Amlodipine?
We've read here that Amlodipine could worsen RLS symptoms. I can't find references to trusted sources, i.e. Mayo Clinic, Dr. Buchfuhrer, etc. Will someone post a link for me? I am hoping to convince my husband's doctor to change his prescription away from calcium channel blockers. Thanks so much!

Hello Ladies and Gents There’s a lot of reading matter online about the claimed benefits of taking k2 to keep calcium from arteries and transporting it to bones where it should be. Does anyone have any info on any possible negative effects of k2 on heart patients on statins? otherwise it would seem

Latest blood test results - now including vitamin checks!
I love how knowledgeable and helpful people have been on here so I’m back! Nov 22 - TSH was 0.13. Doc was concerned I was over-medicated but I felt great, so she left me on my dose which was alternating 75mg one day and 100 the next. Jan 23 - TSH was 0.37. Not sure if it means anything that it’

Mitochondrial Protections from Exercise (Part Ib)
There have been very many studies published on the effects of exercise, especially of endurance/aerobic exercise, in restoring the number, the quality and the activity of mitochondria, both in the skeletal muscles, the heart and in the brain neurons. As these are our highest energy demanding tissues

repeat fractures
A year and a half ago I broke my left wrist when I fell while playing tennis. This was a severe break and required surgery. Two weeks later I was in a car accident and broke my right hand. I was being treated at Mayo for both injuries and I asked my orthopedic surgeon if I had osteoporosis. She said

A diagnosis! Yipee! Kawasaki Disease, look for calcified aneurysms! (also a question about warfarin)
Hey you lovely lot! So, some of you know that I needed a 2x CABG Jan 2022 aged 34 (very nearly my newly plumbed heart's birthday!) and every Dr/Cardiologiost that looked at my notes/history/angiograms came away scratching their heads and not understanding what had happened or why my vessels were so

Bones Absorbing Calcium
Does anyone know if there is a test to take to know how well or if our bones are absorbing the calcium we eat and calcium supplements we take? Does testing calcium in the blood tell us how much calcium our bones are absorbing ?

Will Not Crumble!
Hello lovelies first DEXA at 55 and -2.5 in the spine.... I guess those 4 years of prednisone in my late teens and twenties did a number.. or my dairy-free lifestyle (allergic since birth) not to mention 20 years of no beef/ pork ... so now what? I follow an anti-inflammatory diet with supplements

Magnesium biglycinate and levothyroxine - spacing of meds
Hi All I want to start taking magnesium biglycinate at night to help me sleep. I take my levothyroxine at night too. I usually take supplements in the day and the reason I wanted to take the thyroxine at night was because I wanted to avoid any contraindication issues that might occur. I know I will

Struggling with CoFactors
Hi everyone, I have a dilemma. I’ve had 2 B12 jabs in the last 6 months. I tried them because I have been feeling awful and suspected that it may be a deficiency. I suffered from folate deficiency a while back which was treated with folic acid by GP but I felt terrible on it and had to stop. Luckily

Suitable drugs for hypertension
I am due to see my GP on Wednesday and I know we will be having a conversation about my raised blood pressure (in the region of 159/70). I already know calcium channel blockers are not good for RLS and I cannot take beta blockers which make my heart go much too slow. Could any of you good folk give

I want to thank all of you who responded to my question on using calcium supplements. I received many replies on exercise, diet, efficacy and side effects which led me to conclude that my current lifestyle is more than adequate to maintain bone health without supplements. I want to trust my docs to

Magnesium in Parkinson’s disease: an update in clinical and basic aspects
Parkinson's has a long presymptomatic period, it's caused for the newborn, from magnesium deficiency during pregnancy & nursing which makes it so fewer dopamine nerves are created. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK507269/#_NBK507269_pubdet_
