I guess it was bound to happen. Yesterday on a 5km run in s delightful part of the Algarve, I slipped on some loose gravel stepping off a kerb and went sprawling. I badly cut my right arm, sprained my right ankle and grazed my left knee. I was at the furthest point of my run so had a 2.5 km limp back

I check in weekly and have learned so much from everyone. I live in the US still we have a lot in common. I waited months to see an endo. The point of the appt was to review my labs and make any suggestions on meds and see if my GP was on the right track. She is concerned as my weight is the same although

Was initially diagnosed hypothryoid October last year; TSH was 115 (range 0.55-4.78), and T4 <3.9 (range 11.5-22.7). As you can imagine, I felt very rough at that point! Started on 50mg Levothyroxine early October, increased to 100mg late November (due to thyroid inflammation), and have been on that

Hi. I suffer from bronchiectasis and have incredible trouble shifting the sputum on my lungs. I take Carbocisteine, Montelukast, Fostair inhaler and nebulise with salbutamol and saline. My breathing exercises give little relief and I have tried a flutter device. I have just read about the “HydroBubble

Hi, I’ve recently reluctantly agreed to try nebulising colomycin. It’s going ok apart from being so time consuming. It takes ages for the saline to completely dissolve the powder, and in spite of gently rolling, not shaking, the bottle, it still gets frothy when nebulising. Any advice please? 😊

Hard to describe but I've had it for a while in my left ear where I make circles on the ear where the jaw is. So the bit of skin that is on the face right next to the ear. I can hear/sense stuff inside, like wax or mucus maybe. The right ear doesn't do it and doesn't ring either, just the left. I did

Ok, this is not complaining but sharing and also an awareness or warning for anyone going into surgery for anything. As some of you know, I had to lose weight in order to get on the transplant list.

hi all-haven’t been on here for a while dealing with things. Update on hubby: He is currently on 7.5 mg of methadone and .5 Xanax for sleep. He can’t sleep in bed or lying down because he can’t breathe well….mostly due to severe nasal congestion. He is only using saline nose drops now because the

I probably asked this before, but as I am having trouble sleeping—actually just falling asleep—the V.A. will not prescribe any sleep agents to me because they say I have sleep apnea (without any tests). I have always had trouble falling asleep, but the falling asleep part is even harder now with this

I heard that Taurine and Tumeric Supplements were good for the heart however if on blood thinners may interact to thin the blood even further. Does anyone have knowledge or information on this topic? I am on elaquis 5 mg twice daily.
