High Dose Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) and Hashimoto's?
Update 01/22/2023: I just learned there is an increased risk of diabetes on niacin therapy: https://heart.bmj.com/content/102/3/198 This study was based on people taking Niacin for cardiovascular reasons, which I think would be dosed at 500 to 6000 mg a day: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements

Iron Infusion in the U.S.
Hello wise RLS colleagues!Has anyone had Medicare pay for an iron infusion for their RLS? I meet the RLS guidelines for iron infusion, but I have been told that Medicare will not cover it because I am not anemic. If it was covered, can you share with me what code was used? I have had RLS for 20 years

Protein deficiency and B12?
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency with neural symptoms in the spring of 2021. After bouncing around in treatment that I later learned was appropriate for hematologic symptoms, in August of 2021 I began injecting cyanocobalamin daily, and have continued since. Some symptoms improved, others did not,

Continuous never ending onslaught - still trying to be happy happy positive but 🤷♀️
Been sick this time for 9 months, 2cardioversions, 3rd ablation 5wks ago. Had a few complications and still have the asthma I left hospital with. Until yesterday I’d been NSR but the asthma is not letting up. The inhalers, steroids etc have put the heart rate up to continuous 100-117 which is now exhausting

Treating anaemia alongside thyroid medication
Having been on T3 only for about 8 months, I have made some massive strides in terms of my general health. Most of the symptoms that had me at my absolute lowest ebb, have gone. However, if one remains it is a general feeling of weakness. I used to weight lift 4 - 5 times a week before thyroid illness

Pneumonia update
So have been on antibiotics for two weeks and have been resting...as best I can. At weekend I felt worse again. Had a routine rheumy appointment Monday morning. (New consultant, not been seen by any consultant in 18mths ish). He obviously knew I'd had problems, first he says you don't look very well

how much gentle iron?
what dose should i start on… i have bought iron bisglycinate 20 mg. But have been recommended 320 mcg ferrous sulphate. So very confused at the different levels. How do these figures relate to each other? And do you have to take gentle iron on an empty stomach? The bottle says to take with food. Any

It Never Rains
What an absolute few months I've had. Have been on a constant heavy period, where I'm losing blood clots for the past 5 months, plus having really bad issues with breathing, which added to all my comorbidities is an absolute bugger. Due for a chest x-ray and an ultrasound this week. Then to top it all

Can anyone recommend a good private pernicious anemia doctor anywhere in Scotland? Two NHS GPs ignored my symptoms they don't listen
Hello, I am desperately looking for a doctor who is competent about vitamin B12 deficiency and/or pernicious anemia. I am positive to gastric parietal cell antibodies, my B12 levels are 444 (should be between 200-883) so nobody takes me seriously because it's not low. GPs won't even consider injections
