Feel shaky after breakfast
6 weeks ago had 3 stents fitted due to heart attack. All seems well other than weird feelings after breakfast and even one evening. Sort of bubbly inside and the evening one I was shaky on my feet so immediately sat down and ate a sweet as I feared low blood sugar felt fine soon after. I take Metformin

Blood test timing when insulin dependent
I have been underactive ever since RAI over thirty years ago. Unfortunately, due to poor management of thyroxine dosage (consultant didn't know what he was doing and left me to GP) I gained a lot of weight which just wouldn't shift. So I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and was prescribed Metformin

Decapeptyl SR and the side effects with other medications, which has caused such bad rib cage structure effects?
I have pectus carinatum/pigeon chest from when aged 10 left over from meningitis, I also have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy, not a good mixture, as such have probably broken every rib in my already weakened chest? I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in 2022, but the Decapeptyl SR injections considerably

Long, rambing, mostly incoherent post (re B12)
Okay, so a few months ago, I was injecting once a week, then twice a week and so on working my way towards every day...I was injecting EOD, when I got a form from the social welfare demanding to know why I'd not gotten a job etc (they do this to me every 6 months or so). Part of the form asked (indirectly

Development of metformin resistance in PCa cells after long-term treatment
I just came across this article that seems to suggest PC cells develop resistance to metformin after "long term use" which can be reversed by withholding metformin for 30 days: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-023-01516-2 Under the Results section: >Metformin resistance was suggested to be associated

Methionine restricted diet for recurring PSA and positive PMSA pet scan w/ 1 bone met
quick to the point. PSMA pet showed 1 L2 small met and some lymph activity. My PSA went from 2.01 to 2.9 in one month. after doing some research on diets and supplements . I found that the keto diet is extremely high in the amino acid methionine and I made it worse trying to reduce my blood pressure

Metformin during pregnancy
I heard this dilemma so much around metformin, whether or not to take it during pregnancy. Is someone has pcos and insulin resistance, will it be better to continue metformin after conceiving naturally? Does it have any side effects? No one gives a concrete answer to this. Advices much appreciated

Anyone know about Dr's or consultants prescribing metformin for endometriosis?
I recently got access to ALL my medical records from the consultants I had been referred to over the years and saw that in the past I had been prescribed metformin, altavita and amitryptaline at the same time by an endocrinologist. I presumed at the time it was for my underactive Thyroid and wasn't on

New Tablets Interest
After cardiologist decided my left ventricle was fully blocked with plaque and it was as hard as a rock he said that the right ventricle had took over the job of purifying the arteries and had been doing this for a while, he suggested the best method to go forward was to leave things as they are and

Waste of time at new Endo
Hi all just thought I'd UPDATE after my daughters visit with the new Endo. On a scale of 1-10. I rate him a 2! The nurse took her BP and asked weight & hgt. Then the Dr walks in , says ok let's look at labs , remarked all look good. Daughter goes on to say she's put on weight despite working out and

Previous Heart attack/stent
2016 when my life changed. I look back now and see that my life in a wierd form changed for the better following my heart attack at the age of 55. Since having the stent placed I realised how restricted my body had been and the relief this procedure had given me. I attended rehabilitation classes for

metformin & tsh level
does anybody have any experience with metformin lowering TSH level? I came upon a study that said it can lower tsh in hypo patients. My daughter has been on 500 mg metformin for years. Her tsh is always low and she has a ton of hypo symptoms. I have hashimotos and my gut tells me she is headed there.

NEW TABLET CHEMYDUR 60XL
I have started to self medicate and been given new tablets the ones above and included on the packet Isosorbida-5-mononitrate. It seems an important addition as I have had around 4 medical people phone me and asking about them and if I have any side affects taking them, I am only having half a tablet
