Update from miserable w Vegan
Hi everyone, I thank all of you for your good advice. I finally got a second opinion and a renal dietician, they allowed me to eat fish and chicken 2 to 3 times a week with limited portions. I found it extremely weird that I felt 10x worse after seeing my old doctor. I had non stop headaches, leg pain

Not sure I should even be posting in this group now ☹️🙄
Well I have not run since October 16th now. First there was the nasty virus and chest infection that would not clear - over 7 weeks!!! And then the niggly hip pain that has been on and off since the summer but has got steadily worse not better. I’d had exercises to do - no better, painkillers-no help

Early Hypo/Hashi's Complicated By Adrenal/Low Cortisol
Greetings everyone: Finally got fed up with my family doctor who knows nothing and went two routes - endocrinologist (my doctor reluctantly gave a referral) and naturopath. Symptoms I have just about every symptom of hypothyroidism I have ever read and I am confirmed Hashi's by antibodies and ultrasound

Best bone supplements
I never know which supplements to take, or which are good. Can anyone recommend? Does anyone take this one? I have osteopenia age 45 through having my ovaries removed post cancer, and am very keen to stop any further bone loss. This forum is amazing, thanks so much for all the posts and advice. :) Rundown

New member, question about iron and rls
Hello, hope someone can help me, I've been given ferrous sulfate tablets 200mg three times a day as I have rls symptoms and a ferritin level of 27. I was just wondering how long it takes on these tablets for ferritin levels to show any improvement and to get to the recommended level needed to improve

Is this recovery?
I'm a little confused as to how I'm doing. I took two tablets of Flucloaxillin in May and got very very unwell and haven't been the same since. Im a touring musician who's had gigs a few times a month thus taking around one dose of imodium once per week since October. I've found the effects to last up

Collapsed
Hi everyone I collapsed earlier due to weakness from a very strict vegan . My doctor (who I don't trust) said absolutely no protein no sodium . He diagnosed me w stage 5 ckd but my GFR is 35% which is stage 3 on numerous medical web sites. He has not given me any medication. My creatinine has gone down

Understanding people's non understanding
Realised that part of the problem is understanding people's NON understanding about IBS. I can empathise as I have numerous friends with depression and have thankfully never faced it but yesterday I went to the docs to get some relief for a fingernail infection and told them I couldn't take oral ones

Too much to bear!!!!
Hi guys. So got to see my gp she has referred me for more MRI scans but it's going to be a few weeks. It's always a waiting game with this fibro, for appointments, to see what new pain comes and how bad. Anyway I've been in sooo much pain the last few weeks, I dont know if it's the cold weather. I do

Advice please?
Completed W7R1 today but from waking up this morning I had a little twinge at the top of my thigh. Felt like a trapped nerve type twinge. Did my warm up walk and it seemed to ease off so started my 25mins run. Was ok for the first 20 mins but then started to feel the twinge. I wouldn’t say it was sore

Extreme rapid weight loss
Ok so husband has gone from 203 on November 20th to 182 this morning. When he hit 183.5 yesterday I insisted we go to ER. They have him a bag of fluids. Labs actually didn’t look to wonky so they sent him home 3 pounds up from the fluids but was even lower this morning. Clearly he can’t lose 1-2 pounds

IBS basics for beginners
Dear all, I have recently been suffering from excess burping and stomach pains for which I became dependent on Nexium for a couple of weeks. I have recently found that this is due mainly to changing from almond milk to lactose free milk, and also because I have been drinking a lot of decaff tea and

Chemicals with alternate fenbendazole
Somewhere I saw that a cheaper way to obtain fenbendazole was the Safe-Guard suspension for goats. But it says "not for human use." The other ingredients are Water Methyloparaben propylparaben silicon dioxide providones trisodium citrate ihydrate carboxymethycellulose sodium citric acid monohydrate

Sitting down is a real pain!
Hello I have suffered from lower back pain for most of my adult life. I suspect that this is in common with many, many people but just over 2 years ago I had another familiar episode but this time it did not diminish with the usual sodium diclofenac and Co-Codomol. The main painful and very frustrating
