Can Lyme disease cause thyroidism?
I saw a piece on TV some time ago where the founder of Phones4U developed hyperthyroidism after being infected with Lyme disease. Now 11 members of his family have Lyme disease and he's convinced it's passed from human to human as well as through ticks. Have any thyroid sufferers been exposed to infected

Vitamin K2 and calcuim scores.
I am 75 years old, have always been fairly fit and had a good diet. A few months a go I learned that I had a calcium score of 1800 or so. I have now had a cabg. I have read many articles and watched several videos that declare that Vitamin K 2 can reduce calcium scores. What is the BHF view of this

Boil burst internally. Freaking out at the idea of bacteria spreading.
Hello I just need some helpful advice I have so much health anxiety right now. I had noticed an almond shaped boil that was inflamed two days ago. I had not noticed it before but two days ago it was bigger about 2.5cm longways and 1cm width. It was not white it had no pus at the surface or anything so

Stent or CABG option
I cant figure this out. I had a stent fitted a month ago and have disease in three vessels. Someone i was talking to at rehab had similar disease and was offered either a stent or CABG. They went for CABG as the Dr said best option. It got me wondering - were they offered CABG as they had worse disease

Smiling at adversity through gritted teeth
Hi my fellow hearties, hope you’re all coping ok with the heat. Now that I’ve calmed down somewhat I’ll just share my week with you all. It’s been a mixed bag for sure. As I’ve previously posted, I have a moderate to severe leaky mitral valve, heart failure with an EF of 38%, and ischemic heart disease

Goodbye kettles!
At last - a new gadget to replace a kettle! For years I have struggled with carrying a full kettle and/or pouring water from it. One solution was to use a small travel kettle, which is fine for just one cup but not much more. So I was thrilled to discover this hot water dispenser. You just use a light

Hereditary?
I had a a 4 x CABG in May. At the time my doc said my condition was probably 'hereditary' as no prior high BP or high cholesterol etc and my Dad also had a bypass at age 55. The report the surgeon gave me post op stated he found 'diffuse disease' and 3 arteries were occluded. Does anyone know if this

Scars
Hi all hope you are enjoying your Friday. Has any one had any one had any experience with Hypertropic scars? I think my arm where they tried to harvest arteries for my CABG is going that way, although no arteries were used. Thanks in advance x

How to reduce Calcium Score ??
I was given a CAT scan that was cut short with the message "Cannot continue with Calcium Score of 1829"! . After other scans I was given a CABG. I am unaware of how a CABG reduces the Calcium Score of the gunge in the unchanged arteries. I am 75 and have always been fit and active and had a good diet

Sleeping/sleep position post cabg
Hi all, l am now about a week and a half post op, double CABG. Everything seems to be moving along ok, I’m doing my exercises, getting a bit stronger by the day, the op seems like ages ago already. One thing I’m struggling with is sleep. Not so much getting to sleep, but trying to sleep on my back when

My cramps are gone
I've been on Imbruvica for well over one year and I have often had some really bad cramps, mostly at night. Lately I have developed boils. I don't like to take antibiotics, so I thought that if i started self treating the boils they would go away. Ha! Was I wrong. One of my boil treatments was to soak
