Nalcrom and Intal update
When I spoke with Sanofi recently they confirmed that we should expect Nalcrom to begin being available at wholesalers in the week commencing May 24, 2021. Intal, the inhaled version of sodium cromoglycate, should be available this week (May 10, 2021). Glad to report this progress.

Urgent explosive diarrhoea
Hi to all sorry to post this but I was wondering if anyone else suffers with this. It’s been so debilitating all week. It’s a constant thing that comes and goes but of late it seems to be happening more often 😩. It starts not long after eating with the urgent pains and literally if I’m not a minute

Moved around
My husband has a new dialysis manager that’s very young and hasn’t been a manager for long. She has the center in an uproar by moving people around daily each treatment and changing the doctor’s prescription of medications on the machine. It’s so frustrating to hear my husband talk about it and I feel

Sodium intake
We are often told to restrict sodium intake, and this is probably a good idea if we are accustomed to eating a lot of prepared foods. However it is possible to become sodium deficient if cooking for oneself and reducing salt to the barest minimum. This can lead to some inexplicable symptoms as I personally

Ranolazine, amlodipine and lansoprazo now suggested to take Isosobine mononitrate as well. GTN spray has little effect. Advice, please.
Diagnosed with MVA, eventually, after all the usual frustrations of being made to feel a total fraud since nothing was found through numerous painful ‘attacks’ and the usual ECGs and angiogram. At 62 and previously a very fit male, I’m very thankful to the cardiologist who suspected MVA and put me on

Thromboxane A2 [TxA2]
New study from Spain below [1]. PCa cells tend to have elevated levels of the omega-6 fatty acid: Arachidonic Acid [AA]. NF-kB, which is chronically activated in PCa creates numerous cell-survival proteins, includin the COX enzymes. Acting on AA, COX-2 creates prostaglandins and thromboxane [Tx] (

Recovering after Radiation
I finished my 5 rounds of Radiation Tuesday. I had some bowel irritation over the long weekend after Round 4, now having more after round 5. Gas and diarrhea together, what a treat. The NP told me to try Imodium, and heck next time I need a new safe I will contact the guys who packaged those tablets

Remedies for Parkinson's constipation
This subject comes up a lot, so I figured it would be useful to post our collective wisdom in one place as a reference. As usual – what works for one may not work for another. So members of our club are invited to also post your remedies in the comments.

Should I use GTN spray?
Occasionally I have ‘Pain’ (more like cramp) in left forearm but not in chest. I have recently diagnosed unstable Angina and 1 stent fitted and waiting for #2. Should I use GTN SPRAY?
