Parkwalk update
Hey Everyone Thanks for all the comments on me doing the parkrun at the weekend. I've taken all the comments on board and I've decided I'm going to walk it. I've run the course before and as I've volunteered since my heart attack I know a lot of the regular volunteers so I'm going to let them know I'm

Antidepressants and other meds
Hi all, especially Sue who I'm hoping can help. I have at last had blood tests which showed my levels were around 50, which she said wasn't that low, but I'm now on Iron 200mg a day, havibg another blood test in January. Also my sodium levels were little low so was told to use more salt on my food.

Not the day I originally planned......
Hi EveryoneI fell off a step ladder putting the Christmas decorations away yesterday. I have no idea why I fell off the ladder was secure & I had already been up & down it a couple of times without incident. Next thing I know I am falling off & to the side thinking 'why am I falling off?' It wasn't the

More angina when walking
Hi all, I've started to get angina again when I walk and I'm worried my artery is blocking again. Just as a quick background had stent Oct 2021 for 99% blockage LAD artery. My symptoms were pain on walking. Pains never went away and in fact got much worse. November 21 had another stent for 99% blockage

Not sure and nervous about using GTN spray
I had my heart attack on 26th and stent fitted. Surprisingly feel absolutely fine , but occasionally get a ‘gentle’ discomfort in the middle of my chest which doesn’t immediately go and am not sure whether to use GTN or not. Any advice on who it is best to ask regarding this as it’s a bank holiday ?

Ray Peat & Thyroid Wisdom
Hi all :) I've mentioned a few times on this forum that the Keto/carnivore diet is the reason for my devastating decline into overt hypothyroidism where I became unresponsive to synthetics. Since that time, I've used this forum as well as the teachings of American physiologist Ray Peat to educate myself

Healthy normal colon at last - update on my story
Following my post nearly a year ago about the success I was having taking Sodium Butyrate I wanted to let you know that it worked! I had my colonoscopy yesterday and the whole colon is healthy with no inflammation or polyps. Seeing as I was ill for 25 yrs and was facing the prospect of having to start

blood tests and DXA scan
Following blood tests and a DXA scan I finally have results from the Endo. Re scan it states: T-scores have been reported as -1.3 at the left neck of fear and -1.9 at the lumbar spine. The calculated 10 years probability of a major osteoporotic fracture and that of a hip fracture is below intervention

Has any hypothyroidism or Hashimotos patient tried apillean weight loss supplement?
It can cost £50 to £100 per small tub in some places but it's selling but you can make this yourself at home. Alternatively according to this female doctor I spoke to at pub She said"You can use coffee instead of guarana, you can use nori seaweed if tolerated or kelp or tiny amount of wakame or if

blood test results
hi everyone I’m just going through my last lot of blood results.. ESR 1mm/hr Neutrophils 8.10 (2.1 - 7.4) Lymphocyte count 0.98 (1 - 3.6) Sodium 128 (should be 135+). Are these anything to be concerned about? My GP wasn’t worried - but just said he’ll recheck the sodium in December 🤔 (Apparently

Low Sodium
Yesterday I had my usual blood test as I’m on methotrexate, today I had a phone call from the Doctors Surgery to say they have made me a Doctors Appointment for tomorrow as they needed to see me urgently as apparently it showed I have low sodium levels which was fine on my last blood test in September

Blood Test Results, Help please... Second Cortisol test still showing as borderline Cushing's .
Apologies, I posted earlier, to the wrong forum... I'm just not with it. Sorry 😞 It's been a long, long time since I posted.Much as happened; too much. After years of asking about a Cortisol test and being constantly denied by the male GPs who said it was only the remit of a consultant to authorise

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Polyethylene Glycol - Rhinase Nasal Spray
I am trying to figure out if I have a sensitivity to Rhinase in my nose. If I spray it on my arm (inside part), and no reaction does that indicate no issue or is there a delayed reaction and/or mucus membranes act differently?

When to Seek Help
I had a bypass 12 years ago, and have to admit that, since then, I've been hypervigilant about any symptoms I have, partly because I also suffer from anxiety and partly because I am blatantly aware of the consequences of 'getting it wrong'. In the early days this led to two or three visits to A&E with
