Blood Test
All organ functions were OK but I was low on
Sodium
and prescribed a off prescription for iron. I asked about my Afib and she said what Afib!!! She had no idea I had Afib but was aware I was sent up the hospital.

My doctors are refusing to monitor T3
Finally convinced my endo.specialist to prescribed Liothyronine
sodium
5mcg around 6 months ago. My doctors are refusing to monitor T3 and increase the dose if needed. Pls. see my blood work results in the last 6 months. I learned a lot from this group.

Blood tests ok
sodium
a bit low but inflammatory markers showed up. Looked up these and AF. Apparently it’s linked. So more blood tests next month. So Dr said he wouldn’t give antibiotics to see how I go. Yeah ... ringing consultant secretary tomorrow.

Zytiga users, How much prednisolone do you take?
Last week, scary symptoms of low
sodium
made us rush to the Emergency room. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, how much prednisolone are you taking with your zytiga? He started with 5mg twice a day but then reduced it to 5mg once a day.

T3 Liothyronine that doesn't contain sodium?
Hi, I am wondering if anyone knows of T3 that doesn't contain
sodium
chloride? I have been suffering with water retention since starting on Tiromel and wondered if I'm sensitive to the fillers/
sodium
.

SALT!
Remember that the average body NEEDS 6gm of salt a day and that it's insulin, not
sodium
that drives hypertension. Insulin hangs on to
sodium
,
sodium
increases blood volume which drives up blood pressure and thus elevates pressure on the kidneys.

Does anyone have low CO2 readings on their labs?
My doctor was not too concerned and said to increase my
sodium
citrate that I take. But, I was feeling really crappy for a while. However, once I increased my dosage, my symptoms have vastly improved. Anyone else have this and if so, can you share any symptoms you had?

Can't Find Accurate Description of Liothyronine (T3)
So far I have looked at Drugs.com webmd.com medlineplus.gov uofmhealth.org pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov goodrx.com rxlist.com NOTE: This last site at least discusses the structure of the molecule and includes this text: "Cytomel (liothyronine
sodium
) Tablets may be used in preference to levothyroxine

I have had a phone consultation with the NHS dietician that has told me that I must now eat a LOW not NO Fat diet incorporating low
sodium
and sugar. This sounded fine to begin with and now I have a few questions that I can't find definitive answer to and am hoping you can help.

Dietary numbers
My dad's renal dietitian doesn't want to give me amount of
sodium
/potassium/phosphorus he should be within for his daily meals. Is there a site I can plug his numbers in from his lab that will tell me how many mg is ok for him?

Surgery to the spine for mets
I have mets to my spine in the cervical and thoracic regions and have had the maximum radiation allowed to that area. It seems there is new activity in the area and the Docs are discussing surgery to try and eliminate some of the spinal compression causing pain and numbness. Has anyone undergone surgery

Possibly getting off exforge
Magnesium always normal, same for Calcium,
Sodium
, etc. My ESR and CRP fluctuates between elevated and out of range, to normal. When I take a specific type of Magnesium supplement(I've tried several), it seems to improve my symptoms a little.

Six years into PMR. What should my GP be testing me for?
I'm thinking I ought to get another dexa scan despite the fact I have been taking calcium and aledronic acid, and another blood test to check blood sugar/thyroid/liver and kidney function/potassium and
sodium
levels. Any thoughts on the above and anything else I should ask for at the review?
