Hi all, I was chatting on here a few days ago worried about blood results and my GP saying I had CKD and had had this for quite a while. I had no idea. Now, this is what I don’t get, two weeks ago I had my kidney bloods done and the results were worrying apparently? The blood test was repeated yesterday

Low Sodium Level
Hello Seeing low sodium levels in blood work, and they believe it is because of the cancer cells. I do take salt tablets and increase salt in food and drink. What's the best way to prove methods of increasing sodium levels? Update : I started Tolvaptan and sodium going up, Dr confirmed

Stage 4 - Soup?
Do any of you in Stage 4 eat Chicken Noodle Soup, etc.? I also have very low BP and have to take Midodrine daily to keep a normal BP. So, the salt in the soup would be helpful. Is the sodium content the only reason they say we shouldn't have too much soup? If BP is low, is it okay to eat? Thanks

PLMD and withdrawal
Three weeks ago I stopped (after tapering slowly) gabapentin. I have also been reducing morphine sulphate from 8mg by .01mL every 5 days for the last three weeks. PLMD off the charts. I take 2mg lunesta every 3 nights -- and not more -- in the hopes of not getting addicted. Those nights are better

Stem Cell transplant register search goes on…
Unfortunately my next appointment with Consultant has been delayed until early April as they are no further advanced in their search for matches on transplant register. The Nuclear medicine tests that I have just had will be added to MyChart which Addenbrookes uses to show appointments, test results

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

Feel like I'm going mad
At the end of January I ended up in hospital with low sodium levels and very dehydrated and then suffered 2 fits which resulted in a fractured spine. I was tested for thyroid disfunction and indicated hyperthyroidism though my aunt and grandmother had low.My hospital ultrasound was said by radiographer

Sodium cromoglycate inhaler (Intal)
Can anyone share their experience getting Intal inhaler since it has been delisted in the UK? Or, do you now take it via a nebulizer instead? If yes, can you share the name of the nebulizer device and the manufacturer of the cromolyn/chromoglycate solution? Pubmed indicates it's less effective than

Treating constipation hasn't affected the wetting accidents
My son is 8 and has never been dry, day or night. I began toilet training him after his third birthday and I thought at first that I must have done it wrong as he could never keep dry. He would have the occasional poo accident too, but his real problem was wees. I took him to GPs and HVs and was either

Advice needed please about liquid Levothyroxine side effects
Hello, I wrote a post about a month ago saying my adult son was unable to get liquid levothyroxine as it was out of stock. He was taking the brill Pharma brand and tolerated it really well. The chemist managed to source Teva liquid levothyroxine three weeks after we asked for a repeat prescription

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually
