Update on my dad
So I’m not sure what happened to my other post but since a few are still asking I wanted to do an update again. I wrote in the last one that my dad was intubated on a breathing machine and moved to CCU. Yesterday I promised my dad that tube would be coming out. I didn’t know how or when but I knew it

Premature Ventricular Contractions
I take Nature- Throid (dessicated pig thyroid) for Hashis. I have started to have borderline High BP and PVCs. I have a nuclear stress test scheduled. Anyone had a connection? Dropping the dose didn't help

Numbers high again
Good morning all. I had blood work done in April and my numbers were in the normal range, on the high side, but normal. I just had blood work done again and my numbers are all high again. Doc took me off Lipitor and put me on Crestor. My weight is down 15 lbs since the last appointment. No side effects

IMRT side effects?
After a one month trial on Firmagon, switched to Eligard. Good so far; better with latter than former. Supposed to start IMRT in a couple of wks. 25 sessions. Followed by brachytherapy. Reactions to these procedures? Dos? Don'ts. Short term side effects? Long term? I want to know what to expect

Are You Missing These Steps to Health?
For at least the last 100 years or so many "experts" have had an incomplete understanding of what it takes to greatly improve insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Their advice? Reduce carbs as much as you can stand. It's just common sense, right? If you have too much glucose in your blood, stop eating

To take or not take Statins?
LDL-C 161, CT Calcium score 979, passed a stress test, no symptoms. My Cardiologist wants me to take 40mg Lipitor. From my research it seems the benefits of a statin are over stated and the potential problems understated. How can one find out if high choleterol is causing ones athrosclorosis. Many people

Diet changes
Hi everyone! I'm in the early stages of ckd and right now I'm really trying to wrap my head around what I should be eating to be as nice to my kidneys as possible.

Practical suggestions post EBRT and seeds
So, I know that radiation can knock one to the ground big time (continence, bowel, etc.). I start IMRT soon; followed by "booster" seeds shortly thereafter. To those of you who have been through this: what should I expect? what products have you used for continence and bowel "issues"? The thought
