Possible help
I was wondering if there are anyone else who uses magnesium tablets and cod liver oil tablets supplements to boost their immune systems. I have been doing this for years and whilst I have severe asthma / copd but I never smoked. My asthma is controlled through drugs. I don't really get flare ups hut

Emetophobia and Flu Season
Everyone at school has been sick lately with influenza (flu) and the
common
cold
. My friend is also sick (i think with influenza) and I hung out with her a few days ago. The next day I started to get a runny nose and the day after that, it got worse and a scratchy throat appeared.

Hi Here are my results from 6th September TSH. 4.22. (0.34-5.6) FT4. 8.3. (7.5-21) No T3 tested (very unhelpful). In July it was 4.8 (3.5-5.6) The above was whilst on 1 1/4 grains NDT. Due to these results I have upped my dose to 1 1/2 also with Endocrinologist's agreement. I have been on this

Comtan increasing off times
Just started taking Comtan (along with usual sinemet) and find my off-times are drastically increased so that there's very little on-time. Didn't expect Comtan to have the opposite effect of what it's supposed to do. Also more foot dystonia (cramping) forcing me to walk on the outside edge--OUCH. And

Quality of life - PAF
Surely that is the case with any medical condition from a
common
cold
right up to the serious stuff. The medical profession is not only there to deal with life threatening problems. To those who have been given this brush off, my advice is do not accept the status quo but keep plugging away. Pete

Adding meds
I've had PD for almost 9 years. I've had nothing but Carbidopa/Levodopa 25/100,starting low with 1 1/2 tabs 3 times /daily. Now, 9 years later, I'm taking 2 tabs 5 times/daily. This doesn't cover me through the night, so, my doc ordered C/P 6 times/daily. He also ordered Comtan (entacapone) 1 tab 6 times

Health Check: does green mucus mean you’re infectious and need antibiotics?
While this article is written for the general public, not for those with CLL, I found the description of how our mucal secretions vary through the normal inflammatory sequence with respiratory infections from the
common
cold
, sinusitis and acute bronchitis respectively quite enlightening.
