My rheumy wants me off of prednisone as soon as possible
First of all, thanks to everyone who replied me, and gave me valuable advice on my previous post. This is an update. Previously, I mentioned that I wasn't happy with my first rheumy appointment as she thinks I don’t need steroids because my inflammation markers are in a normal range and this is not a

Small steps on the journey back to NSR
OK, I'm probably going to sound hopelessly optimistic here, but yesterday evening I met my EP Cardiologist who was giving a talk and update on AF and it cheered me up immensely. We hadn't met, but the technician who fitted the monitor told me to "make myself known". So I did. For the first time since

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

REMs scan result
Hi everyone, just wanted to share my good news with you all. I broke my back after a high impact fall from my kitchen worktop onto the floor in 2020. I had to fight for a Dexa scan after being advised to start bone meds. I had the scan last March results as follows. Dual Femur total -1.5 and lumbar spine

omega 3 supplement
Good morning everyone. I saw my cardiologist yesterday as I’m having a new knee next week and for my own peace of mind had an echocardiogram which shows my heart is now as it was before AF and high blood pressure were found 3 years ago. She said this showed my blood pressure tablets and healthier lifestyle

Brief update on my lower Intestinal Tract Capsule Endoscopy.
Just to let you know that the procedure went fine. Although the camera was a little larger than an Omega 3 high strength capsule, I found that with the right mindset I swallowed it easily. The staff were a little disconcerted about my long term steroid use and the possibility of an adrenal crisis and

Vasepa (icosapent ethyl)
I have been prescribed Vasepa (icosapent ethyl) for several years now to lower my triglycerides and it has worked very well . I also know that it is a specific omega-3 fatty acid EPA and now I'm wondering what effect it may also have on my recently diagnosed fatty liver (S3) & (F3)?

Alendronic Acid and Pred
My friend who's a long term sufferer of pmr (11 years) was down to 2.5mg but after a mishap had to back to 5mg. She had a review with a new young GP who told her that if she went back on Alendronic Acid, this would help her get off pred. Has anyone else been told this? Wouldn't we all be on it

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?

Taking R lipoic acid
I have been taking alpha lipoic acid for 18 months now. For the last 10 years everytime I’ve been to the clinic twice per year at least my stone loading increased - either new stones or larger stones. Since I have been taking lipoic acid my stones have remained the same size. I have read the feeds and

CPR Courses
There was an interesting post recently about training in resuscitation techniques. Inspired by this I contacted The Red Cross. Here's their reply, unfortunately no CPR training near to me, but for anyone in London, Salford, Edinburgh, or Belfast there's an opportunity to acquire a skill that might

Omega-3 DHA EPA and Prostate Cancer Risk
Dr. Mark Moyad is in my top list of doctors who are knowledgeable about Prostate Cancer, especially pertaining to diet and supplements. However I think this post is outdated regarding his comment that Omega-3 DHA EPA could be pro-PCa. I think the average Western Diet, especially in the USA has much

vitamin advice
hi, I’ve got myself bogged down in an effort to take supplements to help with bone loss. I was diagnosed with osteopenia following a DEXA scan. I don’t want to take Alendronic acid and my GP agreed with me taking vitamin D3 + K2 mk7 and magnesium glycinate and to have a further DEXA scan in three years
