Blood Test Results, Help please... Second Cortisol test still showing as borderline Cushing's .
Apologies, I posted earlier, to the wrong forum... I'm just not with it. Sorry 😞 It's been a long, long time since I posted.Much as happened; too much. After years of asking about a Cortisol test and being constantly denied by the male GPs who said it was only the remit of a consultant to authorise

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Gaviscon dilemma
Earlier this week I had a call from the pharmacist at my GP practice. He was calling to review my meds which seems to be the latest practise at my docs. I told him I had stopped Omeprazole and was just using Gaviscon at night to control acid reflux as it wasn't too bad at the moment and that I thought

Trying to understand appetite / cravings
I have an advanced background in human nutrition but am totally new to thyroid issues and am trying to understand something. I've noticed since I've been treated (T4 and T3 split tid) that at times I am hungrier than usual. I understand the increased metabolism from thyroid correction, but is there anything

Coolness in feet, legs and one side of neck - Could it be nerve healing?
Hi and thanks for reading my post! I'm approaching 1 year of B12 injections and in the last week or two I've been having some occasional coolness in my feet, and sometimes in my lower legs up to my knee. The coolness in my feet sometimes starts as an almost burning pain in my right outer toes. It

Expiration date
After reading about the (supposed?) shortage of B12 in UK, I, too, am wondering if PanPharma’s shortened expiration date from 2 years to one year has contributed to this perceived shortage. Have we gotten the final answer on why PanPharma shortened their expiry date? Does anyone know if the inactive

Symptoms and possible colon cancer?
At least 10 yrs ago I had a primary physician tell me I most likely have IBS. My bowel movements were always large and I always thought how in the world can a women produce such long logs in a BM. Three months ago in June, I spent two days in the hospital with what the doctors diagnosed as Hyponatremia

Paralysed Brother diagnosed with severe heart failure, scared and confused as constantly getting conflicting information
DB was taken to hospital last week suffering severe breathlessness and erratic heartbeat. He is paralysed following a spinal cord injury 7 years ago. Upon admission he was also discovered to have low sodium and calcium and "deranged bloods". I live very far away and so called the hospital every day

Low bone density due to high levels of natural fluoride in drinking well water?
Apologies for repeating this question but I have not been able to find it on the website or any replies to it. So first question - How do I find a question that I have posted, along with any responses? But the original question - I have been diagnosed by my GP as having low bone density after a scan

Timing of XGeva & Radium 223.
My husband is due to start Radium 223 treatments at Stanford. His oncologist wants him to also start XGeva. The XGeva injections were postponed until after he had dental crown work done. He had an appointment for that on 2/6 which has been delayed because he tested + for Covid. His rescheduled appointment

adrenal crisis experiences
Good morning, There is no obvious forum for me to post this question to, so I thought I would start with this group since I know some members have addisons and experience with adrenal insufficiency. For those who have experienced an adrenal crisis, did it impact your stomach and back, and if so what
