  1. Carnivore Diet

    It's not just weight. Carnivore diet seems to improve blood chemistry and inflammation in some cases.

  2. Carnivore Diet

    I dunno about them - my tapeworm wrote my 11:42 posting.

  3. Carnivore Diet

    I was on the brink of adopting a carnivore-like diet, and my doctor was moderately supportive. He asked me to "do him a favor" first, and have a full blood panel done. As some of you maybe know, I had a major health issue a couple years ago, so I was due a blood panel anyway, so we ran that as a...

  4. For all us diabetics out there.

    I should have my Libre 3 'scrip filled in the next day or so. It'll let me test my hypothesis that I can control my blood glucose level by sheer willpower alone.

  5. For all us diabetics out there.

    My last A1C test was back down at 5.4 two months ago, so it looks like I'm back within spitting distance of "Non-diabetic". In my case it took a combination of Jardiance, Metformin and a couple of other medications, which I'm still on, but hope to phase out within the next six months. As...

  6. Very sharp pain in ankle

    You're just wearing out, man.

  7. Very sharp pain in ankle

    If it's not actually in the joint itself, it's not likely to be gout.

  8. FYI fail proof way to swallow your pills without them getting stuck in your throat

    Is it to the left if you're in the Southern hemisphere?

  9. Going blind, selling all my guns.

    If you work for a medium- to large- firm, just call someone within your firm and ask them to confirm that you're covered for pre-existing vision conditions. Every medical plan is different, so they'll probably have a detailed guide of what is covered (on which plan, if your company offers a...

  10. Well, I've got diabetes now it would seem.

    Most doctors are basically mechanics. A lot of biological mechanisms are well described, but not well understood. Their interactions are often very poorly understood. This doesn't mean that doctors are ncessarily bad people, they're just not as knowledgable as they'd like you to believe.

  11. Well, I've got diabetes now it would seem.

    If you can start reducing your calorie intake and doing some of the things that'll get your A1C down below 5.7, you'll start to have options that include getting off metformin.

  12. Well, I've got diabetes now it would seem.

    I was put on metformin about a year ago - 2000mg/day. No side effects that I noticed. After 3 months, cut it back to 1000mg/day - no side effects other than MAYBE you'll be peeing a bit more often. That being said, I'm on so many other pills, it could be one of the other ones.

  13. Hard of hearing?

  14. So up to 6'2" 340 now. Ordered the Nutrisystem 7 day a week plan (Didn't work. I couldn't stick to it.)

    I start my Hollywood Diet on Friday (first dose of Ozempic)

  15. Seizures

    Nice to see you found your old avatar too!

  16. Seizures

    Depends on whether that 'sammich' is made with carbs.

  17. Seizures

    Getting and staying in ketosis is HARD, but worth the effort.

  18. Covid After Affects

    I've had it 3 times. Fever etc lasted a few days except for third case last May which took a bit longer to recover. Some other symptoms haven't subsided yet (lost the sense of smell and taste for a while). The doctors still don't know with absolute confidence what the whole raft of symptoms of...
  19.

    How many of us are awake 1a-5a?

    Not retired, but tend to be a night owl. Usually around until about 2AM.

  20. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE

    The lower number is your base pressure (diastolic). The old school way to deal with this was to take diuretics, but that's not a simple option and deliberately reducing your fluid intake is a bad idea. As has already been said, more exercise won't hurt. Lose some weight if you're not already a...
