Ferritin Low: How much Iron do you take and what form?
Hi all, My partner has changed to NDT (Armour) from Levothyroxine. This is looking pretty good so far - however one thing we wanted to make sure we had right is his ferritin level. Last blood test this was 40, range 30-400 ug/L. His endo said that this was "fine", but we promptly ignored her and he

Do you need omeprazole when you have an hiatus hernia?
Hello all, This is a long winded post but i need to tell you it all so you get an understanding. I started with IBS problems around 5 years ago after a severe bout of food poisoning. At first it was IBSD and then gradually became IBSA. Before getting an 'official' diagnosis i had numerous blood tests

Valium follow up
So, I did end up having that procedure at the end of October and I did take the 20 mg of valium; however, I have no recollection whatsoever how it made my legs feel. Sorry. That "amnesia" leads me to believe it isn't a viable daily option for me, even if it did work.

High serum B12, but feel awful,opinions please
Serum B12 1099, max 1100 whilst supplementing. Low MCV&MCH. Was diag. with iron deficiency anaemia now just in range whilst on ferrous sulphate. If I understand correctly pernicious anaemia would give High MCV & MCH. Any suggestions please as to what could be going on here or am I clutching at straws

Is it safe to take hyaluronic acid tablets when you have Hashimotos?
I have constant neck/shoulder pain and stiffness and want to take Hyaluronic acid to try and help with that. However, I have read that in low thyroid states there is a build-up of the stuff which causes fluid build up and hence even more discomfort. Anyone using it found that it helps? I am on Erfa and

Unrelated: valium
Anyone have any experience with 20 mg of valium? If so, how did it make you feel? And did it have any effect on your rls? I'm having a minor procedure at the end of the month. Instead of putting me out, they're using local anesthesia for the pain and valium for my nerves. I'm worried all the valium

Problems chewing food and swallowing
My husband had 3 trips to the ER from "aspiration pneumonia" which resulted in a barium swallow test, and swallowing strategies to help him swallow without choking. He should have addressed the chewing issues a year or so ago because he has lost 50 lbs from not wanting to eat. His doctors all noticed
