Hiccups ?
I am getting regular hiccups for the last three days - Is this a sign of something seriously wrong ? I am 72 Yrs old on diabetics tablets and with insulin the sugar level is under control - I regularly have a peg of whiskey and ginger beer with the evening meal. Also, I take a few tablets daily to keep

October Challenge - Walk after Eating
And here is our new October challenge to try out on our walks! ★★★
Walk after a meal!
★★★ Well, I had chosen this subject matter before I pulled my left calf muscle, so I can only walk with everyone in spirit but also reminisce about the many after-dinner walks my family have had over the year

81 yr old husband got covid at physical therapy, ended up at er where they said he also had pneumonia, they also found (and removed) a quart of fluid from around his right lung. Said he had atrial fibrillation and he also needs an angioplasty. Took too long but finally got everything treated and surgery

Insulin
Im reading about Insulin and diabetics are more prone to PCa. What's the consensus on insulin with peeps that already have PCa? Im now on insulin until I can stop L/Z/P, or change to another ADT.

Unsure what to do?
Yesterday [Friday 22nd Sept] I recieved a call from the Hospital treating my Cirrhosis to inform me they have had a request from my Heptoligy Doctor for a Biopsy due to them not being able to determine the cause of continued elevating blood results, they have had a cancellation for Monday [25th].

My Sister's Death
My schizophrenic big sister was in and out of Assisted Living places for many years, after she could not take care of herself anymore. Several years ago, the R.N./OWNER of one I moved my sister to, began making serious mistakes with the medication. I called the pharmacy and was told my sister had not

Health News: Nourishment for Eyes
When my Mom was 6, an Alsatian (German Shepherd) dog jumped up on her, jarring her head round to look, left her with a cast in her right eye. Known as strabismus, the ancient Greek for squinting. More accurately, it means the affected eye can’t really focus and can thus appear as a cross-eye. Off her

Pre-biotics vs post biotics - do we need pre, post or both?
This is a follow up post to the recent one about inulin. I had spent a lot of time involved with post-biotics but never really considered pre-biotics at all to date. This all changed quite recently when I stumbled across inulin which is described in a recent post so will not repeat all those comments

Long term side effects of using steroids
https://www.verywellhealth.com/steroid-side-effects-83089 A huge long description of all the problems with steroids. It was not till I saw specialists like Endocrinologist AND Rheumatologist that I was made more aware of the concerns. My PCP loves steroids., like just take more insulin, how about 50%

Private endo strongly suspects I have PCOS
Hello, I have Hashimoto's and hypothyroidism and am on 162.5 mcg levo and 25 mcg T3. I'm slightly over medicated and trying to lower my dose gradually. Today I saw a private endo for the first time who looked at my fasting insulin (6.6) and said it shows I have insulin resistance. My testosterone is

Inulin pre-biotic - bowels/stomach restoration aid
Hi All, It seems to me one of the most common hypo complaints revolves around a slighty lazy digestion and slower bowels than desirable with poor absorption of nutrition from the food and a life taken up with researching any buying a load of supplements to mitigate the shortfall. This has certainly

I am down to 2mg prednisone. Not noticing typical PMR symptoms
After I got on Methotrexate and Hydroxychloroquine, the right hand wrist and finger swelling went away, and I was able to start dropping pred from 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 now. While I am glad for this, I am mad that only a rheumy was smart-experienced enough to think of it, I likely could have saved months

Needle disposal hack
I use a B D Safe Clip available on Amazon for insulin needles. I snap the needle off and throw the rest in the normal trash. I used to keep all the items used for injecting to be able to prove I was not using controlled substances. It is illegal to import B12 for injecting in the USA, it is not currently

Paleontology Diet – By Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield
Excerpt from the transcript of a talk given by the late Dr Barry Durrant-Peatfield at one of TPA's Annual Conferences several years ago.
I'm posting this here because we've recently had a few questions/posts about extreme diets such as the carnivor diet. Personally, I think what Dr Peatfield

Quite a good bit of deep red blood in stool **graphic photo of just blood**(stool is blotted out of picture)
This happened yesterday morning. It also has happened a few times before. It's not continuous but rather comes and goes. It could be months before it happens again. I might add that I'm a diabetic with uncontrolled diabetes currently. I have pcos as well. I'm on anxiety meds along with insulin.
