I’m not so sure about this...
After having consistent blood tests for 12 months I have been diagnosed with CKD. In trying to educate myself about this disease I have come to question if I really do have it. Based on blood tests I do but....I have no reason for getting it. Apart from low gfr and high creatinine, my bloods are fine

Low Calcium levels
Hi, I have had three lots of blood tests now all with low Calcium in the blood. I’m not sure what it means as I haven’t seen a consultant yet. I’m a 54 year old male, anyone got any ideas? I’m told that they checked my parathyroid glands and that they were normal. Confused?

Help please to understand results before doctors appointment.
Hello all, Apologies in advance for the long list of results and questions I’d like to ask! I posted my Medichecks results a few weeks ago but wanted to note them again now I have my NHS results. Please could I ask a few questions of you knowledgeable people, I know I may have asked some of them before

Are My Vit D Levels Low Due to Parathyroid?
I'm female and in my mid 50s based in the UK. My calcium levels have been gradually increasing over the years but still within the 'normal' range (2.20 - 2.60) at 2.47mmol/L .

Amazing feat !!
Hope you are all ok only this stormy day. At the end of February, I visited a reflexologist as I was struggling with acute abdominal pain amongst other things. Having been to several others before over the years, I was surprised when she told me, your small intestine is inflamed and your vitamin B12

Letrozole Ibrance and Denosumab Meds
Hi ladies, just a quick question. Has anyone on Letrozole, Ibrance and Denosumab had any tooth problems? Since being on the meds I’ve had a tooth extracted and as most of you know it caused ONJ that hasn’t healed in 14 months and now I have a broken tooth and lost a crown on the other side of my mouth

vitamins online
I have been searching for vitamin-D tablets online for calcium deficiency. I am actually pretty skinny, so every time I hit somewhere, it hurts the bone pretty much more. So I searched online and saw it might be a vitamin deficiency. I came across plenty of websites, but there are quite a few. I wondered

Amantadine for fatigue/spasms
There was a post on here recently about Amantadine and I commented on how I took it 4 or so years back. Was one of the first drugs I took for AMN once I'd found a decent neurologist who was open to prescribing anything that wasn't Baclofen or Valium. Amantadine is an antiviral, was effective against
