Hi again Many of you will remember my post about 3 weeks ago when I was in fast AF and felt dreadful and I really appreciated all of your help and support.

Does having a goitre always mean you have a thyroid problem. Asking for someone else
Hi I don't and never have had a goitre so I can't use my experience to help. I'm working with someone who has developed a large goitre. She has pain in her neck, radiating to her ear, she has a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, gall bladder removed, type 2 diabetes amongst other things. She has been told her

Amlodipine and calcium
Hi, I'm on amlodipine for high blood pressure, have been since 2016. I was diagnosed with osteopenia T score -1.1, in 2021 and put on calcium and vitamin D. I also take Vitamin K2 to help with the calcium absorption. I recently had an annual blood pressure review and although it's not gone up, it's still

Hello!
Hey folks, Not entirely sure where to start here, first post. - I recently had a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) due to some on-going issues which were identified as gallstones. - During this, and also backed up by biopsy/blood tests it seems I have some issues going on with my liver L3 fibrosis

Hi, this is my story
I broke my foot following a fall off a high kerb in August 2021 and should have been referred for a DEXA scan by the minor injuries unit who treated this, but wasn't until I asked my GP for one, following a tip off from a friend who knew that that is NHS guidance. Following the DEXA scan and recommendation

Calcium supplements - the latest advice is DON’T take them!
There’s increasing evidence about calcium supplements and evidence that they cause colon polyps and that the calcium ends up in arteries rather than bones and therefore best avoided. In this article they recommend getting calcium from your diet and exercise - ‘Multiple studies have found that there

Background I was diagnosed with PMR in June 2024. Fortunate in having very supportive GP who quickly started me on 15 mg Predisolone which brought about dramatic improvement. Dose has been reduced to 14 mg after 1 month. GP plan is to reduce by about 1mg a month, depending on monthly blood test results
