Massive Headaches During Dialysis
I really need some help if there's anyone who can help. I am a "complex patient" who has Crohn's disease, bowel resections as well as ESRD. Chronic anemia too. Unlike most dialysis patients I have low magnesium, low potassium, low sodium. The headaches I have are excruciating. I take 4x 500mg

I’m pretty new to this group but am very grateful to be part of this forum. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2017 and started sodium risedronate around 2018. I took it until about 4 months ago when my Endocrinologist took me off to put me on Prolia, which she assured me had no contraindications

Private testing - how to decide which tests? Resume supplements?
I'm so happy to have found this forum! Looking for some advice please on private testing. I suspect my thyroid function and possibly adrenal health has been poor for quite a long time, probably declining since late teens (I'm now perimenopausal, at 47 years old). My worst symptoms include brain fog

Blood Protein May Help Predict Diabetes, Death From Cancer— Prostasin commonly found in epithelial cells of organs - MedPage Today, 08/04/22
MedPage Today article about a blood marker I've never heard of, but one that might be worth getting done. Then again, as it seems to predict lifespan, maybe like the Horvath Clock (see link below), a case where for peace of mind it is better to live in the constant state where, at least for some things

Travelling in pads - have you done it?
Since I have had to return to commuting, I wear Tena pants to help manage my IBS-D. One of the issues I have is that the need to pee can trigger a bowel movement if I hold on to it. I don't know if its the pressure of a full bladder or the anxiety of an accident that triggers my bowels, maybe a bit of

B1/Thiamine dosing
Influenced by a thread here, I started taking 200 mg b1/thiamine a day. Was doing fine, but tried to double that and felt funky. It's so hard to know if it is the b1 or not. I am following the b1 dosing protocol and keeping up on magnesium, sodium and potassium. I am curious about others who does

E.Coli/UTI
As a result of some symptoms I reported to my Transplant Coordinator (“TC”) because I was recently prescribed Sodium Bicarbonate for the low CO2 result in my blood test, the TC ordered a Urine Culture test for me at LabCorp. It came back with a “colony” of bacteria in my bladder. I went thru 10 days
