Need for Calcium supplements?
I have been on prednisolone for 10 months for PMR, recent flare at 7mg so now on 10mg until resolved. My Dexa scans show no significant bone loss, currently not taking any supplements. Should I commence them as still have some way to go on this journey!

Bisoprolol alternative to avoid cold extremities
Afternoon all, Despite 2 ablations my AFib episodes returned a year ago. Bisoprolol and flecainide seem to control it well, but I really struggled this winter with cold extremities. Despite plenty of layers, woollen socks, thick long skiing gloves I still have very cold fingers and toes. I tried

The Use of Low Dose Estradiol to Ameliorate the Effects of ADT on Bone Mass Density
I have been conducting a long-term n of 1 trial since January 23, 2021 using lose dose estradiol (E2) gel to counteract the effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on bone mass density (BMD). I believe that I now have sufficient data to report that low dose transdermal E2, along with exercise and

Can a new drug mimic the effects of exercise on bone and muscle?
Looks like this is something we should look forward to and keep an eye out for approval. Researchers have recently discovered that a new drug called locamidazole may help to prevent loss of bone density and muscle mass during periods of inactivity, but it’s no substitute for all of the benefits of exercise

has anyone heard of Brillia and S100B protein?
I was reading about this in the ADHD community. Sounds interesting. I think there is some crossover with ADHD and Parkinson’s symptoms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S100B https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33052436/ “The exact etiology of Parkinson's disease (PD) remains obscure, lacking effective diagnostic

Vitamin C
I've just been reading about Liposomal Vitamin C and wondered if anyone is taking this as it seems to be a good choice for people who are sensitive to ascorbic acid or calcium ascorbate.

Bone Density - Dexa
I read somewhere that in the pre-Lupron days when DES (Diethylstilbestrol) was commonly used, bone loss was not a major issue. My 19-year history falls into three phases: i) continuous testosterone [T] ii) alternating 3-month periods of ADT & T iii) my version of BAT (LongBAT) - a single T injection

Another Echolight Scan versus Dexa Numbers
Hello, Like many, I am so torn about meds. My last doctor that did the Echolight Scan said he would not suggest I needed meds, however my primary does. And of course, most doctors only acknowledge the DEXA because they don't know about the Echolight, and don't want to know about it. Sorry but my

Update - strontium citrate
hi I just had a endo lab appt and had 4 blood tubes drawn for secondary causes. I guess it’s a start. I now take strontium citrate and 45 mg of K2 mk4 as my two main lines of defense. I read some research in Australia that said to take the strontium citrate by opening the capsule and mixing it into

Hypothyroidism Confusing test results. Can anyone help please. Are they connected.
Hi Im hoping someone can help. The information you gave last time was very helpful but I still haven't recieved any help from the doctors as they didn't believe the test result were right. They said something was going wrong at the lab but kept sending me back. So I recently paid to get a private test

How much is too much D3
Any views on taking 10,000 iu d3 daily? There’s evidence that it’s ‘safe and well tolerated’ I went to see my bone consultant today, he wasn’t impressed by me taking this amount but my calcium level is good and my dexa results have gone from -2.6 to -2.1 in 2 years I also take k2 and magnesium ,

ANRC Plus instead of B complex?
The below is my own work which I am simply sharing. I have no other agentia other than to invite comments and zero expectations. I make no claim to legitimacy or accuracy. I have less than zero medical training. It makes sense to me that any supplement should be checked to insure that an ingredient

NDT+supplements?
Finally after many years of suspecting I am hypothyroid, I have found a doctor to prescribe me NDT-30 mgs morning & afternoon. I take many meds & supplements at every meal & bedtime, but from investigating I am most concerned by magnesium-which I take after breakfast/lunch/dinner- and calcium after
