Does anyone use a peak flow meter
I’m completely baffled. I had an Echocardiogram 2 weeks ago. Had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair 18 months ago. Last September getting more & more breathless and dizzy. Appointment with cardiologist cancelled in January. Collapsed in March. Hospital for 3 days - discharged with Heart Failure

Hashimoto's and LDN
Hi, I have read that Low Dose Naltrexone is a good treatment for LDN, but that it is controversial and it is difficult to get a prescription in the UK. Does anyone have nay experience of getting this drug, are GPs hostile, or open to try it ? Thanks John

I suffered years with health anxiety, towards the end of 2020 I couldn’t stop running to the loo, spoke with my GP who organised a FIT test and full blood count, everything came back normal. Been trying to keep it under control with Imodium but last week it was just getting worse, spoke to my GP again

hello, any advice would be nice.
well i have lupus. i've been tested on and off ... i get tested couple of days ago and my urine test for protein says i have 0.3g/L . so it's flagged as HI because it's not <0.3. my eGFR was 91 or 96 and now 79. i was taking extra whey protein so i've cut down on that. and cutting down on sodium

Iron tablets and messed up system!
Hi everyone. I have had stomach/digestive issues all my life and was finally diagnosed with IBS some 7 years ago. I’ve had numerous stool tests, scans and an endoscopy over the years but had kind of managed to find medication that would ease stomach cramps and bloating etc. I always used to veer towards

A bit of (topical) fun, What’s your favourite LCHF menu…..
So you can have a starter, main course and a pudding (if you eat pudding… or another savoury course if you don’t - but something you think would lend itself to eating after dinner). What are your favourite dishes, be specific, so don’t say cheese board, list the varieties of cheese please and say what

An ironic observation by the first synthesiser of thyroxine
Have been looking through some very old papers about thyroid and found one co-authored by Charles Harington, who was very much to the fore in efficient isolation of thyroxine from animal thyroid, and co-inventor of a method of synthesising thyroxine. The irony from today's perspective lies in this paragraph

Recommended diets for IBS-D?
I am new here and have found the posts very helpful. Does anyone else feel the same about the recommended diets? I have had IBS, mostly D, for 16 years. The low Fodmap foods make me want to laugh! I wish I could eat them. I preferred a vegetarian diet before IBS; now I can rarely eat any vegetables

Nighttime asthma
Hi, only recently diagnosed after 5 years of on off symptoms where my GP said was anxiety. Got fed up and paid for private assessment. Had dye injected CT, full lung function tests and examined by specialist. Had lung function tests about 8 weeks after starting beclamecasone. Exceeded average on it

Please help me understand my results - will this TSH level affect my fertility?
Hello all. I have been on Thyreogland - an NDT comprised of 100mcg t4 and 25mcg t3, for the last 2 years. Recently, the dosage I normally take was not in stock! So I have been taking 125mcg t4 and respectively more t3 (I don't know the exact amount), I realise this was a bit stupid given that I felt

Low carb...
Should have said that Low carb for me was around 50-60gs per day.

No luck....
4 weeks ago I was a 49 year old vegan weighing 12 st 12lbs. Then I went LCHF and now I’m a 49 year old vegetarian weighing in 12st 12lbs. The only change is that I am now constipated and I really hate the look of eggs! Did something wrong here I think🥺

BP is well down, but an increase in sodium drives it right back up. What to do?
Hello. Through weight loss/exercise/no caffeine/low sodium/medication (Lisinopril-HCTZ 20-25mg), my blood pressure has dropped from about 190/110 to about 100/65. Cutting back on my sodium intake has made a profound difference. I am a 55 year old male, I exercise daily and I hydrate well. Last weekend

Low Carb or Calories
I would like to ask a question in the hope that someone has a scientific answer. The questIon is not about giving up processed food and sugar, which regardless of which diet you follow, is damaging to our health. I’ve lost 17lbs on a mixture of low carb, fasting and calorie counting and for me I think

If it is not asthma, could there be something wrong with my lungs? 🤔🤔
Hi. What is your opinion on this? Do you think I have Asthma or something else (perhaps a lung problem)? 🙂 I'm 19 years old and have been significantly out of breath always, from the age of 6/7. It was not until I was about 15, that I was officially diagnosed with asthma by the gp after I had an asthma
