Low platelets increased PT bloods and 'burning mouth syndrome' treatment.

Anticoagulants - Warfarin v NOACs
Recently my EP suggested that maybe I would prefer to be taking NOACs rather than my current anticoagulant Warfarin as it would reduce blood tests. On his recommendation I had a consultation with my GP to discuss this option. I have had 2 occasions in the past 6 years where I have had a serious bleed

Warfarin not raising inr....why?
I've been taking warfarin for 4 weeks trying to get to inr level between 2-3. Even though I'm taking higher dose 8mg my INR is staying at 1.3. I thought by 4 weeks it would have gone up on that dose. It's a pain because I got to have bloods taken every 3 days to see if it goes up. I'm not taking any

Energy back finally
it’s been a long haul. I am happy to say that after much dreaded fatigue, off and on when tapering ,I am finally feeling well with energy to live a normal style life. Adrenals were acting up a lot when trying to reduce from 3 down. Now at 2.25. Question , does this mean adrenals are functioning good

Vit D.
Quick question. How long does it take for Vit D to hit your system, any ideas? My Dr suggested I double my dose as it’s a bit on the low side so I’m taking 4000iu with Vit K 2 MK-7. I’ve done this for a week and I’ve just noticed my muscles aren’t aching so much and I’ve got a little more energy.

Best Vit K2 +Vit D3?
Hi. I've been reading here about vits K2 +D3, and am keen to try it as I don't want to take Alendronic acid. However, there's so many "makes"! I'm in the UK. I know you can't advertise but what should I be looking out for? Mk7 for vit K is the thing, containing natto I see from some posts, but what is

Diabetes and APs / Keto
i was diagnosed as APS back in 2005 and had stable INR controlled with warferin since then. A few months ago my cholesterol and glucose levels were high. just on the cusp of Type 2 diabetes. I lost 10kg weight with mix of diet and a lot more exercise. My cholesterol and glucose levels fine again.

Warfarin - Arterial Calcification
I keep hearing that there is a risk of arterial calcification in the arteries when on Warfarin> Something about the relationship between Vitamin D, Vitamin K and the way Calcium should travel to the bones rather than remain in the blood stream. Now I have been advised to take vitamin D as I seem

Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good.

avocado - anyone else ?
Hi and happy summer solstice, I’ve recently been trying to improve my diet and read that avocado has many good features, such as high fiber, good fat, vitamin c, b vitamins, folate, vitamin k, and something about it helps the body produce glutathione (an antioxidant which helps protect the liver.)

New umbrella study of cheese & health outcomes [1]. The authors are Chinese – with the exception of Edward Giovannucci. A PubMed search for returned 20 papers where Giovannucci was leader (9), primary author (4) or co-author (7). So it’s not surprising to see his name on this Chinese study. His

My daughter's Iron panel results
Hello, Could I have help please with these results for my daughter? What does the overall pattern seem to suggest?
Iron
-good and no need to supplement?
TIBC and UIBC
are a bit alarming, but that may be because I don't understand the implications.
