Bad batch of B12
Hi I'm just adding to the posts about bad batches of B12 - there's been a couple in the last month. I have self-injected since 2020 - originally every other day, increased to every day after having Covid in July 2021. Taking control has felt miraculous as I have been able to return to full-time

Beware of Lansoprazole
I have taken this drug for years for acid reflux. Last year, during a medical check, it was found that my blood count was so low it was almost at needing a transfusion level. I was put on Ferrous Fumarate which brought my level up but my ferritin level is still low. I had an endoscopy and it was discovered

Does anyone have any direct experience of Targinact?
Hi Everyone, this is my first post but I've been reading everything on this forum for a while now. I'm in real trouble with augmentation after taking ropinirole for 11 years. I successfully tapered off and was completely free of it by April 2023, however the RLS remained severe, and in October I decided

I’m 50 yr old female with issues, RLS, Hashimotos, Autoimmune Atrophic Chronic Gastritis, intestinal Metaplasia, Iron Deficiency Anemia w/transfusions, B12 deficiency, and now this horrible hip and joint pain.

Effect of thyroid meds on adrenals
I have been on levothyroxine for 2 years, numbers were good but wasn't converting well so I added a bit of Cytomel, 3 mcg. I felt ok, but not great. I tried to increase the Cytomel dose to 5 mcg but it made me sleepy all day. I finally lost weight and my face looked really good. Maybe I should have continued

T3 (Cytomel): How would you fit it in these results? Or would you? And all the mistakes I have made on this journey
Latest results (overjoyed to be finally here) - TSH .74 (.32 to 4) T4 14 (9 to 19) T3 4.2 (2.6 to 5.8) I am on 262.5 mcg levothyroxine (Note: In 50s so 50×5 & 1/4 of a 50) I feel what I would deem pleasantly okay. Always have felt the best on NDT, but I needed so much I could no longer afford it. And

Just recived letter of endo appointment 🤔
Hi everyone ❤️... Just recived the letter that tells you the surgery are referring you to an endocrinologist at Newcastle, no idea at the moment who that is.But I've popped a few pointers to discuss with them, mainly the awful symptoms on both the T4, T3. We I hope, will probably discuss alternative

Need advice
Been feeling tired/exhausted for years. Weight gain, cold all the time. High cholesterol - being treated. Palpitations. A lot of these symptoms I have read can be due to thyroid problems. Had a private blood test done. Results are: TSH 3.71/ Free T4 14.3/ Free T3 4.5. I know these are within range but
