Low Carb really works for me
May 3 rd this year was my moment of truth when I knew I had to do something about two years of pred use weight gain. After two weeks of thinking I was low carb, the scale had not changed! Discouraged I sought the forum’s help and was alerted to the existence of carbs in many hidden places. It is true

Do breathing exercises help increase lung capacity?
Hi Everyone, I am sufferer of asthma, and it has been brought to my attention whether the effectiveness of specific breathing techniques could assist in increasing lung capacity. I have found that healthcare professionals and asthmatic sufferers have different opinions and scientific evidence from

Covid?
Hello everyone, About 5 weeks ago I came down with Covid. Seemed to get through it ok, but about a week after my asthma starting playing up. Symptoms are breathlessness mainly at night, mucus of chest that’s hard to cough up, tight chest which relieves when taken inhalers. Spo2 is around 97% slightly

Headache since starting Armour - should I stop taking it?
I have started taking 1 grain of Armour ndt after being on 100 mcg of Levothyroxine. Since starting 10 days ago I have had a headache every day. I have taken Armour before with no headaches that I can remember but changed to Naturethroid when Armour became too expensive. When that was found to be sub-potent

Low Dose Naltrexone?
Hi all-I am 3.5 years with PMR in the U.S., now at 7mg pred using Dead Slow Method on my way to 6.5. My legs are quite painful these days and Dr prescribed low dose Naltrexone. Does anyone have experience with it? Presumably it helps with pain, inflammation and helps reduce need for pred. The med

Heart friendly multivitamins
Hi all, so I’d normally take a daily multivitamin. Hadn’t given any thought into whether I should or not since the Angiogram and stent. Transpires as I’m on antiplatelet medication, I shouldn’t be taking Iron or Vitamin K (contraindications). This advice came from a Pharmacist. Instead I’ve bought these

Good news - I am done with PMR!
I want to share some good news... finally my PMR has left me after more than 6 years (December 2016 it began). I had been tapering for the last 6 months but never managed to get below 1mg and still had flares needing to take up to 5mg. I had been very stressed being in an unhappy and emotionally abusive

Full Cream Milk
Oh I love it! I have decided and ordered a tin of it to add to my low fat diet in which I have recently lost 2 lbs. My decision is not based on emotions. In fact one of our Holy Imams (a.s) advised a man to drink 'milk' for weakness which I am experiencing while dieting and exercising and once in a week

My diet is pretty good low carb generally not much bread or root veg, and no cakes or sweet stuff, alcohol-14 -16 units a week. So what next I ask? You can consider the above a bit rhetorical

Has anyone cracked the code? How to loose weight??
Still trying to get things under control.. But how DO we loose weight as Hypothyroid? - Should we stay away from certain types of exercise? (Cardio, weights, HIIT, walking, etc?) - Many said Keto may not be great… is low carb ok? On Keto I would stay within 30-40g of carbs a day which is more low carb

Gastritis and Iron tablets
Following a recent blood test where the following levels were reported-iron 10 umol; ferritin 18ugl; tsr 15.3%; my GP wasn’t keen on giving me iron tablets said they could be “nasty” but didn’t explain the impact they could have on my atrophic gastritis !I am struggling to keep pain free from the latter

Low carb, high fat diet
When I was first diagnosed I decided I wanted to watch my weight. I had put on weight over the years and was 12 stone. I had read about reducing carbohydrates. A few months after my PMR diagnosis I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I read all I could and changed my diet to a low carb, high fat diet

Happy Friday the 13th and in chemo bay #13 now 😁
Hey y'all, Another Cabazitazel session, getting 12 total to put me at 33 chemos in 7 years this July PSA ticked up 0.1 to 2.5 last time 🤔 MO may do PSMA scan and biopsy any large enough lymph nodes, if PSA continues upward. Still on Lupron 3 every months, and doing Intermittent Fast for 16 hrs/day
