Low sodium diet
Hi everyone!I am here, on this forum for my husband's CKD/proteinuria (all unexplained- kidney biopsy was "normal" as well as his genetic test). Anyway, his Nephrologist put him on low sodium November 30th. I went on it with him and haven't had a migraine since! So for those of you who are supporting

A huge Thank You and rash update
I want to thank everybody who supported and reassured me on my post two days ago. Thank you all for sharing your own experiences with me and to Barbara and Kat for sharing photos of their rashes which did suggest it was indeed a Lupus rash I had, as I’d suspected, when it looked so similar and was running

Question about use of Glyceryl Trinitrate
Recently been diagnosed as Anemic. Its affecting my heart. Does anyone know if using the above frequently, say 2 to 3 times a day causes the heart to weaken further or is it safe to do so in the long run?

Radium 223 Xofigo Treatment
I have considerable pain in my hips and tale bone 3 days after first injection of Xofigo. The Radiologists mentioned I could get pain flare a few days after the injection. Is there anyone familiar with Radium 223 side effects.

Stable Angina or Microvascular? Should I ask for further tests?
Hello Was diagnosed with stable angina on Monday after a couple of episodes running (chest pain, clammy, shaky). I've had an ECG today (all clear) and bloods taken. The doctor on Monday basically signed me off (that's what it felt like) and told me not to worry too much (easier said than done) and

GTN Spray or tablets?...
Hi. I'm due to go away for 3 months to a very hot area without Aircon or refrigeration. I not on my GTN spray it has a temperature storage range and I'll not be able to meet that range - it will be too hot. Would I be better off with tablets? Incidentally I've not had to use the spray once since a stent

It’s gone a bit pear shaped
I posted the other day about having a stress echo, I knew it hadn’t gone well after all it lead to an angina attack. I’ve been having mild chest pains ever since my quadruple CABG last June which I thought would improve but it hasn’t. My surgeon called me today to tell me it looks like there is a problem

Angina or not
Please can one some one explain if angina is always chest pain related. Since my Stents in Sept 2022 I have been having pain both arms neck and shoulders. I went into A&E once only after that and they said it was muscoskeletal pain. All the tests showed no HA. Also at what point do I take GTN spray if

Stopping Firmagon if castration resistant
The cocktail of painkillers plus Radium 223 is making me very tired at the moment. This may seem like a daft question but what is the position with continuing or stopping Firmagon when you're castration resistant? Is its purpose to control the spread of testosterone that would otherwise make the cancer

good blood test results
I was dreading these last blood tests as I’d been not feeling 100% of late for no particular reason. However: I was over the moon to learn that my bloods were ‘normal’. Kidney function even better: sodium going in the right direction and ferritin serum level significantly improved. just one fly

MCT Oil
in another thread someone posted today about MCT oil. I hadn’t heard of this and have tried to research it. It seems to be useful in a variety of situations and claims include support in weight gain, increased energy, constipation t and pain relief. Really it sounds a bit of a ‘cure all’. I’m wondering

Dietary restrictions and the workplace...
Hi all,I am wondering what your experiences with working and your diet? My department got rewarded with a pizza party. I requested a salad to accommodate low sodium diet. I was told no special treatment. Won't be showing up to that lunch despite being the team lead. Thoughts? Am I being the unreasonable
