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

Anyone Know About Silent Reflux
Following on from my experience of asthma flare up I'm wondering if like Cade in his post about breathing problems whilst exercising, if I could have silent reflux. It was shortness of breath that led me to seek medical treatment, and even though I had no wheezing or cough the hospital concluded it was

New here
I lost 35lbs in 2023-2024 but have been plateauing for a while. I started the diet due to high blood pressure and I've seen my blood pressure reduce from 140/90 to 120/80. I am now on a low carb diet recommended by my GP and am enjoying the recipes available. I have cut out all starchy foods: bread

Dinner: Gluten Free Panini: 7-20-24
Tonight, we had a panini with apples, two flavors of hummus, avocado, feta cheese, tuna and a low carb.- high protein strawberry cheesecake Greek yogurt. Everything was really delicious and the first time to do homemade paninis. The meal was 62 total carbs..

LCHF and plum tomatoes?
Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question but been doing google searches and finding all kinds of answers on tomatoes and not sure what to make of it. I absolutely love plum tomatoes in particular, I have a tin of organic ones and these are the nutrition numbers per 100g: Energy 85kj/20kcal Carbohydrate

leg weakness after attack
Hi, I am a newbie, but had asthma for years and it is getting gradually worse. I have had maybe 3 severe attacks and the most recent has had me off work for nearly 2 weeks now. In the past I have carried on going in (to my detriment) you know that work ethic malarkey. This time I took the time

Should I go back on 1 or 2 mg prednisone due to fatigue?
Hello friends! After a four year term of GCA, while doing a very slow taper of prednisone l have been off of prednisone for several months. Occasionally if I’m very fatigued I take a 1 mg. I have been very fatigued for the last few days and I’m wondering if I should maybe go back on a daily 1 mg

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.)
