Most efficient way to increase folate?
When I last tested in June my folate was very low, despite iron, Vit D and ferritin being ok. My ferritin is never brilliant, and v slow to increase but it doesn’t seem to cause me any issues. Folate however was below range (2.08ug/l) on the medichecks system. I did continue my supplements but had to

Thought of the day - B12 paradox
Like many aspects of life that we're all trying to grapple with, good health comes from a very fine balance. There is no 'one way' to do things, but a sweet spot in the middle. And I believe it's the same with diet, in particular B12. B12 is a regulator of homocysteine. Low B12 is a driver for high

running after hip replacement contd 3
After a break of about three weeks due to a cold I have just completed week4 again and am starting it for a third time. I'm being ultra cautious and keeping a close eye on the twinges I am getting in my thigh muscles. It feels very much like the muscles that worked so hard to protect my hip when it was

Weaning off painkillers
Had hip replacement 6 weeks ago.On 1000mg paracetemol and 60mg codeine 4 times a day pain relief. Had no advice about how long I should take this medication or how to manage coming off it. Would love a drink at Christmas. How long should I be on painkillers and can I get off them this week?

running after hip replacement contd 2
About a month ago I wrote about starting to run again after a hip replacement in February. It had gone well and starting at week 4 I did three runs before coming down with a nasty cough and cold (not Covid!) that laid me low. I ventured out again for the first time since then on Tuesday 13 and continued

Swelling After Hip Replacement
Hi, My husband had a 2nd hip replacement 2 weeks ago. His leg is extremely swollen , is very uncomfortable and not improving. It is not thrombosis as that was checked a few days ago when the physiotherapist registered concern. He is walking well and exercised religiously before and after the operation

New Here — Most Recent Arrhythmia
Hi, all — I initially posted this to the Afib Forum but just found this group, which seems more appropriate. I was experiencing episodes of tachycardia sometimes lasting up to a half hour or so. Being a non-cardiologist, my first thought was Afib and, indeed, that’s what my Apple Watch said. I ended

DOES ANYONE TAKE SONATA, LUNESTA, or RESTORIL for their RLS and if so, does it work for you?
Dr. Buchfuchrer's website list a host of drugs that have been prescribed over the years for RLS and their effects. Wondering if anyone takes either of these three for insomnia and RLS?

Bone met pain
I have mets to the pelvic area and one near the spine. The big area is my left hip socket area. I had a hip replacement of the right hip a few years ago and need the left one done now.However, with the mets there, it may not be possible. The socket is reamed out to one mm smaller than the artificial

Quinidine Sulphate
About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with Brugada Syndrome and had a de-fib fitted as well as prescibed Quinidine and Bisoloprol which I have taken ever since. 4 years ago my de-fib activated so my Consultant increased the levles of Quinidine. However I am told by my Consultant & Pharmacy that they cannot

Advice welcome PMR
After bing diagnosed with PMR in September 2021 I was started on Presdone 15mg. Tapered down slowly to 1mg. Then I started to get terrible pain in my thighs then the shoulder pain started again. I thought the pain in my thighs is due to having severe arthritis in my hip and waiting a hip replacement.

ELEVATED LABS AFTER SURGERY
I was diagnosed with MBC in the liver in March of 2019 and have been on Faslodex only since that time with stable scans and lab work. I fell 10/1 and fractured my femur near the hip. On 10/2 I had a partial left hip replacement. I missed my October oncology appointment and Faslodex shots. I saw the doctor

running after hip replacement - contd
I wrote a few days ago about my first post-op run. I had waited ten months but was reluctant to go back to square one so had started on week four. It went OK but the consensus seemed to be I should go back a bit. Setting off for run two I looked at the plans for earlier weeks but both mind and body rebelled

hip replacement soon
my hematologist wants me to get my platelets under 400 for my surgery so I had to up my hydroxyurea to every day instead of 4 a week. He’s ok with them in the 500 range but thinks it’s better for them to be lower for surgery. He says I can cut back after a month after surgery. I really want to stay

Increase Pred. before hip surgery?
I'm having my second hip replacement this coming Saturday and wondering whether to increase Pred dose prior to it. I'm on 5mg (stayed there since May when I had the other hip done). I didn't increase it last time just took 5mg the morning of op and discussed hydrocortisone support with the anaesthetist
