Coronary Artery Calcification.
Does anyone know what causes coronary artery calcification? I've read that calcium supplements are more of a cause, than naturally occurring dietary calcium,

Magnesium butter
Decided to try Sweet Bee magnesium butter as supposed to help sleep and RLS. Rub it on soles of feet,legs plus forehead( my idea!). First night woke with RLS...since then really helped and no RLS during the night. Not cheap...£31 inc postage but only use small amount. May be worth a try?? I'm not on

How long did it take for your ACTH to come back?
Hi everyone, Hope your all safe and well. So i am currently taking 15mg of hydrocortisone a day. I was diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency after i had adrenal crisis last year. It has been about 14months now and a recent synactican test shows my cortisol level at 0mins at 70 and only rises

CTX score
HI, I've lowered my Dexa results in a year (but still higher than 5 years ago) All areas are in osteopenia now with spine being the worst at -2.1. I didn't realize you shouldn't change machines so last year it was -2.9 but I think that was part error. My doc is checking with place because differences

I chose not to take Vitamin D or calcium as they were within normal range. My DEXA scan a year later showed a 3.5 % increase in bone density in my hip with a T of -

AF Medications
I have had AF for a few months now, I have also attended A & E four times recently with palpations and chest pains. Each time they have given me either, sometimes both, potassium or magnesium intravenously. I have also had a kidney transplant (4 years ago). They cannot give me any more medication

Recent results following increase in Levothyroxine dose.Anything of note?
HiFollowing advice on the forum I asked GP for screening for Vit D etc at my recent review of increased dose. I have generalised osteoarthritis and a family rich in autoimmune diseases. Please see my results. The only comment made by GP is that Vit D a bit low and to take over the counter supplement.

Hashimoto's and insomnia
Anyone else struggles with insomnia especially whilst in a flare-up? My doctor has said that insomnia isn't a typical symptom of Hashimoto's hypothyroidism and will only prescribe drowsy antihistamines to help me sleep. Does anyone have any tips or supplements to help with this? I've tried sleep hygiene

No meds….yet
Hi New to this forum and RLS. Insomnia is crippling me and affecting everything from weight gain to cognitive abilities. I am desperately seeking sleep. GP has prescribed Quinine but little affect. Also on iron tablets, B12, Vit D, Magnesium. Next stop Ropinole. I’m scared to take this as there appears

Always thinking the worse
He recommended
Calcium
and
magnesium
. He asked if I have had any Charlie horses. And I have. There is so much stress in my life as well. So I'm going to try not to think about it and take the calcium and mag. End of rant, thanks for listening.

THANK YOU 🙏
Thank you to everyone that has helped with with my query around Magnesium Taurate. It appears Ethical Nutrition is recommended by Dr Gupta and is a lot cheaper than others I looked at. I thought it might be helpful to attach nutritional information to see what we’re getting! Thank you all.
