Hi Lorna, I punched these numbers into the IR calculator and the ratio for me came back as 31.80 where 10 and above is normal. Did I do this wrong or am I using the incorrect units or something? I

Lisa, I don't have anyone with Cushings yet, but I have read others' experience with the "pergolide veil" and I think some take the dose way down to tiny amounts and build up very slowly along with

Hi pony addict, The main thing is to look for waterproof/breathable. That way rain or snow won't soak thru and if it is a little warmer, it will breath a little. Cool fall weather may only need a

Hi everyone, I want to test Carl for Lyme disease and my vet thinks Im nuts but of course will do what I ask. Carl's insulin isnt being controlled despite all of the balancing. His ACTH done Sept 10 @
