Naproxen instead of Prednisolone
Has anyone else been told to come of steroids and take Naproxen instead? I have been told to reduce from 5mg to zero (4mg this week then 3 then 2 etc )and use Naproxen instead as I’ve got low sodium I’ve had it before when I was first on Prednisolone and have had it since January it despite adding salt

How are your calcium and PTH levels?
I had RAI treatment for Graves 40 years ago. 10 years ago, I was diagnosed with a parathyroid adenoma and had that removed. (by the way--people who took radio active iodine are advised by the NDC to have their PTH hormone levels tested every 5 years) Recently I have suffered from insomnia and extreme

I'm on a waiting list to see a gastro doc after having a very rough time for the last 2 years(since a horrible stomach bug). I've explained before but my issues worsened last year after taking two Flucloaxillin and ever since I've been a digestive mess. However, with 80% of my diet now low fodmap I believe

IBS D obsessed
Hi I have had IBS d for many years. I take Imodium daily just lately because most days I am in situations such as work meetings, places with no toilet or just worry that I will not reach a toilet due to previous attacks. The truth is though I may not actually need the Imodium as I haven’t had a bad attack

Increasing Levothyroxine made my blood work worse
I'm new here but absolutely desperate for some answers. I’m sorry this is going to be long. I was diagnosed hypothyroid back in 2013 and did okay on 25 mcg/day of Levothyroxine. My TSH was never ideal, often a bit above the acceptable range, but whenever they tried to increase my dose I got tons of

Advice on latest TSH results & High vitB12-take PPIs for acid reflux....
Hi Would welcome your thoughts on my latest TSH and whether my sluggish, low energy, weight gain, constant bloated stomach, brain fog, bad short term memory and fungal rash on breasts-Is it all hypo symptoms or B12 deficiency masked by the taking of PPI Omaprazole for hiatus hernia and acid reflux.

Nausea, Cramping & Diarrhoea
Although 14 months post op, but only out of hospital 7 months because of many complications resulting in 5 months ICU, my husband is still feeling nauseous every day & suffering cramping & diarrhoea most days after small meals. He was 14.5 stone before surgery & now 10 stone. The surgeon says this may

RECENT EPISODE on 24 January 2020
Though I had experience of knocking sensation before but last Friday's episode was really dreadful after my dinner. On sitting I felt a pressure on mid-chest area, it was something like I have been locked from inside and can get relief if I have some belching. Noted the BP which was high 180/70 HR 78
