Mother-in-law with EDS has very low Potassium readings
We thought Mum had dementia and the EDS (diagnosed) means she lives with pain and is unsteady. It just transpired that she has had a long term kidney infection and really low Potassium and has been hospitalised and put on a drip for this twice this week, its possible that this and not just the EDS has

The amazing Kidney
I’m a senior citizen with stage 3B chronic kidney disease. My kidneys were damaged when I was eight years old. Unlike most with CKD, I am not diabetic. It seems that a plant based low protein diet is the only known way to maintain what’s left of my kidney function so I’m always looking for diet information

Inspiration
This is a photo of me after 9 months on ADT, age 70. I’ve always tried to stay in good shape. Jack LaLane inspired me as a kid in the early 1960’s. Later inspired by Larry Scott, Arnold, Lou and others. I built muscle naturally, no steroids. As my testosterone naturally decreased in my late 50’

Not as bad as I thought
Overall, it seems I’m not that great at judging pace but I do manage to speed up/
slow
down when required so the relative times of each
k
are correct even if the actual time is out.

Asthma and heat, plus Stu's padding

Less distance this time, but heat affecting asthma, peak flow rate down from about 700 on a good day to just about 500 today, so with breathing capacity reduced, I don't mind running a bit slower and less distance, at least I made the

Fatty Liver disease and Triglyceride levels
Is it common place for people with fatty liver disease to have elevated triglyceride levels? Would you expect triglyceride levels to correlate with a fibroscan CAP score? There's also a particular type of cholesterol associated with the liver called VLDL: Is this a test that an NHS GP can do or is

A new randomised study comparing diets

Thinking of our conversation on pred level and how to handle stressful moments to keep adrenal drama at bay....
So things for me and PMR and pred have not gone the way a lot of folks have. I read about when you take the pred in the beginning most have amazing relief then begin the journey of slowly reducing to find the next good dose. Then reading the symptom tea leaves of symptoms to make decisions on the next
