Warfarin - Arterial Calcification
I keep hearing that there is a risk of arterial calcification in the arteries when on Warfarin> Something about the relationship between Vitamin D, Vitamin K and the way Calcium should travel to the bones rather than remain in the blood stream. Now I have been advised to take vitamin D as I seem

Blood test results and feeling "off"
I did my quarterly thyroid test last week, having brought it forward a bit due to feeling "off" - feeling very tired and lethargic, no libido, muscle weakness...this is despite stable thyroid levels that most would say look very good. Also had a lot of back and neck pain, which has been treated by an

avocado - anyone else ?
Hi and happy summer solstice, I’ve recently been trying to improve my diet and read that avocado has many good features, such as high fiber, good fat, vitamin c, b vitamins, folate, vitamin k, and something about it helps the body produce glutathione (an antioxidant which helps protect the liver.)

Cheese
New umbrella study of cheese & health outcomes [1]. The authors are Chinese – with the exception of Edward Giovannucci. A PubMed search for returned 20 papers where Giovannucci was leader (9), primary author (4) or co-author (7). So it’s not surprising to see his name on this Chinese study. His

Been put on trimbow
Following up to my previous post about well-controlled (or not) asthma, I filled in an online consultation form. Had a phone call from the surgery pharmacy team who suggested I try trimbow. I did explain my concerns about the anticholinergic bit as I had a rough time trying Spiriva in November and

Had my appointment
Thank you for everyone's advice a few weeks ago. I had my long awaited appointment today. I shared my symptoms, along with frequencies etc. I explained my usual stress response which is very different to the symptoms I'm getting. The Dr listened to my chest, said there wasn't a wheeze but it sounded

Defining well controlled asthma
Hi all. I’ve looked around online as to what well controlled asthma is because that’s what we’re supposed to be aiming for, right? Here’s the gist of what I’ve found:- • Few to no symptoms day or night • Perform daily activities without symptoms • Sleeping well • Normal (for you

Causes Of Breathlessness
My asthma used to be simple. Periodic periods of tight chest and breathlessness. Then it worsened and they diagnosed asthma, many hospital visits later and i got up to severe asthma with poor control. Then I realised that my breathlessness was not simply asthma. There were very sharp attacks that

Peak flow app with reminders
Can anyone recommend a peak flow recording app for iPhone that notifies you when it’s time to take a measurement? I’ve been using asthma md but it doesn’t have this feature and I keep forgetting to take my peak flow. Thanks in advance.

getting better but anxiety over future
Hi, I was diagnosed with asthma last September after being in hospital for ten days with a bad exacerbation. All out of the blue. I was on oxygen for most of it and coughing up thick green stuff after a chest infection. Could hardly breathe and almost in ICU. After recovering from that I picked up more

Progress at last
Haven’t posted for a long time. Some of you may know that after reaching my goal of a 10k continuous run I contracted COVID in September 2022. Diagnosed with Long Covid in December 2022, really struggled to even walk 400 yards but saw an improvement last Summer and got to Week 7 all be it very slowly

How long can Asthma flares last?
Hi I’m in to my 5th week now with a tight chest and struggling to breathe. A&E couldn’t find anything untoward and GP could only offer stronger antihistamines and Montelukast which I have reluctantly started a few days ago. The worrying thing is that my peak flow isn’t too bad but I still have the tightness
