Send me a few nice thoughts.
I have my visit. to the nephrologist on Monday at 1.30pm. He will have the results from my biopsy and will no doubt point the way forward. Have a look at my recent blood test (UK) readings and see if there is any hope for me: K (potassium) 4.9 Urea 13.6 Cr 251 egfr 16 Bi carb 17.3 Calcium 2.36 Phos 1.09

Hyperparathyroidism and kidney disease
So I’m a stage 3 kidney patient. Recently I was diagnosed with Osteopenia and very high parathyroid hormone levels. Does anyone has high PTH with normal calcium levels in the blood? I’m having the worst symptoms with muscles, joints, heart and no appetite. They usually say PTH rises calcium in the blood

Further to my last post about Levo and joint pain I now need help to understand my blood results.
I had some very helpful advice and info to my last post culminating in it being suggested that my Endo didn’t know what he was doing (and rightly so I think) so I d just requested and received a full blood test. I need help to understand it please. Summary background: Thyroid removed last august - benign

Endo decrease my T3 for over medication?
Hi everyone ❤️ Well I'm not surprised I'm writing this post, on my last thyroid blood work being: T3.. 6.4...range.. (3.10....6.80) TSH..0.05.. range.. (0.30...4.50) The endo decrease my T3 from 40mg to 30mg because I was over medicated, the only reason I agreed with this was because of awful symptoms

Vitamin D
I have just read a book called Vitamin K2 and the Calcium Paradox by Kate Rheaume Bleau. If you are taking Vitamin D or Calcium this book certainly contained important info about whole body need of this little known vitamin. I had been taking 5000iu of vitamin D3 for over a year and not realising the

Calcium pills bad for you?
Was searching to learn if I could crush calcium pills to take in water and came across this - which put me on alert! It’s not without at least some research. (?) https://www.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-07-2012/are-you-taking-too-much-calcium.html

TUMS as a good source of calcium? No.
As I understand it, there are different types of calcium, and they are not all equally absorbed. I was told that calcium citrate is best if you can’t get sufficient calcium from your diet. I am easily getting 1200 mg by drinking three 8 oz glasses of skim milk daily.

Allendronic Acid nightmare?
I know many of you will know I take Hydroxy, Prednisolone, blood pressure X 3 Gabapentin tablets. Also that my rheumatologist “discovered” that I had been left on Prednisolone for nearly 2 years with no review. Anyway, last time I went to see him was because he decided that 8 weeks was long enough to

Thinking Back
Well before my PAF attacks were recognised, I used to feel quite ill after spraying roses (tired and lethargic). Also if the council came around the streets spraying weeds on pavements that would affect me too. I have to admit I don't spray roses anymore. Also cleaning the bath with a spray cleaner

Supplement timing
Hey just wanted to check in on timing the following supplements and if you would add any others in or increase the amount. I take 150mg of Levothyroxine in the morning an hour before anything but water. I eat a gluten free diet and am careful about cross contamination. Sadly disnt get tested before

You are not alone
I fought taking something for low bone density from prednisone. Asked my PC if I could try calcium and vitamin D first because I was so afraid of the side effects. I regret waiting now because things got worse. I talked it over with my dentist and she set my mind at ease by telling me she had many patients
