RLS Help, no drugs
When I first developed RLS 10 years ago I got rid of it by limiting saturate fat in my diet and completely cutting out gluten. Gluten was the big trouble-maker (I made repeated attempts to check this out, it all confirmed it). However, I developed it again in a big way when I cut dairy out of my diet

Shocked, scared and emotional
I was admitted to York last Monday for an abdomen drain. Should have been here 1 night but still here as sodium levels are really low and they believe my liver could be failing fast. Being kept in until the end of the week then transferred to Leeds for transplant assessment. I was actually told yesterday

CKD/Diabetes
Following are my latest lab results. GFR has been in the 35-45 range for the last 3 years. I am also type 2 diabetic. I asked my nephrologist about diet, and he said to just watch sodium. Unfortunately, we do not have a diabetic/renal dietitian in my area and I'm driving myself nuts trying to balance

Bad night: worried about electrolyte imbalance, need support & reassurance
For the past couple of days, I've been worrying about my water intake and having too much or too little sodium and potassium. Now, it's all come to a head tonight and I'm starting to panic, as well. I realize my anxiety is only making things worse, but I am actually concerned about this: I don't consume

It's just got very difficult. I don't know what to think ... I know how incredibly lucky we have been and never thought we would ever get this far however the last six weeks have been so hard. Things have changed, my husband has deteriorated so much but I still have HOPE. My husband now 59 was diagnosed

Struggling with FND diagnosis
Hi everyone, I’m very glad to have found this site! I was diagnosed with FND at the end of January so this is all very new to me. To give you some background I have a very complex set of medical conditions- I have Cystic Fibrosis and underwent a successful double lung transplant in 2012, so I am immunosuppressed
