Update with Nephrology, Losartan discontinued from my treatment plan
To give an update for today, I talked with Nephrology and losartan was discontinued for now. I was told that hypoglycemia was a rare side effect of the medication so they would like for me to repeat labs in 2-4 weeks. As for my kidney function decreasing, I was told that the increase in BUN and Creatinine

Some food questions.
It's slow going but I'm heading to a vegetarian eating experience. I'm finding it hard to figure out where I should start, protein, potassium or sodium, not to mention calories or carbs. I spill protein, potassium has been way to high at times and I have a lot of edema (currently on a diuretics)

Heart spasms or whatever.
Keep getting sudden heart spasms , Make me really jump up and go owww. I have GTN spray but they keep happening. Any ideas what it is? I feel wrist pulse and seems to go erratic before returning to normal low pulse. Been getting more frequent and some achy feeling in between . Quite concerning.

Where to buy affordable Enzalutamide?
Just wondering if its possible to buy this drug anywhere at reasonable prices? I know I can get generic abiraterone from India which can be affordable. Only problem is my dad already has had abiraterone many years ago and I would like to add enzalutamide to radium 223 which has been proven safe and more

Efficacy of oral administration of licorice as an adjunct therapy on improving the symptoms of patients with Parkinson's disease, A randomiz
I don't have the complete paper, but this link shows a lot of it. They gave 5cc of licorice twice a day, which equals 136 mg of polyphenol-rich extract of licorice. I don't know how this relates to my Organic Licorice Root Extract 20:1 Powder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079N4Z72C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06

Any tips on managing Autoimmune and Long Covid
I have 4 autoimmune diseases, Hashimotos, hyper parathyroid, coeliac disease and pernicious anaemia and now Long Covid which appears to have put all the rest into over drive. I desperately want to be seen not by the usual suspects of specialists endocrinologists, cardiologist, neurologist, opthamologist

Preparing for a Colonoscopy when suffering with Cirrhosis. On going bowel issues. Future plans.
My Cirrhosis was discovered as I was having stomach pains and irregular bowel movements, often with a degree of urgency. This was last August.

Update on my phone appt. with Neph. last Wed.
3 months ago myNeph. had said he may take me off Prednisone in Jan. as an experiment to see if my kidney numbers stayed up since when I started Pred. they jumped from eGFR of 28 up to 50. It had been 35 - 30 the previous 4 or 5 years. My Jan. labs showed I'd dropped to 42 which is still my best in 8

Can Ketone Esters provide Ketones without a Ketone diet?
Back in 2013, Dr. Mary Newport gave a Ted talk on her re-discovery of MCT oil (she'd been aware of it for several years). In short, it greatly helped her husband with AZ. More recently, Ketone Esters are said to be even more potent than MCT oil. This video is from Dr Newport's talk. I've started looking

Loperamide or Budenoside
I have just been diagnosed with collagenous colitis and have a telephone appointment next week. From my research budenoside is a recommended treatment but my GP said it’s usually loperamide which is the same as Imodium. I’ve been using Imodium but as soon as it wears off the diarrhoea returns.

Burning legs a statin side effect?
I started statins approx 2 yrs ago following a diagnosis of CVD. It’s hard to put a time on it but I’m sure that it’s since then that I started with burning legs. I’ve changed from Atorvastin to Simvastatin because I’d also started having discoid eczema. The eczema on my legs seems much better although
