View 1 RepliesStopped Taking Testosterone Due To High Red Blood Cell Count
I am a 59 yr. old male and a disabled Veteran. I have been taking Testosterone for the past 15 years every 2 weeks. My doctor took me off of it on June 4th because my red blood count was too high. My body doesn't produce Testosterone anymore because of Hemochromatosis, which is a blood disease which produces too much iron in my blood.

I am writing to see if anyone has any ideas for my father in law in Japan. He is in the hospital and the oncologists, and disease specialists cannot diagnose his condition. He has had a fever for over a month, diminishing strength, trouble breathing, and inflamed lymph nodes and spleen. It is my understanding that he has a low white blood cell count as well.

I'm 26 years of age, im 250 lbs and 6ft 1in tall. I know that sounds really fat and im no underwear model but i have a big frame and don't look fat as much as strong. I've recently gotten a few BP readings. the low was 152/85 the higher one i just tried at walmart to help with white coat syndrome, it was 165/88 but my resting heart rate is 59. I can't seem to get a BP reading without first being ****** off by kids playing on the BP machine at walmart while i stand there or waiting 2 hours in a doctor's office. My doctor just seemed to think nothing of my high numbers, "oh it's just white coat syndrome, plus the bottom numbers the real important one". Do i need to wait until im in my 40's to be taken seriously or should i just induce a minor heart attack now? lol

I have high blood pressure and I have renal panel test done every 4-5 months. This is my 4 time and my results came back with increased creatinine 1.68 ( maximum range 1.4) and my gfr was 48. Bun was within range.
Last time when I performed the test 4 months backs the creatinine value was 0.96.
My doctor switched me from tribenzor to axor as my bp reading were normal around 110/70. I test my bp at home weekly and they never cross 120/80.
Can I get my creatinine and egfr values improved or am I professing fast on ckd.
Fibromyalgia - Devil's Claw And White Willow Bark Experience
Hi. I hope everyone is having a blessed day with very little pain. I wanted to offer a suggestion about Fibromyalgia. Now, I was reading in an article in Reader's Digest about tips to be able to battle against Fibro. It suggested a couple of herb supplements to try. Now, having said that I always thought herbs were some kind of wacky joke. But this article was speaking to me, or so it seemed. The herbs they suggested I had NEVER heard of but they said Amazon carried both. The first one was "Devil's Claw" and the second one was "White Willow Bark". Because they weren't tht expensive and I had money so I decided to order both. My expectations were pretty low at this point. Let me add in the fact that I was also sweating ALL THE TIME! My doctors tried hormones thinking iit was just my hormones going through menopause. I had to change my clothes and my sheets all the time it was so bad. After taking both of the herbs for about 1 week, my sweating has almost disappeared! My pain is much better and my moods also has improved!! Now, I just want to say I'm not trying to sell these or anything. You can get them from Amazon. I was just sharing something that has helped me and so I am just passing the information to anyone who might be interested. I hope to have helped at least one person with this. That would make me very happy!! 😄
View 1 RepliesSuboxone For Fibromyalgia Syndrome?
So yesterday I went to see the RA and it appeared as if he cared. He explained that I was severe with FIBRO and that there isn't too much that he could do. He upped my LYRICA to 200 mg (not sure why as it gives me more issues than taking pain away) . He also suggested that I go to a Fibro Clinic in UF , some where in the panhandle of Florida, I can not do it (Finances, Insurance, I don't drive because of LYRICA) . He also gave me a referral for SUBOXONE This is a medicine that they usually give for people who have had problems with pain pills.The RA explained how he just read an article in how this could help me. Has any one else experienced this? Did it work?

View 31 RepliesFibromyalgia Syndrome :: REM And Non-REM Sleep Patterns
While the quantity of sleep can be important, what's much more important is the quality. Our bodies go through two distinct stages of sleep starting with non-REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and then into REM and cycling between the two throughout the night.
When we first fall asleep we drop into the non-REM cycle and this can be further broken down into three stages which move closer towards a deeper sleep. It's during the last stage where our bodies repair and heal and rebuild themselves. Non-REM sleep typically lasts up to 60-90 minutes with the majority of that time devoted to a deep sleep.
After this our bodies cycle into REM sleep. The main characteristic of this cycle is the eye movements that take place and before there were EEGs and ways of measuring muscle activity it was thought that our brains simply shut-off during sleep, this was far from the truth. During REM sleep our brains are quite active and this is the time when dreams occur, if you wake up and vividly remember a dream you were probably in the middle of REM sleep. It is also thought that REM sleep enhances our memory and contributes to our mental and emotional health. It's possible that during these two cycles of sleep we go through periods of maintaining our bodies and our minds.
Adults typically need between 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep a night and during this time our bodies will move through one cycle to the next and back several times. There are also a lucky few of us who seem to be able to function on less sleep...
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Or Fibromyalgia?
I'm a thirteen year old girl with an unhelpful doctor who literally doesn't want anything to do with me because I'm 'hard work' to diagnose. My family believes it's chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia or both. So that's the home treatment path I'm taking. My symptoms have been going for 6 months now and they are diarrhea, nausea, joint aches, headaches, fatigue, confusion, dizziness brain fog, tenderness, weakness and muscle pain. I've been tested for crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, parasites, dysbiosis, virus, infections and celiac disease. I also have eczema, restless legs, irritable bowel, anxiety and gastroesophageal reflux disease. I'm not under any stress at the moment.

View 26 RepliesFibromyalgia Syndrome :: Twitching After Night Out
I went out for a meal with work on Saturday night and have been feeling under the weather ever since. I initially said I wouldn't go but it was a special evening and I really felt that I should make an effort and go. I only had one small beer and lemonade but the food wasn't what I would normally eat and I did feel stressed as I had to sit at the top table which made it difficult to hear and join in conversations. I went to bed about 11.30 and slept for 12 hours. I spent Sunday afternoon in my pjs and slept another 12 hours last night. My muscles have been really twitchy and jerky and my appetite has been down. Do any of you suffer in either a similar way or differently after going out?
