PPI complications
I've now had my endoscopy. I wanted to find out what state my stomach was in after taking PPIs (Omeprazol) for over 5 years and an H2 Blocker for 15 years before that (the now withdrawn Ranitidine of carcinogenic fame). What the endoscopy revealed were fundic polyps which are 'accepted' as a standard

Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Burning Mouth Syndrome with narcotic use
Has anyone experienced burning mouth/tongue while using narcotics for RLS? I think it may take a long while to occur after starting narcotics. I have reduced the BMS and occurrence of RLS using Solgar brand Omega 3 Fish Oil Concentrate (Amazon), which also greatly reduces joint pain, you can take 7-8

Curing RLS not just treating the symptoms
Thank you for the priceless pages of RLS tips and advice! I’ve been struggling to diagnose my 3 year old son’s sleep issues his entire life. A sleep study reveled his “kicking legs” last year which (we believe) set us on the right path. So far, adding
Gaba, 60 mg of iron (Atrium sleep clinic prescribed

Possible hypothyroidism, No Thyroid and on 50mg Levo since Nov 22
Hi I've recently joined and very interested to see so many interesting posts. I wanted to ask if others with no thyroid are on such a low dose of Levothyroxine. In 2014 following a thyroidectomy I was started on 150mg and have been reduced steadily down and am now on 50mg as my TSH each time reduces

very high cholesterol
I had a visit with my cardiologist (my hero as she was the one to suspect GCA two years ago while dealing with uncontrollable blood pressure and head pain and eye issues) so she knows my whole GCA story. Anyways my cholesterol has gotten very out of control even with taking Crestor, my cholesterol levels

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

Sourcing advice please
Hi I went to my GP in April with this problem. My GP practice give you forms for self booking for Rheumatology at choice of 2 hospitals. Both have no appointments available. I rang and was told 18 to 34 week wait but even then you have to go on a waiting list to get the appointment before that. I booked

bp very up and down
Most of the time I can coast along and my systolic bp is acceptable but just sometimes it goes up rather for apparently no reason. I then have to start taking Candesartan again for a day or two and then taper off with every other day for a week or so and it goes back down. I do all the deep breathing

Pmr for 2nd time!
Hi, just a question for Members who have had PMR twice. Where your symptoms exactly the same the second time. I am feeling very poorly at the moment and am banging my head up against the wall with my Doctor. I feel as if it is PMR again. My ESR is 32. The only difference this time is that my fingers

PA in a child?
Does anybody have any experience of PA in children? My almost 6 year old daughter has been suffering with mouth ulcers for the past 6 months and I’m just wondering if she might have PA? I was diagnosed at 23 (now 40). My sister, brother and nephew (14) have recently tested positive for intrinsic factor

Is Simvastatin more effective than the other statins, against PCa?
Patrick O'Shea and others interesting in the effects of statins on prostate cancer suppression, do you find anything about this study that reinforces the use of Simvastatin over other statins, or is it insignificant because it's not a study on men? I didn't try to translate the amount/dosage in this

MMA results - supplements or further test?
Can I ask for your advice please? I have Hashmito’s. Since learning that this can influence the absorption of nutrients, I have been to the doctor’s to request tests. Last B12 test: 229 ng/l (190-910) I used B12 symptoms checklist which suggests severe deficiency. Neither of this seemed to worry

Vitamin D - daily dose?
when I was first diagnosed with PBC my Vit D levels were low so had a high dose supplement which brought levels up to normal range. Bone density scan was OK. With general vitamin supplement and cod liver oil in winter months I take 10 microg of Vit D. I would be interested to hear how much anyone else
