Preservatives and other ingredients in injections
Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has opinions about or has researched preferable preservatives/ingredients in injections. In the US, benzyl alcohol seems to be the primary preservative in my cyano injections (other ingredients NaCl, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, "no more than 625 mcg aluminum"). The

Thyroid bloods
Hi Since 2002 My various GPs go through the ritual of insisting on an annual blood test and stopping my prescription until I have one. I've over replaced my thyroxine for all this time because I originally did not respond to thyroxine levels I was prescribed . Long story, but until I over replaced I

Salt
Apparently it is (or was, as of yesterday) National Salt Awareness Week, organised by some worthies known as 'Action On Salt' (http://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/), with the hashtag ''#eatlessalt'. If nothing else, the existence of such things probably tells you all you need to know about our unhealthy relationship

World Salt Awareness Week
Hi everyone, This week is
World Salt Awareness Week
and this years theme is hidden salt in our food. In the US 70% of salt comes from packaged prepared and restaurant foods so how do we know the salt content of meals eaten out and thats the biggest source of sodium in some peoples diets. Too

Acalabrutinib three weeks appointment
I don’t know where my previous post went. Very likely, I did something wrong, so here it goes. The only side effect was bad headache for one week after which it became dull and I don’t even need to take Tylenol. Some fatigue and less energy and that is all. 👍🏻 My results are: WBC low at 3.9,

IBS D obsessed
Hi I have had IBS d for many years. I take Imodium daily just lately because most days I am in situations such as work meetings, places with no toilet or just worry that I will not reach a toilet due to previous attacks. The truth is though I may not actually need the Imodium as I haven’t had a bad attack

Advice re Chronic Fissure for a 40-year-old Athlete
Hi, I'm new here. Thanks to everyone who's already posted. I first developed an anal fissure in 2.5 years ago. I kept thinking it would heal on its own.

Levothyroxine sodium – Anhydrous vs. Pentahydrate
There is a difference between levothyroxine sodium (anhydrous) and the most common hydrated form, levothyroxine sodium pentahydrate. Five water molecules are attached to the levothyroxine sodium molecule in the pentahydrate; none in the anhydrous.

Esomeprazole after 14 days?!
I’m a bit confused by the advice on Nexium / Guardium / esomeprazole. It says you should consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or worsen after 14 days, and should stop taking it as soon as symptoms improve. Taking it for 2-3 days makes my symptoms disappear completely. However, once I

What to eat during a crisis? (No water or power)
I live in an area where we get hurricanes and we usually buy canned food to get through while we have no running water or power. With my recent diagnosis i can’t eat prepackaged, high sodium foods. What do you guys do or would recommend for a situation like this?

Flucuationg blood pressure
In the past several months, I've been reducing my prednisone from 5mg to currently 3mg. I've had high blood pressure for many years and take three medications for it (despite implementing all the lifestyle changes). About 8 weeks ago, my bp spiked to some very high levels...180/85. My internist added
