Do I Poke The Bear?
I had my B12 jab last week, I get these every 2 months and am grateful to have them. I've suffered B12 issues since childhood, have dim memories of blood tests and B12 jabs back in the day. I changed surgeries in the early 90's due to moving and have been with this practice ever since. So I'm not sure

PMR - Tales of the Unexpected
I’d been suffering with what I thought was a severe PMR flare for weeks and weeks (very stiff leg muscles and sharp cramps especially in the thighs). I was of 5mg Prednisolone daily and was hoping as with past incidents it would settle down and things would return to normal. It didn’t so I eventually

Stopping ezetemibe
1 year post NSTEMI and stent and finally had a call from cardiologist. Basically all fine thankfully. They said I could stop ezetemibe but stay on 40mg atorvastatin. Bit confused as NHS website says ezetemibe is for life. My cholesterol numbers are good ( LDL 1, ratio 1.9, total 2.5, triglycerides 0.4

Advice needed on iron levels (plus an update on Targinact)
Hi everyone, I posted recently asking for advice about Targinact, which I started taking on 10 January. I had such an extreme and horrible reaction that I stopped taking it 15 days later. Given my dose was only 5/2.5mg daily, I haven't had any withdrawal issues other than feeling very tired and depressed

Is Splitting A Tablet Right Or Wrong?
I started getting more powder than I previously had done when splitting my 50’s Levo in half, so a while back I bought a 7 day container and added them to it as I show below. 50/100/50/100/50/100/75mcg. The other day when I saw the doctor about something else I happened to mention my Levo and he said
