Hello ! My name is Jess and I have been dealing with Gastroperesis for over 25 years. I am SOOOO tired of it! I constantly get a distended bloated stomach, some from gas and some from the slow digestion and not be able to go. I also have IBS-C ( constipation) so this makes matters worse. I take

Introducing Myself
Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce myself. I've been caring for my mum for several years now. She is 93 and she has arthritis and had heart surgery about 6 years ago. Recently she has deteriorated and, although I'm familiar with the care system and its limitations, I find myself struggling. I work

Needing some suggestions to sitting for hours in hospital
I am 26 and on warfarin for a mechanical aortic valve inserted in April 23. I need to be tested very regularly, normally every 2 weeks atleast. It must be a blood test as the pin prick tests proved unreliable in my case. I spend hours and hours waiting at St Barts for a blood test which is where I am

Boron, an interesting article about supplement for T3 increase
Found this article which I found interesting as a possible supplement to assist with T3 may consider after next blood test if no improvement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/?fbclid=IwAR3dMJ-9rLLZ47g1qBU4LbMViJROk8gIbRNhijGMMW3giwHjVbsY06Huppk

being redundant
I have an amazing ability to pick relevant podcasts while driving. Just had my blood work done in preparation of starting Pluvicto and not being able to choose wisely while driving I picked this podcast which i have heard before and have even advocated on this forum before. Dr Chetty is so brilliant

Dry scalp
I have recently noticed increasingly dry scalp. Can anyone recommend any shampoo/ conditioner to help? No expense (at this scale) spared. I have very fine hair, and dont want this to have further effects. I've looked at all the commercially available ones, dont have any way to judge which work and are

Busy, busy, busy!
Hello,, everyone! Just thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello!' as i've been really busy lately and not getting much chance to look in at the Forum. I sometimes get chance to read but not much time to respond - only to very few! I had COVID again a few weeks ago which has left me with an aversion to certain

The continuing saga of the purple toe
Surprise, surprise, after having a MRI scan of my legs, an echocardiogram, an ECG and a twenty four hour heart monitor, no trace of blockages except what the consultant called a 'pinch' in a leg artery, suspected of causing a blood clot and the purple toe. But, on my last appointment with the consultant

Beta Alanine, okay or not okay?
Many pre workout supplements include beta Alanine. I used it in my pre PCA days because I felt it did help with the workout intensity, particularly those exercises that are short...I.e. weight lifting. Anyway, I liked the additional energy release and the slight tingly feeling when using this supplement

GCA and hair loss
Have been on pred now since end of July 2023 - originally 60mg now tapered to 20mg. (stay on 20mg for 2 weeks). Feel fine on that dose. Will taper to 18 mg in a week Mon. and stay on it for 2 weeks, etc. then down by l0% every 2 weeks if all holds. I am losing my hair. Will taking folic acid help?

Lactose intolerant
I am changing from Armour Thyroid to synthetic T4 and T3, due to cost and that a local Endo has agreed to this on the NHS. However I’m super sensitive to lactose and the hospital pharmacy are dithering about finding lactose free options. Does anyone know which brands are lactose free please?

Inulin pre-biotic - bowels/stomach restoration aid
Hi All, It seems to me one of the most common hypo complaints revolves around a slighty lazy digestion and slower bowels than desirable with poor absorption of nutrition from the food and a life taken up with researching any buying a load of supplements to mitigate the shortfall. This has certainly
