Best Vit K2 Supplement UK, Anyone?
Hi all, I have osteoporosis but no fractures. Consultant says my spine is not bad on my latest MRI. I'm 66. However, he wants me to take Risedronate 35mg starting from now. Worried as I am about potential future breaks, I really don't want to take it, mainly because of the possible side effects. I already

Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

folic acid
Hi I’m taking 15 mg methotrexate & 5mg folic acid the day after . The day after the folic acid I am very bad, spaced out, headaches & dizzy for few days. I put it down to the methotrexate but recently I forgot the folic acid & took it late. I got all the side effects straight after the folic acid so

Feeling rather blue
So I've been at a fairly useless clinic for the past 5 years - managed 2xICI and 1 egg collection with 2 embryos at the end. All chemicals/ failures. I had a consultation with one of the consultants about my treatment. He dismissed any supplements other than folic acid and vitamin D. Said my AMH (12.07

osteoporosis following pmr
my pmr diagnosis coincided with the start of lockdown so I never saw a doctor. I was eventually prescribed pred and omeprazol over the phone in May 2020 and thankfully managed to taper down to zero by early 2023 after major abdominal surgery. All seems fine for now but my new Gp was shocked that I never

Comprehensive CKD and healthy Diet app
If you are aware of any reputable comprehensive apps to help track food intake for CKD patients. I would love a recommendation.

Covid Strikes Again!
I had my second bout of covid just last week. However this time I was mentally ready. My immune systems in tip top shape with the now very healthy diet I eat, full of vitamins and minerals that my body needs. It was mild, with me having a mild temperature for a day and a runny nose for a week. One

Pluvicto
My brother will go for his second treatment on June 19th. Spoke to the PA yesterday. She said he’ll now get 80% dosage instead of 100%, because they’ve found out it has the same effect. Anyone else hear about this? All labs are good….PSA down from 250 to 215, hemoglobin is at 8.5, calcium is slightly

Should I ask to go up on my levothyroxine dosage?
Hi everyone! As suggested, I followed everyone's advice regarding the blood test, and also I've been taking the levothyroxine earlier (leaving more of a gap before eating or taking other medications) for a month, and my latest results are: Serum free T4 level 12.0 pmol/L [7.9 - 14.4] Normal 05 Apr
