When to take my folic acid?
Hi everyone - just looking for advice on when to take my folic acid tablet. After weeks of back and forth with the doctors - who said my medichecks blood results did not show a need for a supplement, they insisted on doing a blood test themselves: this is the result - 2.8 ug/L [2.0 -18.7] with notes

Found this in Waitrose (Bit pricey!) Lovely creamy Oat Kefir. Dairy, soya and gluten free... Edit ** Found a recipe they use milk grains**
£3!! and rather annoyingly really nice... heck I'm worth it! I only went in for a sneaky sushi treat 😏 Edit... actually cheaper in Waitrose as they sell the 500g where as the other only sell 250g £1.85 Oat Base (Water, Gluten-Free Oats (11%), Sunflower Oil, Salt), Coconut Cream, Stabilisers (Tapioca

cryoablation
Well the 18th of this month will be a year since the ablation and the past month has not been kind. My heart is fluttering more and more again and it's not pleasant. I took some potassium which helps a little along with my magnesium and my prescription meds. The past month I have been working more and

low ferritin high transferrin saturation
I am aware my ferritin is in the lower range and has been going downwards. However when I had full iron panel in August my transferrin saturation was just out of range in the upper level. I have read that one thing that can factor this is dehydration so I am trying to up my water intake. But does

Advice before talking to Dr
Hello all, I realise it is Sunday evening but I am seeing the dr in the morning and was hoping for advice on what to say. I spoke to the dr about ongoing symptoms of lack of energy and flu like body aches. She wanted me to have a range of blood tests before choosing a path. All blood tests have come

Magnesium dosing - less is more?
There have been tons of good posts on this subject over which versions to use, how much to dose and whether tablet or oil or bath salts etc. My minor point to add is that I have kept going over the last couple of years with magnesium glycinate and found it consistently brilliant - but as time has gone

Valium alternatives
So while in hospital for my barrage of tests etc I was taking high doses of slow K and slow Mag morning and night (magnesium and potassium) and Thiamine (high dose in the morning) and Valium in the morning and at night. The supplements I’ll get a clearer picture of from my nephrologist that originally

Scared about lung nodules
Hi, I recently had a cardiac calcium score test and that was fine but they incidentally found three nodules. The largest one was 7.8 mm and. I was never a smoker but I'm terrified about what this means. Ive never had any lung issues but had covid a little over a month ago. I've yet to speak with my

Update on Root Canal
It's done. It was fairly quick but a bit emotional. Steroids I suspect but the needle going into the front near my nose.......WOW even after I had some happy gas, it was still pretty awful. I was shaking and I felt like my heart was pounding 90 miles an hour! It also brought up a few memories of my childhood

Pain Management
Hi All, My husband's pain seems to be out of control. He says he hurts everywhere all the time, but mostly his whole right side, from his shoulder, arm, wrist all the way to his toes. He uses magnesium and heat, a tens machine as well as massage, CBD and acupuncture. But nothing really helps or lasts

Iron & Magnesium
Would appreciate guidance about how and when to take iron and magnesium supplements. I take Gabapentin every night and want to ensure that I don’t do anything to interfere with its effectiveness. Any suggestions about optimal dosages for the iron and magnesium would also be helpful. Thank you.
