High-Dose Vitamin D Linked to Lower Disease Activity in CIS
High-dose oral cholecalciferol (vitamin D3) supplementation significantly reduces evidence of disease activity in patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), results of a randomized, controlled trial suggest. In addition, cholecalciferol had a favorable safety profile and was well tolerated.

Low bp causing tiredness?
it’s just over a year since my cardiac arrest and I just had a review at my surgery. I was keen to try lowering my atorvastatin dose due to aches and pains and fatigue (and had also been warned I was sat risk of diabetes). They agreed to try lowering my dose from 80 to 40 mg and also arranged blood tests

My Osteoprosis Diagnosis!
Hi All, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis earlier this year - early July. I had an DEXA Scan in late June! My osteoporosis is due to my age as I'm now menopausal - haven't had a period in last few years. I also have epilepsy & many epilepsy medications can affect how the body absorbs vitamin D as it

Positive Update
I previously asked on this forum for advice for my husband in relation to a rls specialist in Ireland. This led to loads of great advice and knowledge in relation to the management of his severe rls as per Mayo Clinic Algorithm. He started taking magnesium glycinate 400 mg, Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3

Supplement absorption
I posted the other day about being newly diagnosed and I received loads of brilliant support and advice from people on here about supplements and lifestyle changes that can help with PD progression. I haven’t yet managed to do all the recommended reading but I’m working on it. I’m still looking into

Atorvastatin 20mg with PMR
Hi Guys, I have been taking this statin for almost 4 weeks and just wondered if anyone else who has PMR takes this. At first when taking I felt a bit queasy, so started to take it after evening dinner on its own. This did help but I have developed other side affects - I feel extremely tired all day

Heart rate, swollen tongue, can’t sleep. Hypo with Levo.
Please can someone advise me? I’ve been here before and I’m scared to go back to my doctor because I’m reliving the same rodeo I took back in 2019 when my private endo told me to stop taking Levo. I now cannot go private through my healthcare as all they will pay for is to completely remove my thyroid

Crash after Covid?
I’m really struggling to balance my body back out after having Covid and so so puzzled. Not sure why this has happened or where to go with it next. Has anyone had a really bad crash after Covid?
