Taking collagen
Is collagen worth taking? I have been diagnosed with osteopenia and am taking Risedronate. I am also taking Anastrozole after having a mastectomy . I take vitD and K , my diet is good and I walk every day. Just wondering if there’s anything else I can do to improve my bone health. Thanks.

Virtual Reality Therapy Anyone?
I’ve asked my providers (PCP, Neuro, pain) about virtual reality therapy for ms issues. They’ve never heard of it being used or prescribed. I’ve read about it online only. The benefits for cognitive, physical and speech therapy sound solid. There are specific programs to suit your needs. Mental too,

Value of LDH
I've been dealing with PCA 11 years and I've seen a number of doctors along the way but never have discussed or had my LDH tested. A young oncologist where I had my PSMA scan requested PSA, testosterone and LDH tests to go along with the scan. My LDH was at the low end of the "range" (but we still didn't

just diagnosed at stage 3b need to know how to live with this
Hello, I am 75 and was just diagnosed with CKD 3b. All of my functions were fine until 2 years ago when my PCP noticed a decrease in GFR and increase in creatinine. We both thought it was due to Aleve and one other med I was taking for pain. ( I had been in a car accident therefore the meds). I immediately

Former art teacher with a passion for travel
Former art teacher. I started traveling in my fifties and it became my passion (I’ve visited 41 countries so far!) until Covid and then my stage 4 diagnosis came. Diagnosed with IDC stage 3 in 2015. My great-grandmother had breast cancer in the 1920s, and an aunt had it when she was in her mid-eighties

Another trigger?
Twenty days on from my last PAF, thinking will probably clear another 40 days to the next as per usual pattern. Great day, trip to the seaside, lunch with old friends, home to relaxing small dinner, feet up. Had slight constipation last few days, thought I would give a try to a new version of Fybogel

APNEA v RLS - something else
I have recently been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea & have been given a CPAP machine to use but it seems the drugs I take for RLS (Oxycodone & Gabapentin) are conflicting with the efficacy of the CPAP kit and not bring down my incidence of AHI during the night. The consultant has asked me to row back

I took it for 21 days then 7 days of progestin, I just restarted progynova but this time the doctor said to take it for 8 weeks. Is it too much? Do you think that

Ampyra
I have been on Ampyra/Dalfampridine for about 4 years. I am thinking of stopping as it is expensive. What effect may it have on my MS? does anyone have any thoughts?

OA in hip and right shoulder
I've tried Voltaren, Duloxetine ( which did not stop the pain) Aleve, Tylenol, shot in the hip. I really don't want surgery, I'm 69. I even tried castor oil poultice.Id like just like to manage pain at night so I can sleep.... During the day when I'm up I can deal but nights are the worst.

Asking employer for accommodations - yes, no, maybe?
Quick background:BCRed about 2.5 years after adjuvant RT to prostatic bed after RARP. Started Firmagon in May 2022 after nothing seen on PSMA PET/CT with PSA at 0.4. Switched to Orgovyx in November since injection site reaction was compromising QoL. Just before BCR was detected, I started taking adderall

I saw a consultant in the UK a month or so ago and explained that my transition from Mirapexin to Pregabalin was not going well. At that time, I was taking 150mg Pregabalin and 4 x 0.088 Mirapexin and that at that level i was getting some relief but that any reduction from that in the Mirapexin left

CPAP Machines and Chest Infections
Recently, I had a flare up of Bronchiectasis. I was issued Doxy that has helped and I'm due for a CT Scan in a couple of weeks. I was pondering why it suddenly flared up and my wife suggested my CPAP machine. I thought I was pretty good at keeping the reservoir, hose and mask free from mould. However

Afib, sleep apnea and diverticulitis from aerophagia
Hi. I have afib and sleep apnea. As you know, some think that sleep apnea may be a causitive factor in afib. I have been using cpap and bipap machines for some years for the apnea, and have a problem of swallowing air (aerophagia). Before the improvements in cpap technology, I would wake up after a
