Probiotic when taking iron supplements
Morning all, I previously messaged about my husbands severe rls a few weeks back and since then and with advice from this forum he started taking magnesium citrate, vit D 3 and oral iron supplements despite ferritin >100 at night. His rls symptoms have improved greatly which is so good, the PLM and rls

update on test results
hi all so the doctor rang me and told me to lower my thyroxine down to 150 mg and she said my iron levels were 10 so on the borderline, she didn’t give me any tablets for this so I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing but I’ve bought some ferogloblin capsules with folic acid vitamin b12 and iron thanks

Help with iron panel results?
Hi!Can anyone shed any light on these please? May well be being v dim, but I think Ferritin should be higher...what does just out of range Transferrin mean please? CRP is less than 4. On GP's advice I've been taking ferrous fumarate for 3 months - ferritin was 7 in May, so at least that's improving..

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.

Pulse article 11th July re draft guidelines for B12 - gp's comments. Words fail me.
Neil Banik "...We have well over 150 patients with B12 deficiency and None of them had pernicious

Worried out of my mind
I have been self injecting for several years as I was initially given B12 loading doses and 1 injection every 3 months when I was initially diagnosed with a B12 level of 153. I was then taken off injections and told that I should never have been given them in the first place and couldn’t get them reinstated

Vitamin B6 vs B6 as P5P
I am having problems finding a B complex to take. I am trying to find a supplement that only has 10mg of B6, has no iron included in the mix and no Methylfolate (folic is okay). I have one which I started to take which has P5P B6 50mg, but have been advised this is too much and should only contain

a newby to Lupus
Hello folks, I was only diagnosed with lupus a few days ago, after six months of being told I have stage4 CKD, currently at 21% .Eight years ago I was diagnosed with severe
anaemia
by my GP, which with retrospect I think was a symptom of Lupus and the cause wasn’t looked into.

Evening primrose oil and hashimotos
Hi, Does anyone know if there are any reasons to avoid taking evening primrose oil if you have hashimotos and take levothyroxine? Suffering with fibrocystic breast pain and have been told previously by GP that evening primrose oil can help with that, but wouldn't want to cause any issues to my thyroid

Prolia
I have just received an email from my GP who has arranged for a F2F appointment to see me beginning January to discuss me starting to take Prolia. My last Dexascan in 2021 did show that I have osteoporosis, and I did take Alendronic Acid for the first two years of having Polymyalgia. Since then I have

Low Iron
Hi guys! Like suggested lve done my full Iron panel! Could you please recommend the best dietary iron sources, except for liver pâté, which I'm already aware of? Also, if I'm unable to eat enough iron daily, are there any highly absorbable iron supplements you could recommend? I've been taking Spatone
