Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN)
Has anyone tried LDN? I have Hypothyroidism (Hashimotos), Fibromyalgia, Brain Fog, occasional insomnia. I take Levothyroxine (100mg) for Thyroid but don't take any medication for Fibromyalgia. I don't intend to substitute Levothyroxine but would like to know if LDN has helped anyone? Thank you

If my peak flow has always been low what will spirometry reveal?
I have been referred for spirometry testing due to some symptoms which the cause is unclear (sinus polyp issues/acid reflux/chest tightening) However my peak flow has always been low. Even though I am only 5ft 1 for many years whenever I have had my peak flow tested in college lessons etc it has never

Sudden onset poorly controlled asthma
Hi, Sorry it’s a bit of a long story but I am feeling rather lost with what has happened. I was absolutely fine until November maybe odd tight chest and shortness of breath but this could have been anxiety. I am now on GINA step 4 and still poorly controlled. I am waiting to see the specialist, the

Oximeter
I have been a bit hors de combat recently, so bought myself a little oximeter, 16 pounds from amazon. I have always found the variation in my peak flows irritating, also I do not like using the peak flow when badly out of breath. So I wondered how for me personally an oximeter worked as a measure of

Covid and Asthma
I am on day 7 of covid. It lowers my peak flow by 30 percent or so and makes me routinely breathless. The thing that gets me is that any asthma triggers then take my breathing very quickly into dangerous territory. So I am a bit confined to no activity, very irritating.

A catch up and regroup.
Hello lovely people, I was just recounting and filling in the time I've been away from this site - the absence due to my grandmothers passing - and it was becoming a bit of a novel, recounting the day to day details of the hospital etc so have decided to not post it as it may be triggering for others

Dust as an asthma trigger.

Wait a couple of days
As I tapered, old "pre-PMR" pains were uncovered. I took an occasional Tylenol for those. Eventually I was able to taper to zero Pred. with the help of Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN), which must come from a compounding pharmacy. Not many doctors are familiar with this treatment--yet. All I can say is that

VLDL results - confusing
For the last five years or so, I’ve had slightly high cholesterol , e.g. 5.7 mmol/l total, 3.4 LDL but good 1.9 HDL, 0.9 triglycerides and total/HDL ratio of 3. I get tested once a year or so. I’m not overweight and am active, etc., but I do want to bring that LDL down and made a few changes such as

Advice needed ref statins
Hello all I have had PMR since May 2020, initially on 15mg pred and tapered down to 4mg by April 2022. Then got Covid and everything went a bit scatty. Returned to 10mg and have been tapering, currently on 7mg moving towards 6.5mg. In the meantime my blood pressure has risen and recent blood tests

Gallstones Newbie here seeking menu ideas 😁
My GP diagnosed gallstones 4 weeks ago after I suffered an attack and referred me for a scan at my local hospital for confirmation. She told me to go to A&E if the attacks get unbearable. I am yet to heard from the hospital with a date for the scan. I'm getting 3 or 4 attacks a week. Shoulder blade

Glutathione Therapy and LDN
Just read the chapter in the LDN book about treatments for Parkinson's. Low dose naltrexone and glutathione therapy. Anyone have any experience with these? I've found several functional medicine places in the San Diego area and plan to call on Monday. We are not happy with the treatment my husband

Bubbles in urine
Hello, Had a quick question about bubbles in urine. Some days my urine is totally clear. Perfect color no bubbles at all. Other days, usually the first/second time I go in the morning it has some bubbles in it. Can what you eat effect that? I eat a low protein diet, no red meat or poultry. Only

Raised Creatinine in urine
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with PMR in January and am now down to 4.5mg prednisolone. Having piled on the pounds at first I have been on a low carb diet since March. I do eat quite a bit of meat and a recent urine dip stick test showed raised creatinine. Could this be caused by high protein/low carb

Standard Peak Flow rate and Clenil dose
How relevant is the flow rate to Clenil dosage? I seem to have the same Standard Peak Flow result (420-450) when taking Clenil 200 x2 twice daily as I did taking Clenil 100x2 twice daily. I worry that my dosage is higher than required- any thoughts please?

Peak flow higher in the evening
Hello 👋 My GP has requested we keep a peak flow diary for my 8 year old son as she is quering he has asthma. We are on day 4 now and I've noticed his readings are always lower in the evening. Everything online says they are normally lower in the morning. Has anyone else had this? His morning readings
