Iron plus zinc better for iron deficiency anemia
reading about zinc I came across the following article. I mean it focuses on chronic kidney desease but I found this gem of info stating that zinc combined with iron is better than iron alone. Now I'm not iron deficient. But I thought this might be interesting for those who are. Beware too much zinc

Losing hope
Hi everyone 👋 This is the first time I've tried chats online, but I just feel like I have nobody to talk to about how I feel. I'm really struggling with anxiety and depression and having a lot of negative thoughts. Medication does nothing, I can't motivate myself to do anything and I feel completely

WHAT ARE THE CURRENT EFFECTIVE SALVAGE TREATMENTS IN CASE OF A REOCCURRENCE IF YOU HAVE HAD SBRT,IMRT, WITH PLACEMENT OF GOLD BARS?

gold markers
you cannot do any of the following
salvage treatments in case of a reoccurrence
: Proton therapy, Hifu, Tulsa Pro , Etc. Is this true???? Again a significant fact left out before treatment...

anyone else feel wierd after discontinuing Piqray / Faslodex?
Hi all, my docs took me off Piqray and Faslodex a week ago. Since then I’ve had worse night sweats and diarrhea then when I was on the drugs! Plus a lingering headache and overall yucky feeling. I assumed it would resolve after a couple days but it’s been a full week. Has anyone else experienced that

Medication help for anxiety/panic attack
Hello, I am new to this website and have been reading many of your posts. I guess we are all in the same boat and just trying to get by day to day. I have a question I was hoping to get some help with. I have suffered from anxiety and depression since around 1998 after my Mother passed away and a Daughter

Reacting to piqray.
Don’t want to worry anyone, but just wanting to know if anyone has had this reaction to Piqray. I’m into my second week. On Piqray and Fulvestrant. At first I thought it was only my bottom, (left side) near site of injection, that was itchy. Then I started feeling a prickly feeling all over my body.

I have RLS and recently updated iron labs revealed the following: Ferritin=59.2ng/mL & Transferrin Saturation = 53%.
I have been taking oral iron supplements (Iron sulfate 325mg) and Vitamin C 200 mg daily on an empty stomach but the ferritin has been going up but slowly but the transferrin saturation has gone up much higher. Should I continue with my iron supplements?

Is it safe to take mesalazine/octasa long term for ulcerative colitis?
Hi everyone, I'm Claire and was diagnosed with mild/moderative ulcerative colitis last year. Apart from an initial flare up (followed by diagnostic procedures leading to a diagnosis), my only symptoms have been an uncomfortable/slightly painful feeling in my stomach/upper intestine. My gastroenterologist

Attacks
Am I in the right group? I had been diagnosed by a psychiatrist as being bipolar . My therapist writes down that I have General Anxiety Disorder . So am I posting to the right group? Also, what is the difference between a anxiety attack and a panic attack?

CRS4PC and Zytiga side effects ?
My hubby is 69 and recently started Zytiga three weeks ago and it seems that he has developed moderate fatigue and low appetite since one week ago. I’m wondering if this could be a side effect of the Zytiga or if anyone thinks it’s an immunity infection attack.

Colonoscopy
Hello, I’ve been having various bowel issues for the past few months, ie. constipation, bloating, slight pain in lower back, bit of diarrhoea and my Dr would like me to go for a colonoscopy. As there’s no bleeding, I assumed it could be something else. Am I wrong to think this? Any advice welcome

Oxynorm
I'm too .... shattered... to give a nicely put story even a short n sweet would be too much right now. So in the meantime I would love to hear your thoughts on Oxynorm as pain relief for brutal endometriosis. It's helping reasonably well for me (though not fully I may add) Many thanks in advance

Small panic attacks
So yesterday I was walking the dog like I do everyday, I got so far from my house and started thinking what if I have a heart attack while I'm walking the dog, so I turned back and stayed about 5-7 mins from my house and made me feel better ,, but that's the worse thing someone can do, you need to face

I have a horse voice all the time. I have nodules on my lungs. I have other medical issues. I suffer from depression

carbimazole and iron supplements
hi all, I have very low ferritin and need to supplement iron. Do I need to take my carbimazole away from iron or it doesn’t matter?

Urso and gallstones
A recent ultrasound revealed possible gallstone blocking a bile duct. An MRCP was recommended and carried out a couple of weeks ago although more like an MRI as no contrast was administered. I now have an appointment in June but I'm not sure what for. My concern is from reading the Urso leaflet it
