Buprenorphine transition from patch to tablets
Hey Everyone With the help of a 20 mg 7 day Buprenorphine patch, I have been free of any dopamine agonist for almost 3 months. But as we all know, the patch does not last 7 days, 5 if you are lucky. Consequently, I change it every 5 days and have had pretty good results. Initially, I would have moderate

Is carvedilol making you cold?
I recently had my Carvedilol increased to 6.25mg twice a day. Lately, I am freezing to the bone. I turn my heating up and up and am still cold when everyone else says its like a sauna. I just wondered if anyone else has this? It could also be my recent addition of diabetes medication, Sitagliptin. Never

Just having a bad day
April hasn't been a good month for me and synotoms. Been on only 50mcg levo since end of September. Only JUST this week got an increase to 75 thanks to the private bloods I did due to recommendations on this site. First I caught a sinus cold at the start of Easter break, which triggered a flare up

A victory with my NHS GP! 🥳
I just wanted to share my joy that I've won my battle with my local surgery to get my EOD B12 injections on NHS prescription! After complaining in a persistent and factual manner about their handling of my health issues, I asked for them to provide injectable B12 over a pill that my stomach can't absorb

UPDATE on Iron and Vitamin D
I just talked to my Doctor and he is putting me on 50,000 1 tablet a week vitamin D and has put me in for Iron infusion. I was surprised he said that I was iron deficient (not Anemic) but this is going in the wrong direction and is getting out of control and I need my iron to be closer to 100 (shocked

Iron Supplement
Hello, I recently started taking iron supplements as my level was 90 and it's advised should be over 100. I have now had black diarrhea for three weeks and the worst stomach acid. I have now stopped the iron supplements. Does anyone have any advice on what my next step should be. I have not spoken to

Elevated liver enzymes
Hi, my daughter has Graves and her latest blood test shows elevated liver enzymes, is this because she's on carbimazole. Prior to taking carbimazole her liver function was normal.

Advice needed on iron/ferritin levels please
I'd be really grateful if anyone could advise on whether I need to be concerned about my iron/ferritin levels. I'm seeing a neurologist tomorrow and want to be well informed. I have results from my last three blood tests so hopefully that might help. Serum iron level: October 2023 - 7.7 umol/L; January

B12 Def + Porphyria possible connection!
Hello Friends, My porphyria symptoms showed up about 15 years ago when I suddenly became "allergic" to the sun. Symptoms include digestive inflammation, feelings of heat travelling up and down my legs and arms, and an emotional feeling of desperation. Since then I have pretty much kept out of the

New pernicious anaemia diagnosis
Hi, I am a 20 year old female who has recently been diagnosed with pernicious
anaemia
(around the start of April). I was experiencing extreme tingling in my hands and feet which promoted the doctors to check my B-12 levels.

anaemia and ADT
but my worry is that I am becoming anaemic with my results as below - I read somewhere that
anaemia
can be an ADT/low T problem but it isn’t usually due to low Iron - And taking iron May not be an appropriate response.

Milk thistle
Good morning, I was just wondering if anyone has tried milk thistle to try and improve cirrhosis of the liver and to add bile salts to the body?

Bad RLS.
Hi all, I've been hovering around these boards for a couple of years now but this is my first post. I am a 39 year old male. As a child and adult sometimes after walking a lot during the day I would have the urge to move my legs when I was in bed trying to sleep, it would feel like I had excess
