Stopping vitamin supplements before a thyroid test
I am due for an annual thyroid test as my medication needs reviewing. I take vitamin D, omega 3 (fish oil), magnesium glycinate and vitamin B complex supplements. I know that I should stop taking the vitamin B tablets as they contain biotin but what about the other supplements? Should I stop taking them

A strange meal in an Italian restaurant
I was in London over the weekend supporting friends and family running the London Marathon. At the end we went to an Italian restaurant that had a couple of vegan options, but these did not appeal since they seemed heavy in nightshade plants. So I ordered 3 side dishes to come together as a main meal

Making Human Foie Gras – T2D 20
Because of an atricle I read in the news paper I Googled "Foie Gras". there is a lot to learn from this!!! Fatty liver is a duck or goose is known as Foie Gras. But humans get it too. Here it’s known as fatty liver disease or non alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). How do we get NASH? It all comes down

Pmr confirmed
Further to my first post last week, saw my gp today who confirmed pmr due to huge lowering in esr levels and crp levels since taking the prednisolone. He has reduced to prednisolone to 12.5 from 15 for one week and then to 10mg and then I need a further blood test and need to see him a week after. He

Ursodiol Dosage
I was recently diagnosed with PBC. The doctor said I was in the very early stages and prescribed Ursodiol. I take 500mg twice a day. Is that the typical dosage for this disease?

About Magnesium
Hi everyone. I've bought magnesium as I've heard great things about it. I'm not expecting a miracle cure or anything but I'm curious to try it. The only thing is I don't want to use it as a sleep aid just yet. I'd like to first try it out during the daytime, in the morning when my anxiety feels the worst

Just a little info about ursodiol
I found this article to be interesting. https://www.gastrojournal.org/article/S0016-5085(04)02000-1/fulltext My niece gave me this link to read. It’s a little outdated so not sure how accurate it is.

Effects of ursodiol
I have a niece who is into natural remedies for anything medical that requires medication. She was researching ursodiol and found that it can cause cancer Asked if I would try something natural instead. Is this an issue? Can it in actual fact cause cancer ??

Osteoporosis medication and RA
Hi I've just been told my osteopenia has progressed to osteoporosis - despite taking lots of Vit D and a bone strengthening HRT for the past 9 years! 🙄 I'm due to start alendronic acid and a calcium supplement next week and just wondering if anyone has experience of taking these with MXT (15ml).

Sleep Aid
One of the things I have found with RLS is that my head occasionally gets very hot and I end up turning my pillow over several times whilst trying to get to sleep. Recently I looked on the internet to see if there was an electrically cooled pillow, which there wasn't, but I found a Gel Pad that has

Alendronic acid
Hi all, Is there anyone who has had good Dexa scan results when taking Alendronic acid. If so, how long did you take it for, and how long have you been off it.

How much fat do we actually need?
There are some on this forum who think they need to eat a high-fat diet. There are others, like myself, who eat a predominantly low-fat diet. So let me ask how much fat is in your diet? Can you give an idea is terms of either weight or calories per day? Do you think that is enough? Why is it enough

PMR 101
Good Morning All I was lucky enough to be able to attend the meeting @ Artizan Library yesterday in London and learned lots from Dr Kate Gilbert. Glad to hear PMR & GCA are becoming of interest to researchers. I think some well known celeb or royal needs to get it for it to become a fashionable disease

Managing Chronic Kidney Disease: the Acid/Base Balance Approach
I am a 70 year old biologist with some medical education as well. I recently had a radical nephrectomy due to Renal Cell Carcinoma. My post operative blood chemistry changed dramatically w my eGFR dropping from 70 to 38 with corresponding somewhat dramatic increase in Creatinine, Phosphorus and Potassium
