Advice wanted on supplements to take to try and manage osteoporosis the natural way
I have osteoporosis and don't want to take medication and want to go the natural route to stop bone loss/ possibly increase it slightly. I am trying to sort out what supplements to take, and am getting confused. A definite bit of advice coming through it to take organic calcium, eg Algecal. This

Autopsies tell us the secrets of Parkinson's...
The brains of Parkinson's patients tell us some of the secrets of the disease at autopsy... "For History must be our deliverer, not only from the undue influence of other times, but from the undue influence of our own, from the tyranny of environment and the pressure of the air we breathe". Acton.

Next step in getting answers?
Hi all, I've had problems with pelvic pain, horrendous cramping, painful sex etc for a year now, over the last 6 months I've had various tests. My ultrasounds suggested polycystic ovaries but my blood tests have come back as normal. I was prescribed mefenamic acid in Feb but it honestly doesn't do much

Can we prevent, slow or halt, improve symptoms and reduce the severity of Parkinson's?
"Some things from the past are gone but others open a gap to the future and they are the ones I want to rescue." Mario Benedetti Current Neurology, which has made undeniable advances against Parkinson's, tells us that the disease is degenerative and symptoms are getting worse over the years, despite

Alpha Lipoic Acid and anti-Coagulants
I am on Apixaban, Statins and blood pressure tablets. I suffer with thoracic back pain which when it flares is awful, a mixture of muscle and nerve pain. I am only able to take paracetamol which is useless in my case. I have also been advised by the G.P. and pharmacist that I should try Amitriptyline

Advice on Calcium Supplements Please
Two years ago I fell and fractured my wrist. A follow up dexa scan revealed osteoporosis. I was automatically prescribed Alendronic Acid which I fortunately refused as my astute GP noticed a high level of calcium on my bloods (it would have actually been damaging to my bones) and referred me to en endocrinologist

Not respiratory but may be of interest to a few. How to heal cracked heels.
Cracked heels, also known as fissures, can be a nuisance and even bleed sometimes, but can occasionally lead to more serious problems if left untreated. Treat them by giving your feet a little more attention, beginning with moisturizing them at least twice a day. Look for thick moisturizers (Eucerin

alendronic acid pmr-like side effects
Painful muscles and joints are listed as a common side effect of alendronate, but I haven't seen much discussion of it on this forum. I've been on prednisone for PMR since early May, 2020 and am down to 3mg. Declining bone density showed up on DEXA scan this winter and my rheumatologist recommended going

First gynea appointment and laparoscopy
First appointment went really well with my gynecologist, she did a quick internal exam to check tenderness. She said she will send me for further testing to see if anything has changed since my last scans. She will see me again in 3 months to discuss the scan results and make the decision to go ahead

Pain killers or not? Perplexed.
Hi, I have a dumb question. It's 3.5 weeks since my diagnostic laparoscopy, so I think the incision points are more or less healed. The consultant told me there was too much work to do in one day surgery session & needed an MRI and multi-discipline team to look at results. I was feeling virtuous, not

Levothyroxine - I take it as soon as I wake in the morning then wait an hour at least before eating or drinking tea. Iron - twice daily - I take it around midday
