Cellulite
Can underactive thyroid cause really bad cellulite on the inside of the thighs? It is travelling down almost to my knees, one thigh appears worse than the other. I'm not a big person. I'm only age 57 but my skin honestly looks like that of a 70 year old. I did read somewhere that it could cause it,

Questran for Bile Acid Malabsorption
Does anyone know an alternative medication for Questran as there is now unavailability due to supply problems? I am having a bad attack of Bile Acid Malabsorption at the moment and am virtually housebound by it! Any help would be much appreciated š

I can see the exit from the tunnel and the sun is shining.
itās only taken 3 weeks after half a lifetime of RLS for 2 amazing medical professionals to get me on the road to recovery. Having spent over Ā£1k in going in the wrong direction with private medical care I found a Consultant Neurologist, I should say a member of this form found him and passed his name

is yoga ok?
Iāve very recently been diagnosed with glaucoma after losing sight in the top half of my right eye, which has been a real shock. Iāve been going to Yoga and Pilates classes for a number of years, both of which I feel have helped with a back issue and have kept me fit and very active at 67, Iām loath

Methionine restricted diet for recurring PSA and positive PMSA pet scan w/ 1 bone met
quick to the point. PSMA pet showed 1 L2 small met and some lymph activity. My PSA went from 2.01 to 2.9 in one month. after doing some research on diets and supplements . I found that the keto diet is extremely high in the amino acid methionine and I made it worse trying to reduce my blood pressure

Very high cholesterol is it linked to an under active Thyroid?
I have asked for a blood test and it's come out at 9,5. I have been getting palpitations lately they hay checked my Thyroid and my levels are fine. I am just concerned because I can't understand why it is so high. I know I'm over weight but I don't have a high fat diet and I walk between 3 and 4 miles

Cialis blues
Severe muscle cramps nighttime in my legs have recently been wrecking my sleep. After reading up, I discovered that pain in legs can be a side effect of tadalafil/ cialis. After quitting, the cramps rapidly receeded and after less than a week no longer appear. I had been taking 5 mg daily for 4-6 months

Blood in syringe
Hi all Just a quick question to those who self inject please. I've just given myself my peg shot, and when I removed the syringe, I noticed that there was blood inside it even though I didn't pull back the syringe in any way while injecting. I did get a bit of blood collecting on my skin after removing

Rheumy Nurse?
I am puzzled. This site has many references to apparent support teams. I am delighted if that is general. For myself the only contact with the NHS I have is my GP. It is alleged that there is a very overdue appointment with a consultant. Maybe I shall be able to elicit information about some kind
