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)

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

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

Treatment of damages due to radiation
asked him why we do not use the know-how of doctors dealing with nuclear exposure. Many of us suffer from damages produced by radiation....like blood in stool, urine and other damages. However when I visit doctors, it seems they are ignorant of treatment for damages due to Radiation. I feel we should

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. I have had Bloods, Fibroscan and Ultrasound and from this, diagnosed. To date I haven't seen a NHS Consultant, although I have been referred. I did pay for a

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

Undiagnosed painful bladder with neuropathic extensions in legs and up to head.
Please help. My partner was admitted to hospital 9 days ago with an extremely painful bladder/urination problem accompanied by unquenchable thirst. A sudden and desperate need to urinate without actually urinating anything much at all, and then having to constantly retry. It also seems to have a neuropathic

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

Sodium Oligomannate
Today, there was a new article in Parkinson's News Today on Sodium Oligomannate being studied for Parkinson's Disease because Chinese studies have been so successful using this seaweed-extracted sodium for Alzheimer's disease. Seaweed is sometimes available in supermarkets, and I also see that it is

Lifestyle 🏊♀️ 🧘♀️ 🏃♀️💪🏻🚴🥗💧🍷🧂🍫👍 (long post alert - get a cuppa tea ☕️)
Lots of people ask about lifestyle & what has made a difference to ‘me’. Emphasis on me because everyone is so different. That said everyone should live as healthy as is possible, respecting ability, illness, and other limits people have. A 2 hr walk to me might be 10 minutes is all someone can manage

Probiotics for Parkinson's disease: Current evidence and future directions 2020
So... I'm taking lactobacillus casei Shirota, which is both the probiotic used in the PD study that showed it helped with bowel movements and is also anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal. It has been shown to reduce the EBV titers in your system too. If you think PD is autoimmune

Loperamide after budesonide
Has anyone managed their symptoms of Collagenous Collitis with loperamide/
Imodium
after coming off budesonide? I’ve finished the three month course of budesonide and now back on 3mg per day after some symptoms returned.

Changing brands of T4 - will I notice any difference?
Hi, I believe most of you here are in the UK so you may not know this brand (I'm in Belgium and I've had to order it from France), but I am about to switch from the Belgian brand L-Thyroxine to Thyrofix and I wondered whether anyone had any experience of the latter or a brand with the same or similar

Underactive Thyroid, Hashimoto, Anaemia or none of the above
Any thoughts on the below please? I am considered normal but hoping to see an Endo specialist privately. I do have some more blood test results re: blood count but thought these might be the key ones. Can add if needed Creatinine 83 (range 53 - 97) Calcium 2.41 mmol (no normal range) CKD 75ml/min/1.73m2

Low Sodium Salt
Thinking of my blood pressure I want to reduce the salt in my diet. I have some low sodium salt (Brand: Saxa So-Low) in which the reduced sodium is primarily taken up with potassium chloride instead. The packet says it contains 50% less sodium than table salt. It has 51% potassium chloride and 48% salt
