Bicarbonate levels?
Hello - I’m trying not to have too much anxiety about this but my latest lab work showed low levels of bicarbonate (CO2). It’s been steadily declining and finally reached below range, 19 on a scale of 20+ but my nephrologist said I should be around 22. My creatinine and BUN are high, but stable and

Keto, Eggs and PD Meds
So I decided that Keto was the way forward. Tried it when I was first DXed for 4 weeks but didn’t help. I probably expected too much in too little time. Anyway, 7 years later and I’m ready for the ‘big push’. Got my larder full of erithytol, almond flour, Keto snacks, MCT oil. Yesterday I had a breakfast

Melatonin for PD
Melatonin (5-methoxy-N-acetyltryptamine): powerful antioxidant that treats abnormalities in sleep-wake cycle, jet lag, cancer, and Parkinson’s disease. Epileptic children have a higher incidence of sleep problems; epilepsy is exacerbated by sleep deprivation. Melatonin has antiepileptic activity. Mechanism

Radium 223 instead of enzalutamide
My dad mentioned that he’d like to come off enzalutamide because of always feeling tired and the doc has agreed and is now starting him on a course of Radium 223. The aim is to target 2 small bone mets and bring them under control. Apparently they are becoming more active so the enzalutamide hasn’t held

radium 223
I am 6 years into stage 4 prostate cancer. Have had SOC treatment in UK. Best PSA was 0.08 about 2 years ago. Since then have had bicalutimide, enzalutimide some localised radiotherapy for back pain. Also been on cabazitaxel, which eventually failed. I am now into my 2nd. treatment of radium 223. So

still decompensated after 5 months any hope?
my partner diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis on 22.12.21. Stopped drinking that day, 5 months later eating healthy high protein low salt, doing everything he has been asked. At the start sodium was dangerously low so he couldn't take water tablets - now his sodium is back within normal levels whilst

Test Results Are In and There’s Improvement
Hi All, Yesterday, I had my first urinalysis and a renal panel done. This was the last step to take before being referred to a nephrologist. Well, it’s not likely I will be referred now because my creatinine went from 1.13 a year ago to 1.05 yesterday. My GFR went from 52 to 56. (Calculated using
