Advice on non-medication treatment of RLS required
I'm afraid I haven't posted for a long time! I am 74 and my symptoms have become more severe, causing real loss of sleep. A neurologist I saw recently wanted to put me on dopamine-agonist patches which I refused, tho' I am following her recommended course of B12 injections. I've had 9 of the 12 jabs

Advice about recent NDT thyroid blood tests and high SHBG
Hi there! Is there any connection between high SHBG and taking NDT thyroid medication? I've been feeling better than ever on my Erfa thyroid medication and I don't feel over medicated at all, but I had high SHBG. My estradiol also seems high. I've read that one reason for high SHBG can be hyperthyroidism

Blood Pressure experience and views sought
Hi allI have been feeling ropey,v lethargic and a bit slow for a few months now, despite increase in Levothyroxine. I had attributed this to constant blood loss(months) following HRT which didn't suit me,however this stopped 2 months ago. Previous blood tests showed haemoglobin on the low side so have

magnesium and implantation
Hi, I was reading the other day that magnesium supplements help with implantation but now seem to have lost that post. Can someone guide on the above and suggest any magnesium supplements they have been using? Thanks

CTCA result
I’m guessing this could just be down to image quality that my LCX isn’t visualised properly? My cardiologist said he’s personally going to take a look at the images himself and share with imaging colleagues. Anyone had anything similar from a CTCA? They were investigating me for CAD, looks unlikely

Exemestane side effects?
With a great deal of effort, I managed to get my exemestane switched back to the original generic. I still have diarrhea, but not as extreme with the other generic. My oncologist thinks it is not the exemestane that is causing it. She says it is "not usual." It says it is a side effect of unknown frequency

I talked in length worh my pharmacist, who agreed wirh my decision and recommended D3 and Calcium to start. I bought

Insomnia - Could nightime liothyronine exacerbate it?
Hi, I've just read: https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/148510755/liothyronine-brands-and-insomnia. As ever the answer seems to be "it depends"! Some better on or off lio, some better at bedtime or on waking, etc. My sleep pattern is (roughly) one half-decent sleep followed by an utterly awful

SlowDragon please comment on my situation if you're around.
Hi, I'm not able to get labs until Jan. 13, hopefully. This clinic is going under and everyone is struggling to be seen in this tiny community in the middle of nowhere. I am tired most of the time. However, I did walk the furthest today than I have in a month so maybe things are getting better

calcium
how do people know that they have calcium that's required daily 1,200mgs,I don't eat dairy, I have alpro no sugars, and alpro yoghurt no sugars, you would have to stop in all day counting calcium, measuring yoghurt a bit messy wouldn't a calcium supplement be easier.

How big are AA tablets
I am considering trying weekly alendronic acid tablets but am worried they will be too big for me to swallow since I have dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Please, what shape and how long/wide are the tablets people take? Note that there are good reasons why I should not have infusions. Meds involving

Water and magnesium
Just been to the pharmacy to fill my prescription and she was alarmed by the number of drugs I take and told me I needed to drink more water and take high dose magnesium marine (4 tablets)when I get initial signs of a migraine and that will stop them. Just like that! Well why haven't any GPs or neurologist
