Rheumy does not believe vitamin K is useful
Just got back from my first rheumy appointment. I grilled him about all sorts if things including should I take Vitamin K with my calcium. He said there is no evidence to suggest that it has any use as there have been no "blind clinical trials". I told him I had read it on this forum and he said "people

Re cap on vitamins please.
Hi, I used to take regular supplements as per the great guidance on here. However, the supplements added up, in cost too, and tbh I just got fed up of ordering, paying for, and remembering to take my T4 plus T3 every day plus a whole load of supplements. So, yes, I stopped I went back onto T4 only

Vitamin K
Hello out there! I’ve been unable to get a doctor’s advice or even a comment on the wisdom of taking vitamin D3 with vitamin K2. I read on Google (!) that D3 ensures the absorption of calcium while K2 directs calcium to the bones and prevents it from depositing where it shouldn’t eg arteries, organs

3 months on- Feeling better than I was
As in the title, after following advice given to me on here, by Seaside Susie and Slow Dragon….i feel much better. Not 100% but getting there I hope! I managed to get an appointment with a new doctor who agreed to raising the dose of my Levo by 25mcg which is what I had been trying for with no luck…

Vitamin D with K for babies
I advised my daughter to check the vitamin D drops she gives her four month old son to make sure vitamin K was included. From a previous post on here I recommended Carlsons, but after checking on Amazon it doesn’t mention vitamin K on the Carlson label. Can anyone recommend a product? Otherwise it will

Freshly picked Blackberries.
Hi everyone, Yesterday I picked these blackberries from brambles growing wild in my hedgerow so I didn't have far to walk. Blackberries are synonymous with Autumn in the UK and will be in fruit for a little while yet. Wild blackberries from brambles have much more flavour than shop bought ones in my

Thrombos up every summer!
Has anyone noticed this in their tests? Since my diagnosis, my thrombos are always at their lowest in springs and go way up every July/August, then return to normal end of September. Is it the heat? (For this in the Northern Hemisphere 🙂) Is it the eating more green salad and vitamin K? Any thoughts

Calcium supplements - continued
I have been reading the replies to Narwhal with interest, and note that calcium carbonate is not a good idea. I avoid any supplements generally, but I have wondered about taking a little calcium, vitamin D, and Vitamin K. I have just looked at the ones for sale on the Boots website, and found that the

Associations between osteoporosis and drug exposure: a post-marketing study of the World Health Organization pharmacovigilance database
This is a comprehensive paper on the impact of medicines on bone density, osteoporosis and fracture. Thyroid hormones are listed but their impact appears considerably lower than for Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), Methotrexate, Steroids, Hydroxychloroquine, and others. It is also often mentioned here

Standby Vitamin K for warfarin users
A warfarin question (I’m 6 weeks post op): I eat some Vit K foods every day and try to keep it consistent, like a salad every lunchtime or other green veg or spinach quiche (small portion). So far my INR has been fine. Today we had to throw the salad out as it had gone off, so I had an egg and some avocado

Heart Issues but otherwise healthy
Hi all, I live in the Panhandle of Florida. I am fairly active even though I have an artificial heart valve and a pacemaker. I try to stay healthy by eating the right foods and limiting vitamin K to keep my INR stable but every now and then, I have a question about diet and INR results.

What is your take on Soybean? 🧐🤔
Edamame has always been my favorite snack since I was little. I usually steam and sprinkle a little bit of sea salt. You may find edamame prepared the same way as appetizer when you go to a sushi restaurant. I found many health benefits from edamame but one thing I’m concerned is phytoestrogen or isoflavones

My wife has been discharged from hospital
I must firstly say a big thank you to all that have replied to my last posts. My meeting with the consultants was unimpressive as they were basically trying to cover their arses. The gastroenterologist didn't really remember my wife's history of numerous bleeds, blamed the on duty surgeon for not doing

Information about REMS Echolight scan for osteoporosis
Does anyone have experience with this new type of bone scan that measures both bone density and bone quality? It has been used in Europe but is relatively new to the US. I am interested in this because I have very low DEXA scores in my spine -4.1 and hip -2.8. No fractures to date but my doctor would

Fat soluble vitamins
I have read that the more advanced cases of PBC have more problems with fat soluble absorption. I haven't been diagnosed yet but I have been living with low vitamin absorption for probably 20 years. The sublingual d vitamin (you just put the drops on the tongue.) is a great way to get vitamin d in winter

How do Intramuscular Injections of B12 work?
Hi, after reading numerous posts I am intrigued to find out the mechanism of an intramuscular injection. I wonder if other members could help? The doses that members need are considerably more than the NHS prescribe. I know that some vitamins in high doses can have pharmaceutical effects. Vitamin K is

Medichecks result: B12 way too high, TSH suppressed - T4 and T3 somewhere in range? Help please?
Hi all These are my latest Medichecks results, blood test taken first thing in the morning, fasting, no vitamins for a week, previous dose of Levothyroxine morning before. I'm really surprised because I'm not feeling well and these results indicate that I should be? Except for the high Vit B result?
