Why am I so breathless all the time and for so long?
Can someone help me, please. I have been breathless since July, 2015. Things got bad at Christmas and I was admitted to hospital for 6 days with suspected heart failure. My blood pressure was very high and I had badly swollen ankles, legs, hands and tummy. However, the cardiologist said my heart

Living with COPD
Hi I am a 71 year old grandma. As a child I suffered with asthma and it magically disappeared when I started smoking. In those days even doctors smoked. At age 65 I began to experience alergies and shortness of breath again. This progressed to COPD. I use two inhalers Spiriva & Symbicort and are on 24

St John’s Wort, the flower that can treat depression - and can interfere with other drugs INCLUDING Ibrutinib!

They also found fewer people taking St John’s Wort discontinued their treatment. This was due to

Supplements
I have been taking msm for several weeks and have added 1000mcg B12 in the last week and yesterday I had a few irregular heart beats (missing a beat) and was very tired. Could it be the B12. I have an underactive thyroid which is being treated with 125mcg of Levothyroxine.

Suplements
I have in the last few weeks started taking msm which seemed ok and in the last week to 10 days B12 at a dose of 1000mcg a day under the tongue. I didn,t feel too good today, tired slow and bit irregular heartbeat at times. Could it be the B12. Oh and I sometimes use magnesium oil.

At the end of my tether - should I get treatment in Europe?
Hi everyone - I've found this forum and it is fabulous. Well done and thank you - and sorry for the long post. I've been dealing with so-called subclinical hypothyroidism for more than three years. It runs in my family - mum, sister and maternal grandmother all diagnosed and on full meds for years.

Linda has pointed out cold pressed virgin avocado oil for frying with, it has a high smoke point. I need to check out the prices now.
Ok checked the prices, seems to be about double the price of my virgin cold pressed coconut oil. It is for sale on ebay via Argos, so will stick to my coconut oil. I know that Linda has issues with the MCTs in it though. So here is the link:- http://superfoodprofiles.com/avocado-oil-online

~What immunity have we with a reduced steroid intake for our PMR? ~
Continuing to struggle to get past 15mg Hydrocort, equivalent to 3mg Pred. As soon as I have dropped my morning dose from 7.5mg to 5mg I can confidently say that within 24 hours my legs/hips flare plus fatigue. Discomfort manageable but fatigue wears one down - told by my Rheumy that he wants me

Lupus and Sleep apnea
Please can anyone help I have been given a CPAP machine and I have tried 4 masks each keep lifting off my face, so no seal and the air pumps hard into my face, persevering but so so tired. Worried as the Lupus has damaged my right lung, could that be stopping the machine inflating my windpipe? Been so
