Ferritin and hair loss
Hi, Ferritin is 42 ug/l which is in the normal range. However, my hair has been falling out and I have read that this can happen if your ferritin falls below 50ug/l. My iron however seems the high end of normal. I will post all of my latest iron results below. Is it worth me supplementing as everything

Coffee & caffeine: can the benefits of coffee be replicated without coffee?
Coffee is said to increase cortisol. Caffeine is said to increase anxiety. I need to reduce both but I drink coffee daily for its neuro protective benefits. Can I finally say goodbye to coffee and replicate these benefits via a different means? I’m revisiting this subject because I’m really tired

ICU intensive care/Covid and Osteoporosis
Hello, this is a bit of a left field one, and it has come as a complete shock, but on top of all my other post-covid pneumonitis debilitations I have now been diagnosed with osteoporosis. It seems some of the bones in my spine are not what they should be and are pinching nerves, and this is contributing

W.H.O. Osteoporosis treatment levels graph?
Hi folks, I'm querying something my GP told me during a telephone appointment about my T scores. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2009 and treated with Strontium Ranelate until they were taken away from me in 2016 because of heart attack risks, length of time I'd been on them. But nothing was prescribed
