prednisone and side effects/ dosage related
hi I am presently on 8 mg for PMR. I’ve been on 8 mg for a couple of weeks. I’m wondering do people have food cravings and weight gain issues on 8 mg. I find I have to completely watch every morsel of food I put in my mouth and I must stay low-carb just to maintain, I lose very very very slowly but

Moderate eating diary to track instances of GERD.
I have decided to keep a diary, consisting of my stomach condition on rising and the foods and medicines I take thereafter, during the day. And at what point, if any, I have symptoms of Gerd.The idea is is pinpoint what triggers, might be causing the (every 2 days a week or so) of pain and bloating I'm

I was diagnosed May/June 23. I had just had my diabetes check and all was OK. Fast forward to December check and definitely not ok! I had been eating low carb and had lost weight. Life became very difficult from October with a nasty fall, mental heath crisis for our grandson while we were looking

How I reinvented myself after PMR
I have sat here and thought to myself I haven’t reinvented myself at all, I then thought again and realised that yes I have. Before my symptoms started I worked part time in a major supermarket and would take overtime. I started the symptoms and carried on thinking everything was okay and would improve

Chronic Hashimotos and long term side effects
Hi, I was diagnosed with Hashimotos 41 years ago after 6 years of feeling awful. A locum GP spotted a goitre in my throat as I was talking to him. I have been on 100 mcg of Thyroxine ever since. Now I am 66 . I have always suffered from hypoglycaemia-type symptoms after any type of exercise (even

Nausea - is it the pred, or something else?
Hello and thank you for the constant flow of useful insights. I know that stomach problems are a known side effect of steroid use, but I couldn’t see anything under nausea in the FAQs - sorry if I’ve missed it. This is my story: I’m 73, PMR diagnosed in summer 2020; since when I have reduced successfully

Brilliant presentation!
It’s good to hear that the right messages are getting out there. This presentation was at a Low Carb conference. https://youtu.be/ZE6-FHf-0oY?si=1KSnuGcRexz4SvMw

Liothyronin T3 and insulin resistance
I’ve been doing some research as my blood sugar levels (measured by HbA1C) have been persistently high despite exercise, low carb diet, weight loss and muscle gain. Prompted by the very wise SlowDragon that T3 can cause high sugars, I decided to delve deeper. I came across a lot of articles online

Visit to endocrinologist and Prednisone at wee hours.
I visit my, very helpful, endocrinologist every three months. Yesterday we were discussing my medication and I was telling her that I was taking prednisone at around 2-4 am in the morning -when I got up . She asked me why take it at night? Well, I had a garbled expression as to how we think about

Low Carb Plant Based Help!
I'm trying sooo hard to go plant based, but struggle getting full without chicken, turkey or fish (no red meat!). Every vegetarian recipe I find has lot of carbs, and as a diabetic, they all immediately raise my blood sugar (yes, even whole grains). I'd like to find about a dozen meals I can just cycle

Prof Tim Noakes and low carb diet benefits
I hope it's ok to attach a link to this Q&A session - it's clarified a lot for me and low carb is how I reduced my blood sugar when I was in the pre-diabetic range. He also explains that diabetes is a more serious disease than people believe. I found it very interesting. https://www.facebook.com/thenoakesfoundation

First Post and confused
Hi all. Not sure if I'm in the right group but trying to find answers. Thank you. I was diagnosed with IBS about 35 years ago. I started a low carb and keto way of eating 7 years ago and it's all settled down. However, the past six months I've had abdominal pain and bloating, worsening throughout
