should you take supplements at the same time as the Pred dose?
I recently read not to take calcium supplements at the same time as my morning pred dose, are there any other wisdoms about taking Vit D, potassium etc at the same time as pred ? or is it better to not take anything else at the same time? thanks

Time and again I see recommendations that one should speak to an MPN specialist or someone else on one's care team - and I have a quiet chuckle and just carry on with my life. I am Coeliac around 2010 I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and Essential Thrombocythemia; since then I have progressed

Hi, Here are the Blue Horizon test results for my friend where I think she's showing hypothyroid because of the low T4. Do you agree? Is Total T4 also a bit low in range, do you think?Next step will probably be to get the gp to test again and check the low T4 wasn't a one off as there's no thyroid panel

Slow Breathing Practice
2 years ago at 56, I went into syncope twice. The first time I was walking in a park and doing deep breathing. (like many I misinterpreted slow breathing with hyperventilation). A week later while hospitalized for rapid afib as I was about to go for a cardioversion, I walked to the bathroom doing deep

Is this hypothyroidism?
Hello, a friend just had some thyroid blood tests back from Blue Horizon and I wanted to check with you if you think they're hypothyroid. I'll ask permission from her to post the results in detail but for now I can give a basic overview. Background info, she's often tired and cold, and has mental health

Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good. Also had a lot of back and neck pain, which has been treated by an

What should your resting heart rate be?
From the podcast from Dr. John Day (https://drjohnday.com) , with the title:
"What Should Your Resting Heart Rate Be?
If you consult online with the Mayo Clinic, they will tell you that a normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 bpm. While this may be a typical resting heart rate, it is certainly

Oh dear 😤
I’ve spent an annoying few weeks feeling dizzy, falling over, being sick and slurring my speech, feeling confused. No fuel in tank at all. BP spiking inexplicably. Still trying to get this sorted out at Primary Care Level as waiting list in secondary care in NW England is longer than my life expectancy

Does anyone take Vit K2 to help with bones?
I have had a slightly raised calcium level for more than 20 years. Consultant is not perturbed, as it never 'spikes' and is tested regularly. I do not take calcium along with Pred for the above reason. I understand that vit K2 helps to put calcium into bones and not leave it in blood vessels etc. When

are you taking vitamins / supplements, in conjunction with use of a prescription bone treatment?
let me know how it's going, and what you're using, please, thanks ... after all, the main trial for prolia had participants on daily calcium supplement with vitamin D.
