hashimotos and hypo/hyperparathyrodism
I also have a diagnosis of pernicious
anaemia
which can also cause hypo/hyperparathyroidism. I do not believe a GP would have enough knowledge in this field to know what tests to request.

Iron Levels
I am a 74-year-old woman living in New Zealand. I was on Ropinirole for restless legs for approximately 3 years. Augmentation set in and I saw his forum went to my doctor who has changed my medication to Pregabalin. Currently on 50mg per day as I weaned off Ropinirole (completely weaned off for 3 nights

Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious
anaemia
and am getting B12 injections off the GP but am supplementing with injections of my own as 3 monthly isn’t enough. Ferritin - 16 - have been prescribed ferrous sulphate off the GP.

NICE: Teprotumumab for treating thyroid eye disease ID 6432 - being scoped
I have just noticed a new NICE guideline has been started. Only a skeleton at present - in the guideline scoping state. It will probably be years before it is completed. It is good that it has been selected for further work but must be devastating for anyone suffering TED to see how far away this (potential

Anxiety and P.A.
I'm doing what I can to get on top of my pernicious
anaemia
, more frequent injections, iron infusion etc. Is anxiety/depression linked to P.A? Do things get better as the P.A. is treated better? I was never a person who cried. How can I nip this in the bud so I don't sink again?

How reliably does NHS retest Blood iron levels after IV Iron?
my new NHS gastroenterologist ordered my iron infusion when my GP alerted her to what they are calling complex iron deficiency blood test results, some longstanding. I was given Ferinject on April 11th. The infusion appointment letter says: the physician who is looking after you may follow up with

So many supplements!
I take so many supplements now that sometimes i feel like i'm going to rattle! 😂 I keep adding more and more so i wanted to check that i'm not messing up with timings and supplements taken together. The timings of the ones i take during the day are because of my breaks at work, so i tend to try and

Polyneuropathy.
I treat my polyneuropathy with B6 and B12. GracePV shared their experience with B6, B12 nd B1. This inspired me to revisit my self treatment of my polyneuropathy. I came across information about Benfotiamine which is similar to Thiamine Hydrochloride and Thiamine Nitrate. There are indications

B12 or folic acid first?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with B12 and folate deficiency, The likely cause is poor diet so I’m happy not to pursue injections at this stage. Her GP has prescribed B12 and 5mg folic acid, both in tablet form. Please can anyone confirm which she should take first and for how long before

I had an unpleasant experience at my very recently previous practice. I’ve been back in the UK for five years and only used the practice a handful of times. I had emergency surgery recently and have just had a crash course in how the NHS operates.! Am I being too cynical? and have I got most of the

First venesection done!
Today was "just" half a pint, to get him started as some people can end up with a form of
anaemia
if the blood is removed too fast. The treatment was over in 5 minutes, the waiting around afterwards for 2 lots of observations took far longer!So this is my gentle nudge to you all.
