Difference between calcium citrate and calcium carbonate
I just read an article that someone who takes antacids should be taking calcium citrate. I have big stomach issues so I take a lot of different things for my stomach and I had never heard this. My latest dexa scan indicated more damage to my bones in the last two years. I already suffer from severe osteoporosis

Midway through Radium 223 and look what I caught....
The treatments have left me pooped but somehow I muster up and go ocean fishing for salmon. This is from Friday. Ocean season closes today.....I got out 7 times. Kicks my butt, but it really motivates me.

Ferrograd C - does it sell in the UK?
Hi all, I’m in the UK for some time and I can feel that my iron is low again (been a continuous issue for years, I know the signs). In Australia I used to take Ferrograd C with fantastic results. Is there an equivalent here? I haven’t come across it. Ferrograd: Each tablet contains: Dried ferrous

Blood results - I don't know what they mean!
Hello everyone, I'm new to this so please bear with me. I have recently been diagnosed with severe auto-immune hypothyroidism for which I have begun treatment. Along with the thyroid bloods there were kidney ones and I was wondering whether they are ok as they are close to the edge of the ranges. Serum

supplements interfering with medication
I know it's an obvious one but what are your thoughts/experiences with taking supplements that may interfere with, in my case hydroxychloroquine, or other RA/PsA meds? I started pizotifen a few weeks ago for severe migraine and cluster headache prevention. It worked like magic but I gained 3/4 stone

It’s 3am and I have a migraine
Hi all, I’m a 21 year old female with genetic history of migraines, my grand father had surgery on his brain because of migraines (weird to me), and my aunt has a pseudotumor on the optic nerve. I’ve been dealing with migraines since I was a kid. The earliest I remember is around 7. I have been on countless

Seeking a salt substitute
Since I went on a low sodium diet due to heart failure and kidney disease, I have been searching for a salt substitute that I like, while avoiding anything with chemical content. I have tried Mrs. Dash table blend, etc., and it's okay but not real satisfactory for me. The best so far appears to be

Thinkin Bout Things, Salt this time
With a bit of time, even things like the COVID virus are accommodated by our fears and broader concerns bubble back up. One of the challenges faced by a lot of people with serious chronic illness is that they are alone physically or emotionally. As I think about these past weeks and staying at home

Random attacks
I think most of us are aware of what causes flare ups, be it specific foods, stress etc. But does anyone just get random attacks for no reason? This week I’ve had 2 really bad bouts of diarrhoea, Imodium helped but I still have the cramps and general pains. Nothing unusual eaten this week, been good

Blood test results TSH 16 Ferritin 14
Good evening, Clearly my TSH & Ferritin is terrible. I had a TT in Nov was on 125 mg but I started on a dose of 150 mg today. I have been given some Ferrous Sulfate tablets to take too. I have kindly been advised that my Ferritin needs to increase to allow my body to abosord my Levo. Please could

Struggle with fibre
Hi it seems that any kind of fibrous food sets my IBS off, and fatty foods give me heartburn. Do you think there may be a reason for this? I am taking some probiotics and will take Imodium regularly, although on lockdown haven’t needed to. So really just asking if anyone else is the same and what foods
