aches and pains when I exercise.
In the last year I have noticed I hurt and get stabbing pains in my ankle and lower back and hip after any form of exercise. Makes it difficult to keep in shape. I had horrible body aches all the time until I found out I was vitamin D deficient and have been on a prescription of 50,000 units for 6

A big thank you!
I just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ to all who commented on my last post. I was blown away by all the help and support. I went back to the doctor and asked for my vitamin D to be checked… she was reluctant, but lo and behold, it turns out my levels are extremely low. I finally feel like I might have

Help boosting thyroid without medication?
Hello all I have posted before as my thyroid function is poor but always comes back in range (my TSH never rises even with low levels) so no chance of medication on the NHS (other than statins for high cholesterol which I refuse). I did some recent tests TSH 1.95 (0.27-4.2) T4 14.6 (12-22) T3

asthmatic response to new rug made in India
I bought a new, woollen rug shortly before Christmas 2023. It immediately caused me to go from being virtually free of asthma symptoms to being in need of steroid inhaler and frequent ventolin doses - I was very short of breath, my lungs were irritated and when exercising, swimming or walking, I’d

ADT duration for high risk with Cribriform
Hi all, Age 72. In good health. I'd like to get some advice on my case. Should I stop ADT after 12 months? https://bmcurol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12894-022-01145-x I just consulted with my RO. I’ve done 11 of 18 months on Eligard. He wants me to stay the course. He spoke about the possibility

Alendronic Acid
I’ve been diagnosed with Osteopenia. About 7 months ago I was given vitamin d and calcium tablets which I am fine with. I was also given Alendronic acid which makes me feel very lethargic for a couple of days after taking. Has anyone else experienced this. I’m virtually at the point of deciding not to

Hello again, I have some updated bloods and as predicted by the group, it appears my thyroid levels have dropped to an underactive level.

just below normal Vit D symptoms
My husband has been suffering fatigue, low mood, and poor sleep over the last few months. Quite comprehensive blood tests only showed that his D3 level is just insufficient at 49, when acceptable levels should be 50+. Is it possible that his symptoms could be down to his D level? GP recommended he supplements

Good news - alendronic acid
Hi, I thought I would share some good news. Three years ago I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and started on alendronic acid with dome reluctance. After a rough first couple of weeks I got used to the medication. I modified my diet a bit, stsrting tsking Vit D and calcium, increased my BMI from 18.2

Change of rheumatology consultant! 😬
Hi guys, so I was diagnosed with Scleroderma two years ago and have regular yearly bloods. The consultant deems them stable and doesn't consider the results worthy of meds or treatment. I've got a lot of symptoms that he doesn't seem to think are related to the disease. Dyspepsia, muscle aches, vit d
