FDA is making it illegal for compounding pharmacies to compound 300 nutrients. This is an attack on all the Laura Mischleys.
Below is an email I got from the American Association of naturopathic doctors & McGuff Compounding Pharmacy Services, Inc. who makes injectable thiamine for some of us.

CKD SYMPTOMS
A year ago I was told my creatine level was showing signs of CKD was put on very restrictive diet low potassium sodium and phosphorous also reduced protein. Having heart palpitations and short breath. Is this a result of CKD.

What Should I Do??? So Upset!
I just found out that my eGFR is 59 (down from 61 three months ago) And I am in panic mode! Dr. isn't concerned...my blood protein, sodium, albumin are normal. My creatinine is upper limits of normal at.97 (normal up to 1.0) I have no symptoms. I also have borderline osteoporosis and was told by my doctor

5 year old, no longer constipated, but is scared to poo and withholds it
Hello all. Our 5 year old son was constipated 10 days ago but we gave him movicol and suppositories and got all the backlog out. However, he is now refusing to let his soft poo come out. He is shouting from pain and is in a very bad mood and is unpleasant to be with (very different from his regular character

I might not be fine on T4 only after all
This is a post I did not expect to be writing, but I may be about to join the T3 crowd for good.
