Why take Vitamin K?
Hello all. Can anyone explain to me the reason for taking Vitamin K? I see it mentioned frequently on this and other forums but have never been advised to use it. I asked my GP yesterday and she had never heard of it in relation to GCA/PMR, and promised to look it up. She also suggested vit C to help

Hi all, Hope everyone is keeping well in the current climate. It’s 5.40am I’ve been up since 4am - good old predsomnia and being mid flare! Anyone here having Benralizumab injections for eosinophilic asthma and have still had flare ups? I had my first injection 3 weeks ago and was under the impression

Wheezing with peak flow meter
Hi. I noticed that when I use my peak flow meter, a high pitched sound comes out when I’m blowing into it. I don’t ever wheeze, but this is the one time when it sounds like I’m wheezing. Anyone know why I’d only hear it when I’m measuring my peak flow?

Does eating foods that have good amounts of oleic acid lower the molarity of VLCFAS in our blood and our body?
I eat avocados almost every day and We know that avocados have good amounts of oleic acid. I also eat a low-fat diet. I found this online and tell me what you think?: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ana.410210304 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3951702

MSN on Supplements
I don't particularly like MSN but it comes on my feed, and there are some interesting articles. Copied and edited some points on this one (you can read it all if you want of course). Most of us will probably know and agree with much or all of it. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/health/familyhealth/19-warning-signs-your-vitamins-arent-going-to-work

Clenil side effects?
Hi all - first post. I have mild asthma, which is normally asymptomatic, and only appears sometimes after a bad cold, which goes on to affect my chest. I have an asthma review annually and the asthma nurse knows and approves of the fact that I do not normally use a preventer, unless I start with a cold

Can type 2 diabetes be reversed?
I’m a 64 yo man who is at least 60 pounds overweight. I’m planning to walk on treadmill daily and get more sunlight. I have AFib as well as type 2 diabetes which complicates things. I’m on low carb diet. Looking for other recommendations for losing weight. I have resistance bands but have not used them
