blood pressure meds and low sodium
back on here again following my last blood results to see how the Losartan (for BP) is affecting me - or not. (I’ve been on it since the last week in January) I feel quite happy & well being on this low dosage of 25mg and my BP is now in the normal range. However: isn’t there always a “However

I am new
I was diagnosed with epilepsy at 12 and am now 59. I have two daughters with fetal valproate spectrum disorder. I have coped fine with epilepsy, I was young enough for me to learn to walk in step with it. My mum always stressed about it, as when I was diagnosed, the Doctor told her that he had hoped

Topical peppermint oil for pain management?
Hey, everyone, I'm new here I'm looking for more over the counter options especially low cost. I spend far more than I would like to admit on managing my IBS. I have only heard of Peppermint oil capsules but has anyone tried applying it topically to their abdomen? I'm not sure it would be effective

Ferrous Sulphate 325mg modified release
Hi, is there anyone else in the UK using modified (sustained/slow) release ferrous sulphate 325mg or have you been able to obtain the normal, immediate release ferrous sulphate in this dose? My GP is telling me it is only available as modified release (or this may be the only one on their prescribing

Any tips on what I can do?
if I have one or two beers or if I have 10+, the next morning I will tend to go to the toilet with Diarrhoea 3-4 times fairly close to each other in times, and after this I would take Imodium so that I can get on with my day without having to worry about where the closest toilets are or if I’ll even

Wife passing from decompensated cirrhosis complications
My wife and I were moderate drinkers for many years. My wife, like many people, had a phobia of going to the doctors and had not had an annual check up for 26 years! She was incredibly healthy. Hardly ever had a sniffle and on no meds. I am a clinical pharmacist and am well aware of signs of liver

14 Studies from the 1950s about T3-Only for All Sorts of Chronic Issues
These studies used T3 to benefit everything from mental issues, to gastrointestinal problems, to infertility, to poor performance in school. One study even used T3 with one-year-olds. Pretty remarkable results. I've included links for each study. - Tittle (1956). Effects of 3,5,3’ l-triiodothyronine

#2 Update: Adrenal Testing
This afternoon (12.45) I had the blood draw for: Adrenal auto-antibodies, Aldosterone, Renin, Potassium & Sodium. I've also had a short Synacthen test. Stop The Thyroid Madness (For better, for worse) insist that salt is restricted the day before Aldosterone testing and that the arm is held at a perpendicular

Apologies -Loperamide Liquid Oral solution Discontinued
My post should have said Loperamide Liquid Oral Solution has been discontinued. I have tried taking half of an instant melt Imodium which wasn’t very successful so I will try to get tablets (as opposed to capsules ) and break up! Not sure why the liquid has been discontinued!

hi, husband diagnosed 2017, lots of different treatments, none lasted very long. Including 2 different chemos, xtandi, casodex, etc radium 223 last year. We are in the UK, have now been told we have exhausted treatments under NICE guidelines and he’ll be offered pain relief under palliative care. He

#1: The Start
Following the example of Clarebear I've decided to document my thyroid-adrenal journey on here in hopes it'll keep me accountable, and also may serve some after me. After a long, complicated history of no diagnosis, followed by lithium treatment, then prolonged time spent on T4 with no improvement,

Buprenorphine
I am currently taking 300 mg Pregabalin around 7pm and 2x 30 g of codeine (sometimes 3x 30g) during the night. I am also taking ferrous sulphate at 10pm each night. This isn’t working. I take the first codeine half an hour before bedtime and maybe sleep for 1 to 2hours. I then have to walk around/have

potassium level
I recently had bloodwork done. My sodium is at very bottom of range.( 135) it always has been. My potassium is 3.7 with a range of 3.5-5.5. I have tended to be around 4 or a tad higher. A year ago I was 3.8. I have been injecting every 3 weeks for a year and a half. Do I need more potassium? I know it

IBS D
Hi, I’ve suffered with mixed ibs for 7 years but having a really bad flare up last few months of ibs D. So I’ve been taking Imodium for 2 days a week while I’m at work, which has helped to slow it down. But about 5 days after I’ve had the Imodium I have explosive diarrhoea! Is that because the Imodium

Zometa with or without Radium 223?
Hi I have done 1 year with Zometa alongside Docetaxel and more recently Radium 223. I'm halfway through the Radium 223 course but have been advised that after a year, Zometa has reached maximum effectiveness and should be stopped. After a rocky start I'm feeling much better and much less frail.

Coming off Naproxen safely?
Hi After 3 doses of Radium 223, my pain and general core strength seems to be improving after a rocky start. I'm also taking low dose Dexamethasone. I'd like to come off Naproxen gently and just take Paracetamol. I'm taking 2 x500 mg a day after meals. I'd be grateful for any experience or advice
