Calcichew 500mg tablets are different sizes in container...
I have hypoparathyroidism. I've been taking Calcichew 500mg tablets for years. Recently, I discovered my new (latest) container of Calcichew tablets were different sizes. Larger ones (those I'm used to) mixed with smaller tablets. Should I be worried? Family members (on my behalf) went to talk to

Long Term Treatment
Believe it, or not, and it does amaze me.....It's been Twenty Years, since I Collapsed with Vasculitis. I was given or, more correctly, my Mother was told that I had 'Less Than An Hour' to live. I AM aware that it is only due to the skills/care of Surgeons/Doctors, along with my Mother's ceaseless love

A great success by approaching things from the other direction!
I will keep this short, so if any one wants to ask me more about this they can do so. I posted some time ago about approaching RLS from the viewpoint of fixing my sleep problems first, not the RLS. And that is what I have been doing. After more than 6 years of having great difficulty sleeping, with

Blood test says reverse T3 is gone, but I still feel hypothyroid???
Hi everyone, I have been on an awful journey with Reverse T3 for the past few months. I finally found a doctor who switched me to Cytomel 3 weeks ago, and my Reverse T3 blood test just came back super low. This would seem to be a good sign, except my hypothyroid symptoms are not better! I have read a

2nd kidney
Hello all, I'm new to this app and wanted to see what it's all about.. I'm about to receive my second kidney transplant, in which the first one lasted me 15 years. Don't really have a lot of energy but trying to think of things I could do while at home since I'm not working and on disability. Any ideas

Blue badge scheme
A quick question, I was diagnosed with AF and heart failure 7 years ago and as time has gone by my mobility has decreased due to breathlessness after mild exertion. My family advise me to apply for a blue badge due to the condition. Has anyone else gone down this route and been successful?

SCT and Kidney disease???
He went into
renal
failure
with 25% kidney function. This was very shocking and unsettling for me. He was eventually diagnosed with Minimal Change Disease...Nephrotic Syndrome. I asked doctors then could this be coming from the Sickle Cell Trait and was told over and over and over "NO".

A little knowledge
I've been mentioning to my cardiologist for ages that my digestive system seems to be linked to my af/heart failure as I get periods, two or three times a week, when I feel dreadful, but an hour later, having been to the loo, I'm fine again, so it's almost as if there's an obstruction or large blood

Vitamin levels in renal failure.
My area health group kidney doctors have started to write to GPs asking them to prescribe renavit, a multivitamin pill as HD removes water soluble vitamins from the blood. Because it contains folic acid that is discontinued if you are on it, as I was. It has been approved by NICE so should be country

Cough

The doctor said his chest was clear but the caught is wearing him out. Does anyone else have this? He's not on ace inhibitors as he's
