High cholesterol or not?
Just had some results back and some readings are showing a red flag. I'm very active and have a healthy low-carb diet. Should I be worried and Contact my gp? This was a private test through benenden. Thanks.

Cholesterol and Statins
Just had results of Cholesterol test which is 6.2 (up from 4.8 three years ago and pre PMR). Started a low carb diet as soon as prescribed Prednisolone and it has certainly stopped me from gaining. Weight but has meant that I have had to add more fat to my diet for energy. I am guessing that this has

CKD at age 39
Hi everyone, so I’m a male at the age of 39, I have CKD. My GFR is 23.4, is there anything I can do to raise my GFR numbers, Lower my Creatinine level? I workout 6 days a week, I’m on a low sodium diet, and only consume around 60-90 grams of protein a day.

Carbs and inflammation
I had been weirdly regretful that I wasn't suffering from inflammation previously, so I wasn't able to rejoice in it going away with low carb. I have eaten very carby meals on about 4 occasions in the last 18 months, with no apparent side effects. Until last night, when I was sat in front of a plate

SOB but peak flow doesn't change and asthma tests don't show anything severe
Hi, I'm kind of desperate right now and thought that you guys might have some ideas regarding my problems. Roughly 3 Weeks ago I started having trouble of breath from time to time. In my case inhaling feels much worse than exhaling. Also my throat starts feeling harder when I have SOB. I don't have

Diet - my story so far!
When diagnosed with PMR...within 2 months I was diagnosed prediabetic. I was already overweight from steroids for lung issues a few years ago, and hadn't been able to shift the excess. I went onto the keto diet, while on 15mg steroids. I lost a stone in 7 weeks but as soon as I stopped it it went back

Pain in ribs on my back and peak flow is down
Since last night, I have had pain in my ribs on my back where my chest is and I've checked my peak flow tonight and it's down from 350 to around 230. My ribs are also sore on my front as well. I am unsure on whether this is my asthma trying to flare up or what. I can't talk to my doctor's as they don't

LDN: low dose naltrexone
I have Hashimoto according to my endocrinologist with slightly elevated antibodies (although GP is not convinced). I Have now TSH around 2 on 75mg levothyroxine. I am doing IVF and had multiple miscarriage which could have been related to TSH above 5 at the time (2 years ago, before starting levothyroxine

Low carb road in the hole (2)
Just tried subtle badger's idea for toad in the hole as Yorkshire puddings instead. Doubled the quantities and cooked in muffin tins. Made 6 (very) large ones. Surprisingly delicious and felt like a real treat for Sunday dinner. Give them a go!

Insulin and prednisolone problems
How do I manage my blood sugars on Prednisolone at 15 mg per day. I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin injections 4 times a day, plus Metformin 2 gms. My blood sugar levels are astronomical in spite of a low carb diet and exercise. Prior to my PMR diagnosis 7 months ago I was attending my gym 3 times per

Should I reduce or stop my running? - low peak flow and low oximetry readings recently & after running
I've recently been running more and more in preparation for a half marathon. However, my peak flow has dropped and I've been taking more ventolin and more becotide inhalors. I'm male 5'7'' 44yo and my good peak flow is about 450 but the best I've blown in the last year is about 430. Good for me is

Weird feeling in toes and wobbly walking
This last year of the pandemic I’ve not addressed some things I should have what with the many difficulties. Things have piled up and I’m trying to sort them out one a a time. One thing is this issue with my toes. When I flex them it feels sort of strange, like they are “crunching”. Seems

Help! Asthma getting out of control?!?!
Hi everyone! I have eosinophilic asthma and was discharged by my consultant last year and to go back to him if things get out of control again. Here’s my dilemma...’out of control’ to my consultant means a low peak flow and the need to use steroids. But I have been coughing for the last two months...

Going back to seretide?
I’ve just been asked in for my annual review and want to ask the nurse if I can go back to seretide. I came off it a few years ago when there was some research about increased risk of pneumonia as I have mild bronchiectasis. I’ve tried quite a few alternatives and have been on flutiform for a couple
