64 and coming up to my fifth year (October). I was told “It’ll probably burn itself out in a year or so! Having said that I’m down to 5mg Pred. I’ve tried to reduce, very slowly and actually got down to 2mg but after a week couldn’t walk again. So … Pred it is. I’m resisting taking Omeprazole

Anyone had this issue?I have been on a calcium channel blocker for about three years after taking bisop and flec for some twelve years, no issues.

Hello everyone! I am posting this on behalf of my hubby, he is about to be 42 and for about a year or so he had been feeling a bit off (mostly tiredness, lethargic, not a lot of drive to do things, etc - he even lost some weight without trying and with no changes to diet or lifestyle) which very unlike

Looking for Ozzie Bob
Around the middle of May this year, Ozzie Bob posted a link to a story about an A-Fib sufferer who spent about 10 years systematically trying one thing (supplement, vitamin, mineral etc) at a time until he discovered a "cure" for himself. I remember he found he had to keep Calcium lowish and I think

I’m pretty new to this group but am very grateful to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2017 and started sodium risedronate around 2018. I took it until about 4 months ago when my Endocrinologist took me off to put me on Prolia, which she assured me had no contraindications

Managing Your Condition

Raised Ferritin, should I be concerned.
Hi I've had two over range ferritin results in 2.5 weeks, one on June 13 my ferritin was 160 ( range 13-150) the one on 29 June was 163. I had to have bloods repeated as had some abnormalities. I'm post menopause. I've always struggled with anemia throughout my life and spent much of it on iron tablets
