Hello , my question relates to my bloods, re Vitamin B12 replete Plasma Folate level, is a result of 7ng/ml ( 4.0-20.0) considered low?
Think i may have hypothyroidism. I have epilepsy and been using medication for 40yrs, sodium valproate/epilim. Just discovering it can stop vitamins and minerals being absorbed into the body properly and cause Thyroid problems. My bloods came back as deficient in vitamin D, as 24 nmol/l , testing range

Breakfast smoothie
I'm looking for a breakfast smoothie recipe that will keep me going to lunch. Something that is low potassium, phosphorous and sodium? My normal go to is banana and oats but looking for something with spinach and banana replacement?

B12 and electrolyte imbalance
Hi folks I have been struggling with low sodium due to laxative use, (I have severe IBS). In the process of trying to correct the sodium I changed meds to Linzess and took sodium. I think that caused an electrolyte imbalance. Now I am feeling really bad with weak legs, bad vision problems, shortness

Sodium benzoate in soft drinks?
Hi everyone. I hope you are doing ok in this difficult time. I wanted to know if anyone has ever had a reaction to sodium benzoate (also known as E211), which is a preservative found in a lot of processed foods. Sometimes I feel that my throat/chest is a bit irritated when I drink Diet Coke but then

Information about spinal cord compression.
Has anyone experienced a spinal cord compression or fracture? Can you share your experiences. Has anyone experienced what it means to prevent one. We know that getting an MRI to show the urgency of treatment is one thing and then the mention of surgery. We don't know what that means. Who handles this

Have I really reached the last hitching post. Its truly surreal.
At the risk of being mellow dramatic, I have recently been disqualified from a clinical trial bombesin) due to lack of expression on the Psma pet scan, prior to this brief attempt at a novel clinical trial I was on my 6th round of carboplatin and cabataxal, my M.o informed me of a couple more trials

Have I got kidney disease.
I'm sorry to barge into the group but has anyone got a clue about my severe left side pain. I have low sodium at 130. Gfr at 69. Urine Osmolity at 95. Potassium 4.6. I also am type 1 diabetic. Hashi underactive thyroid. Any advice taken as my gp takes no notice of it at all.

IgA for 10+ years and sudden drop of eGFR 85 to 69
Hello all! I’m a 37 years old female who was diagnosed with IgA Nephropathy about 11 years ago. A little bit of my backstory... it was around this time of year back in 2009, one day purpara (blood spots) started flaring up on my lower legs. I saw many doctors and specialists, eventually I ended up in

Off topic: "Are Women the Fitter Sex?".
There was a very interesting programme on Channel 4 (UK) this evening with Dr Ronx, called "Are Women the Fitter Sex?". It discussed how women and men respond differently to the Covid virus infection, and how clinical testing can fail to take account of meds affecting men and women in different ways

Clinical Trial Niraparib or XOFIGO
Good morning, I am new to this forum and am thankful for having found it. I am trying to learn as much as I can about my husband’s diagnosis and pray that we are making the best decisions for his treatments. To this point we have not sought out a 2nd opinion and have wholeheartedly trusted in the treatment

Pre screening for the clinical trial. I didn't know what I didn't know.
this past Thursday I was eligible to be pre screened for the clinical trial, I am now in that category, at least temporarily because it was determined I am anemic, I am scheduled for a transfusion next week to bring my count up. I am in between chemo, as well i have extensive bone Mets and luckily

Saw my Oncologist today, not good news.
Those following me know I've had bad luck with pain and treatments, getting pain under control has been a real challenge and last 3 treatments have failed. The Radium 223 saw my PSA rise quickly half way through, he tried Zytiga + Predisolone my PSA initially dropped to 88 in early Nov but by Dec it
