Hold on BiTE study
My husband was supposed to start being evaluated for the BiTE study but ended up in the hospital instead. He was low on fluids, iron, calcium, and a number of other things and was too nauseous to eat or drink almost anything. Everyday his blood numbers dropped till his hemoglobin was 6.7 and they transfused

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

Upper airway obstruction on spirometry?
So I have had a history of rhinitis/polyps for the past 14 years, it is treated with daily nasal steroids/(drops if bad) and an antihistamine- though all allergy tests have been negative. About 2 months ago (after a period of anxiety it so happens) I had been using the steroid drops and started to

Calcium citrate
I can’t take calcium carbonate so take this instead but I’m having trouble finding it in a tablet/capsule size I can easily swallow. Citracal Petites are recommended but I can’t find anywhere that sells them in the UK that doesn’t have dreadful reviews on Trustpilot. Any recommendations?

Hi, I’m on 10mg of Dopi…….. and just increased my entresto to optimal dose. 97/103 on Friday. So far so good. yes, I have had thrush (treated with Canastan) and I have had diarrhoea, and a few other symptoms but they have all settled. I took my time getting to optimal dose of entresto. Over 4 weeks

osteopenia worse, im on enoxaparin/ lovenox any thoughts on vitk2?
I had repeat dexascan says my hips are getting worse, anyone on enoxaparin/lovenox taking vit k2 for “calcium to bone absorption”? Docs are talking about fosamex, etc, but I would rather do vitamins if possible. Not looking for medical advice but would like to know if others with APS are taking it

Unwelcome Set Back

Second Opinion?
In an earlier post I mentioned a vertebral fracture of my thoracic spine that was discovered only because my General Practitioner ordered X-rays because I'd been complaining of back pain for a very long time. I'd told my Onco-team as well. They shrugged it off every time I mentioned it saying, your

Radium 223 before Cabazitaxel?
This was prescribed today to manage bone pain and also because my PSA has not particularly responded to Docetaxel and the bone scan shows further cancer growth. There is some doubt as to whether more chemo will do any good. Has anyone had experience of doing things this way round? I assume I could

Oral Thrush
I started steroid treatment in September and have reduced dose from 20mgs to 15mgs. Throughout treatment I have had Oral Thrush. It cleared after treatment with Nystatin, but almost immediately returned. I am not taking any other medication apart from calcium and Vitamin D tablets. Is Prednisolone causing

Pins and needles feeling
It all started on Tuesday. I had a bloated feeling and thought it was trapped wind? Took a Windeze and it seemed to help that feeling but then got a tingling in my face which was weird this then progressed to my shoulder's, arms and chest. It then seemed to ease and I just carried on. It was an effort

Am I getting enough calcium and should I take a supplement
I’ve done the osteoporosis.com check and it says I don’t. However, blood tests report I do get enough. Doctors have never mentioned I have a lack of calcium. I’ve bought a triple supplement that covers calcium, K2 and D vitamins. I have yet to start taking. If you have too much calcium it’s also not

Can low weight take a toll on Dexa results?
I've recently heard and read lots of conversations regarding DEXA results and low weight, I was diagnosed with osteopenia at the age of 31 (a year after my pregnancy) my height is 160cm my weight used to be 49 kg. No underlying health reasons were found except extremely low D vit and calcium levels
