Low Blood Sodium When On BTK Inhibitors
Wondering if anyone has developed low sodium levels while on Acalabrutinib, Ibrutinib, or Zanubrutinib. We are told to drink plenty of water while on these medications. My sodium levels have been dropping over the last few months. I know this can be caused by many things. Just wondering if the 40-

Maybe found some clues in bottled water
I think I have worked out why some bottled water upsets my IBS (D) and some doesn't. All mineral water has some natural bicarbonate. The waters that seem okay for me, I noticed have lower bicarb levels, and the ones that can upset me have much higher levels. I also found out that sodium bicarbonate

Withholding poo 💩
Hi, My son holds in his poo. He is on 4 movicol (he is 5 yo) but it makes no difference. He keeps holding it in. His stools are not hard or dry, it is mushy. He had an impaction last year that required hospitalisation. I am terrified it will happen again, or that he will slacken/stretch his bowels

4 Year Old Stool Withholding
Hi there, my daughter is almost 4 and has stool withheld for around 2 years. She’s on laxido and a stimulant laxative. This has consumed our lives and I am absolutely miserable. My daughter is undergoing an autism assessment - speech and language delay being one of her traits amongst a fair few others

blood group and being listed
my partner is at the very early stage of transplant assessment and today our transplant co-ordinator has told him that based on his current bloods and his blood group (A) she expects that if he were to be listed for transplant it would be a wait of weeks rather than months. He is actually not hugely

Heart rate over 100. Should I lower or up my Levo??
Hi I was wondering if someone had any advice on whether or not I should lower or up my Levo dose? I had upped from 100mg to 112.5 mg beginning of June, but my heart-rate just keeps going over 100bpm when I’m not doing anything. I’m still tired and feel as if I just can’t be bothered. I’ve been sitting

Keto, Eggs and PD Meds
So I decided that Keto was the way forward. Tried it when I was first DXed for 4 weeks but didn’t help. I probably expected too much in too little time. Anyway, 7 years later and I’m ready for the ‘big push’. Got my larder full of erithytol, almond flour, Keto snacks, MCT oil. Yesterday I had a breakfast

Problem with liquid levothyroxine?
Hi, I was prescribed liquid levo in July last year. I have been much better on it than I ever was on tablets. I have reduced my liothyronine from 60mcg a day to 47.5mcg as I became hyper. I have always had a lot of head aches but they have become more frequent and more severe over the last few months

GTN? What to expect.
I’ve been getting a chest pain since 1998, when I was blue-lighted to hospital, spent 5 days there having tests and then sent home after an angiogram gave me the all clear. I’ve described the pain to doctors who say it’s just like a heart attack and if it ever lasts for longer than usual I should call

Should I see a councillor
Hi all I’m 3 weeks post quadruple bypass which came out of the blue and was a total shock. Then last Tuesday it looks like I had a post surgery HT. The mental side kicked in from almost the start which is something I have never suffer with, I thought I’d be over it now but I’m still having tearful times

Melatonin for PD
Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine): powerful antioxidant that treats abnormalities in sleep-wake cycle, jet lag, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. Epileptic children have a higher incidence of sleep problems; epilepsy is exacerbated by sleep deprivation. Melatonin has antiepileptic activity. Mechanism
