Reasonable Adjustment and wellbeing at work
For anyone else struggling in the workplace with hypothyroidism and multiple symptoms. I realise I’ve been very lucky, I do worry about being labelled but my only other option would be to reduce my hours which I can’t afford. I’m a teacher in an FE college, almost full time (0.92). A couple of weeks

Anti depressants and RLS
Hi fellow sufferers. I weaned myself off of Sertraline in the summer as partly responsible for worsening my severe RLS. And I had an iron infusion in August. For the last 4-5 weeks I have been symptom free of RLS, though still on 50mg pregabalin. But I find myself at an all time low for other reasons

nerve conduction test
We had a good open discussion on pernicious
anaemia
patients vs nerve results, and he said that my case is unusual as pernicious
anaemia
patients tend to have depressed nerve speed on symmetrical sides of the body.. mine shows one side.

anaemia
My consultant today told me I’m very anaemic and was surprised my gp hasn’t put me on medicine for it. I have methotrexate tablets during the week and because of that I have to take folic acid- iron tablets. So I don’t know really know what exactly the consultant it’s going to do writing to my gp. I

Advice please! (part 2)
I have been diagnosed with
anaemia
and vit D deficiency at different times, and tested for coeliac but no links have ever been made with hypothyroidism! I have had some benefits from going gluten free, but still have some stomach pains/digestive issues, joint stiffness, fatigue and sleep problems.

B-12 is Low (398), Folate is High, HCY is 55.6, uMMA is 1.7 , vitamin D and C and Magnesium are Low, all B vitamins are low.
Why is the GP not taking my labs seriously, I've been taking methylcobalamin tablets for a year and just began 5-MTHF because of Folate Deficiency found in my DNA, GP declined to do a MMA Blood serum test, I have been allergic to milk and beef since birth, peanuts followed with life threatening allergies

This might be of interest for anyone who struggles to raise their iron levels or is frequently anaemic or nearly anaemic
Further research is needed to understand the roles of individual and combined vitamin deficiencies on
anaemia
to design appropriate micronutrient interventions to prevent

Neuropathy and the Cold weather
If only there was a cure to reverse the damage caused by B12 deficiency which I'm sure was caused by Metformin tablets given to me for type 2 diabetes 🤔 I have looked into the side effects of this drug and on the Drug makers website it clearly states that this drug can cause Pernicious

Urine Calcium Test tips?
As my GP has me down as a hypochondriac malingerer I need some evidence to force testing of calcium properly. I can’t afford a £150 6 hour round trip London clinic test so some internet research led me to a £25 set of 10 dipsticks. I’m ready for the ‘waste of time’ responses and see an endo responses

Diagnosed with b12 deficiency not pernicious anemia so far.
Wondering if anyone suspects covid vaccine and b12 deficiency. I have tinnitus b12. speech impairment headaches last about 2 minutes also transulent zig zags over my eyes again lasts 2 minutes. Taking b12 injections monthly. Is this enough given my symptoms. Would like to hear if others have my symptoms

Advice on current symptoms
I have been taking 50mg and 75mg levothyroxin on alternate days and would say I haven’t felt particularly well for a long time - suffering hair loss,
anaemia
, fatigue and muscle stiffness as well as memory impairment. In the past couple of years digestive issues have become a significant issue.

Which iron supplement is the best and what dose?
Hi there, having found this forum two weeks ago, am fascinated by everything I am finding out about this damn RLS!

Deep Brain Stimulation
Study from China on Parkinson's patients with RLS showed Deep Brain Stimulation reduced RLS & helped sleep.I certainly wouldn't consider it. Seems too extreme but if the Parkinson's patients are having the treatment to help tremor, it would be sensible to see if stimulation in another area relieves RLS

High Bilirubin, Not Gilbert's
In August 2021, aged 36, I started panicking about this and went through a series of LFTs and CBCs, all of which showed everything fine (apart from occasional, mild
anaemia
) and high bilirubin. The bilirubin level has wobbled between 17-47 umol/L (I think that's 0.99-2.75mg/dL on the US scale).

can you have normal iron cells and not megablastic and still have pernicious anemia ?
I am curious to know if megablastic anemia whereby the bloodcells are larger in shape has to be present in PA patient. And my second question would be, wouldn’t one know at birth of the shape of their bloodcells were bigger than usual of different enough to suspect PA? Excuse my ignorance but I’m trying

Seeking info about impact of B12 deficiency in GI and digestion and changes in GI symptoms post B12 deficiency treatment
The
anaemia
consultant I seen on Friday recommended seeing a functional GI doc in 3 months time as he suggested the root cause of my 'non-autoimmune functional B12 deficiency' is due to a functional GI issue, which I would agree with.

Hyperparathyroidism
Hi there! I have been diagnosed as having possible primary hyperparathyroidism. I am a shocked that there is not a group for this disease. Can anyone help with this? So many people think I have something wrong with my thyroid when I say I have it, when in fact it is to do with the parathyroid glands
