Chronic boils anyone?
I'm stage 3b due to chronic kidney infections causing "inflammatory changes." I take activated Vit B6, antioxidants, sodium bicarb and get prolonged sun exposure (Vit D). My immune system doesn't seem to be compromised. I caught my first cold in years and it was super mild and only lasted 3 days.

Do you supposed to feel anything for CKD? And what are the symptoms?
Hello everyone I found out I have CKD in the last October with 1.48 creatinine, I met a very unhelpful doctor who just told me to have a low protein diet, and I didn't know what it was so I had to go online googled, then I found out CKD patients shouldn't eat high potassium, high phosphorus, high sodium

I took was 10 weeks ago and in comparison to how much I took its outstanding. I think low stress has been the main thing that's helped, resulting in solid bms.

Here is an extract what I read on Gutsense.org re salt
Moderate consumption of salt. Salt was always prized as one of the most valuable foods. The Roman centurions were paid salārium, or salt money (either in salt or money to buy salt). The table salt in the American diet is the sole source of iodine, a trace element essential for thyroid health. Salt is

Sodium levels
Hi So I’ve been suffering with tinnitus , light headed, and balance problems for years now . I’m just wondering if anyone has any sodium problems as I was reading about sodium today and now I’ve scared myself thinking that’s what it is . Sorry I’m at a loss as I have no answers at all ☹️ . Thanks

Okay, so apparently when I had bloodwork done a couple of weeks ago, someone didn't enter something correctly so I had to go back again. Finally went yesterday (lots of other things going on this past week I couldn't get it done any sooner). I received the results this morning on MyChart and they look

Albumin Creatinine Ratio Urine
At his last blood test my husbands Albumine /Creatinine level was 34.5. It is supposed to be under 2. His kidney specialist says it's because he eats too much salt but his sodium levels are always low normal. Can anyone tell me what this high reading means and how can I bring it down. Thanks.

I have spent years oscillating between feeling well and hardly being able to get out of bed . I practice yoga, rest

Mistreatment of women by the NHS
I wonder if there will ever be an investigation into the woefully inadequate treatment of hypothyroid patients ( who again are largely female ).
