Claudication and blood pressure medication
It's very likely I have claudication. I've always been active and a bit of a walker (about 40 mins each day) but since September my calf muscles have been very painful after about 20 mins. Can I ask how this is managed by people who may also have it? My second question relates to blood pressure

Prostate Cancer and Statins
My overall cholesterol has recently increased (9.2 mmol/L), although my HDL remains high at 2.88 mmol/L. The jury seems to be out on whether high HDL levels are of benefit in combatting high LDL levels. My GP wants me to go on statins. I had hoped to continue trying to mitigate the high overall and LDL

Tinnitus and hearing loss in one ear - not sure what to do next
Hi, Looking for a bit more information on my own case of tinnitus and hearing loss - and to see if anyone has had any similar experiences. I'm 37 btw - so unlikely to be related to age. Basically this is what's happened below: April 2023 - ear wax blockage in both ears - so used olive oil drops (as

How effective is fenofibrate for itch?
My doctor suggested a few different drugs, like rifampricin, naltrexone, and fenofibrate for my itch. He prescribed fenofibrate as he thinks it works best. Does anyone here take it and if so, has it helped? I'm worried about the warnings it comes with about severe liver damage.

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Alverine and/or Simalvia - (which is alverine citrate with simethicone.) Side effects.
I have recently been put on these. I have found that both the standard alverine citrate, which I had tried first, now the Simalvia, cause feelings of extreme anxiety about an hour after taking the tablet! Weird and not listed in the side effects. So far it seems ineffective on the pain anyway. Would

Finally a specialist appointment...
I am looking forward to an appt in 2 days with a specialist in proctology and she is a colon surgeon and does pelvic floor therapy as well. My hemerrhoids - or whatever this is - are not getting better. Keeping the constipation under control with diet, water, miralax and occasional stool softener.
