On my 8th lab up from the bottom on the list I have "PYY". My PCP says he thinks it should be TYY and that it would take some special orders to get and maybe not even locally. Questions.......1. PYY or TYY, 2. What is it, do I need it? Thanks for any insight. EW

Below is a lab list I put together to help me list and keep track of results. Am I missing anything. So many of these have more than one name or acronym and are also part of a bigger test. I'm about tapped and going cross eyed trying to figure out what is what. Open to any/all suggestions...

Diana, I was crunching the numbers in your post above and noticed a big imbalance in my supplimentation. The info you posted above states the being short on Magnesium / long on Calcium can cause A-Fib. The info above recommends 1 part calcium to 2 or more parts magnesium. I am on the VitaLady...

Wow....thanks Diana, I guess I'll check "All of the above". I will share all this and get labs right away to see where I am right now. The info above stated to taper in on the mag and potassium. I did not do that, I just started on the VitaLady starter dosing and have been following that...

Another update. Went in yesterday for a pre-colonoscopy screening. While the nurse was doing my blood pressure she kinda wigged out and released the blood pressure and put the stethoscope straight to my heart. She listened for a long time and left the room. She came back with a surgeon who...

In all fairness to my surgeon, I haven't done anything he suggested due to my own negligence. He has tried to follow up by mail and with surveys several times and I did not complete them. I have no one to blame but myself. I am working myself out of this health rut and will be re-establishing...

Thanks Diana. A young man local to my community needs one soon. At this point he is trying to find A or O blood types and I am A-. I will follow up and see if I can even be considered. I will bring along the info you posted. BTW, I used your new PCP intro letter last week and I landed a...

Are there any possible risks or complications long or short term with being a kidney donor? Anyone done it or considered it then backed out, why? I'd love to hear the perspectives and experiences. Thanks in advance. EW

21st of which month?

That is my next priority Diana. Is Barbara still in his office? Wanna do lunch if I can get an appointment? I'm thinking early June. EW

Just a quick update since my original post. I have been working a demanding project in a remote area so not much time or ability to be online. I have been on the VitaLady basic DS plan for over six weeks now. I miss a few bedtime doses but I do hit the rest almost all the time. I have...

Gulping all the pills at once then eating could have been it. Morning and lunch today I did my pills two at a time and so far so good. After thinking it over a bit I walked out late last night to a Wendy's and got a small frosty. In the last 6 years that would only create one effect other...

Diana, are you teasing about the brain tumor because you can sense Im a wuss? I looked up some home remedies and one was pull hard on your tongue. I did it, it worked first try. I had them for an hour prior. It isn't air with the pills, got this second batch in the middle of a rib steak...

OK, so I am a couple weeks in following the VitaLady startup list for DS'rs with a few add ons. Everything seems to be working fine. No issues taking the pills really just a little weird at first looking at so many. I have really been worried about the bowel blockage thing with the...

Are the numbers below from the same product you saw Munchkin? Thanks. EW Vitamin D3 / Calcium Topical Patch For strong bones and a healthy immune system Supplement Facts: Calcium 1000mg (source: Oyster Shell) Vitamin D3 2000 IU (source: Cod Liver Oil Extract) Magnesium 250mg

I really appreciate it Brandy. I think I am on a decent start for now. I and using the Vita Lady basic list with extra D3 to 150,000/day. I got a lead on a Hematologist in the Seattle Area who I will follow up with soon. I leave out of state on Monday for a couple weeks then have a big...

Tell him to think of it like a Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop with a few more kid tantrums in the isles. Swing him by the magazine rack and throw in the latest Guns n Ammo or the swim suit edition into the cart so he can study up while you scrutinize the labels for carbs and sodium. My wife got...

Maybe try walking the store isles and looking at everything really close. I only have a couple stores local but I would walk them slowly and actually grab a product and look at closely. I grabbed a hamburger helper "Cheeseburger Macaroni" once and held it in my hands. I knew about that stuff...

I had similar symptoms but only for a few weeks. My sense of smell went batchit crazy after surgery. I did scrambled eggs (hard) with Canadian Bacon and cheese. I would pop microwave popcorn while I was cooking and tear the bag open beside my plate while eating. The smell made me want to eat...

"EricW take a look at the thread "We have to get organized" under this section." Thanks Razbry, I'm on it as soon as I can. Take care. EW
