PLMD and withdrawal
Three weeks ago I stopped (after tapering slowly) gabapentin. I have also been reducing morphine sulphate from 8mg by .01mL every 5 days for the last three weeks. PLMD off the charts. I take 2mg lunesta every 3 nights -- and not more -- in the hopes of not getting addicted. Those nights are better

High urine ph from calcium supplements
Has anyone one had high urine ph from taking plant based calcium? My dr wants me to completely stop taking my calcium for 2 weeks to see if that is the reason. Im worried about not taking calcium for 2 weeks but he said nothing will happen in two weeks to my bones. But i believe it is this supplement

Slippery Elm & Lansoprazol
I'm asking advice for my son. It's about timings etc re slippery elm, supplements and slippery elm. He's 40 and on Lazoprasole for almost 12 years for slight hiatus hernia. Each time he's not taken it, due to prescription mix up, he gets bad acid symptoms. At the moment he's having an acid flare up.

Calcium without sweeteners
Does anyone know of a calcium/D3 supplement without sucrose or other artificial sweeteners which a GP will prescribe? There are plenty of over-the-counter products but I haven't been able to identify one which my GP is happy to prescribe.

I asked ChatGPT about Fosamax. How does the medication Fosamax fake your DEXA score?
This was the reply. Fosamax (alendronate) is a bisphosphonate medication used to treat and prevent osteoporosis. It works by inhibiting bone resorption, which is the process where bone is broken down and its minerals are released into the bloodstream. Here’s how Fosamax can influence Dexa (Dual-energy

Advice following GP visit please
Hi, I posted a few days ago asking for advice after having had results back from blood tests and struggling to see my GP. Well, I finally saw her today. She was sympathetic, and has referred my results to an endocrinologist for guidance. I wanted to get some thoughts on something she did say, bearing

Yet another mess...
I am coming to the end of my B12 pills and being on the lower pension and every penny counts, wondered if I needed to reorder. So I phoned the surgery to request a blood test, and was told the GP would phone me back. So far, so good. A GP phoned, introduced herself as the new GP at the surgery. I

Long Term Avoidance of calcium
Hello, I am male and 62yo. I have had issues with digesting dairy products for a number of years. At my last GP blood test the calcium number was 'normal' but I understand that this only gives a number for the calcium in the blood. Other blood results are normal. I am suffering from muscle aches, tingling

Alternatives to milk
I know there are lots of milk alternatives, eg soy milk, oat milk etc - does anyone know which one is the best for people trying to avoid calcium? I don’t really want to try soy milk, and as far as I can see, oats have some calcium. Does anyone know of a calcium free alternative? Thank you.

Can Sodium or Calcium Channel Blockers Worsen SVT?
Okay, so I have a new med that I am trying, Propafenone. I have failed Norpace and also Flecainide. The problem I am having is that it seems that these medicines are making the SVT worse. I have Atrial Tachycardia. I cannot find any information about this. Where can I get more information? My doctor

Prostrate Cancer treatment ADT
HiI am being treated for PC. After diagnose I was put on ADT treatment. This stops testosterone production. Had a bone scan and found I have osteopenia. I am taking a calcium citrate with vitamin D. Also once per week Alendronate 70mg. Has anyone else been in the same boat? Thanks
