Slowly but surely.
Was just getting used to impared breathing due to the hot weather. When my on the phone review came up. So now, just finished four days steroids. 6 tablets every morning. Didn't have any real effect for two days and then felt a lot better but now struggling again. I suppose it's all those chores I had

Cholesterol problems - high protein, good fat diet recommendations
Hi there, long-term lurker here. I am based in Switzerland although British by birth. I've recently been following a high protein diet plan which recommends lots of cheeses (hard and soft) and dairy products. The breakfasts consist of various combinations of high fat yoghurts, magerquark, Philadelphia

What is your take on Soybean? š§š¤
Edamame has always been my favorite snack since I was little. I usually steam and sprinkle a little bit of sea salt. You may find edamame prepared the same way as appetizer when you go to a sushi restaurant. I found many health benefits from edamame but one thing Iām concerned is phytoestrogen or isoflavones

It's all good now!
Pmr hit just about three years ago. I am now reporting one month at zero pred, down from thirty originally. Fingers crossed that that is the end of it. If not then pred is my friend. If I had the opportunity to live my life over and not get Pmr I don't think I would take it. It has taught me a lot of

Low Carb Diet makes a difference?
Does a low carb diet really help? After 5 years of PMR, down to 8 mg daily pred and overweight, I'm ready to try cutting carbs. What has been anybody's diet experience with meat, beans and green veggies with no potatoes, rice, pasta or sweets?

Keto / Low Carb and Cognitive Functioning
I was reading a story about a woman who improved her memory by following a low carb diet. The research on this subject seems mixed. When I eat very low carb (as opposed to moderately low carb) I swear I have easier access to my subconscious. I also have a lot more memories from many many years ago pop

CEV Criteria
Hello I know shielding is not really a thing at the moment but I was wondering if anyone knows what the criteria is to be considered CEV (Clinically Extremely Vulnerable) because of asthma? My asthma has deteriorated quite significantly over the last few months. I've not had to be hospitalised because

LC Cooking and baking
The last few weeks I have been venturing into the world of keto baking, inspired by several other HU users. This is my successful courgette bread. I made some very nice sandwiches with it last weekend. It has 1g carb per slice and it was a very simple recipe. Next to it is my unsuccessful "cloud" bread

Another Question
I have been wandering around the internet most of the week after receiving the suggestion I may have auto immune hepatitis. I am a little bit lost because I come from having another illness (pancreatitis) and was wondering if you have many people on this site who have found you in a similar way? You
