Thanks for the informative information
Hello, I was diagnosed with PMR in August 2018, started on 15 mg pred, which worked like a dream. Been tapering ever since but have found it very difficult from 10 mg downwards. Now stuck on 7 for a good few weeks after having a really bad flare. That was when I, thankfully, found this forum, I had been

Good evening all, I’m a true newby! After 18 months of back and to, to the GP with shoulder pain, worsening depression and feeling lethargic I was made to feel that it was all in my head. I started to get a terrible headache and went for a private eye test. The optician was amazing and wrote a letter

Netfotmin and Mebendazole
Just became aware of taking Mebendazole a drug for hook worms etc..Also Metformin. Should these drugs be taken and advise your doctor that this is what you are doing?.

FDA investigating Metformin for Carcinogens
The investigation by the FDA of Metformin (probably the most investigated drug of all time given its long history for use with Type 2 diabetes) for the carcinogen NMDA is of some concern given the plethora of generic manufacturers of this drug, especially from India and China.

Can low dose NDT cause high cortisol? Insomnia?
First time taking low dose NDT and I preciously had a “somewhat high” 22 a.m. cortisol reading (I have adrenal PCOS with the Hashi’s).

My Uro and my general doctors refused to prescribe metformin for me since I am not a diabetic. I was thinking of trying it as a last resort to see if it can stable the psa progression. Has anyone faced the same situation or know how and where I can get a prescription to try it for 3 months. Thank you

Information wanted for blood sugar levels
Hello I am writing this for my husband who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about a year ago. He is 80 and was prescribed Metformin as he did not want to drastically change his diet.
