peak flow
Anyone noticed sometimes they are tight chested, peak flow still classed as 'green' and salbutamol helps, but sometimes doesn't last the 4 hrs? I've been advised that as my peak flow hasn't dropped more than 20% I shouldn't be using my inhaler as its likely not asthma causing the band around my lungs

Ramadan
I was in contact with my nephew the other day and he mentioned he'd been on a 16 hour dry fast. I was puzzled, especially the 'dry' bit until the penny dropped. He's a practising Muslim. The rules are, nothing to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset - for 30 days. You can eat a little just before the

Don’t know what to do anymore 😢
Hello all, I will try to keep my post short(ish) but basically, I used to work away from home and progressively, certain aspects of my health deteriorated in the final year. Eyesight went extremely bad, weight gain, allergies and ENT issues but the worst was a cough and coughing fits and chest tightness

Lifelong asthmatic
Hi, I'm a lifelong asthmatic and until fairly recently didn't realise that my asthma is severe. It also seems that I probably have bronchiectasis - diagnosis incomplete due to the advent of coronavirus. What I don't understand is why some medical people are not concerned about when my peak flow drops

Loving the scale today.
I have lost 5 lbs since I got back on LCHF. I am so pleased. Diet doctor has been helpful along with the books my mom loaned me. Now to try and get my hubby onboard with the lifestyle change. 😏

Interesting Review on Vit K from consumerlab
What do you think? Apparently one need very high doses of Vit K for bone health https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/vitamin_K_supplements_review/Vitamin_K/?

High Calcium Level (11.4) in Blood

Peak flow questions
Hi all, just wondering how others are measuring their peak flow/getting on with this... - Do you use the standard peak flow meter (as pictured) or an electronic version? - And which chart do you tend to use to track your target peak flow against your age & height (if this is something you do)? I know

At home with INR of 16.8
And the saga goes on... Today out patients finger prick reading 8+ (X 4) Vein reading - unobtainable (X2) They resorted to the old fashioned method using a bath ? Actual reading came back as 16.8 Was given 2ml of vit K and sent home. Vein sample to be taken tomorrow. Anyone else had readings that high

I’m a idiot!!!!
Morning Well it official, I’m an idiot and decided to sabotage my LCHF eating plan. It started with a few bottles of cherry Pepsi max (I stopped drinking this maybe 8 months ago) then washed down with bags of crisps, and this is a nightly occurrence, (only at night) in fact this has been going on for

Vitamin D / K advice would be appreciated
I'm posting on behalf of my 89-year-old Dad, who is seeing an enlightened endo. Even though his Vitamin D levels are within range, they are at the lower end: 60 (50 - 125) and the endo would like him to supplement with 1,000iu. The surgery is yet to receive the letter from the endo and therefore to implement

Thanks Mom
My mom had several low carb books she has graciously loaned me. She has been very supportive of my weightloss efforts. I’m so excited to continue this journey.

This seems too much of a coincidence but I had just posted what you read below to a friend of mine (who has doctors and surgeons in his family - all obese). When I went to check my inbox. It was in response to a video he sent me, link below. This was my response: Essentially this has been my take James

Took it
slow
and was okay for the first
k
then started to feel a bit nauseous! This just got worse so cut run down to 5k. Hopefully it was just having the banana mixed with the ibuprofen!

Low Peak flow
Hi Everyone - hope you are all keeping well. I’m not wanting to bother my gp or asthma nurse... I have everything I need to control my asthma here... my peak flow has been low the last 3 mornings - it picks up with inhalers and I am not unwell, just tired and out of breath. I have home nebuliser (which
