How can i fix anxiety ?
I can't get rid of anxiety, other than antidepressants(ssri) ??? I've been on cipralex for a while and I don't want to go back on it, it has too many side effects. Although I take t3 and levo but I still have anxiety and visual disturbance. t3 helped me a lot but I don't get rid of anxiety.My doctor

New Diagnostic Methods for PA
I found this online today here, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK540989/ It describes new methods of diagnosing PA. It looks interesting. Alternative and new approaches to the diagnosis of PA are under evaluation. One of these is a newer propriety cobalamin absorption test, which has its basis

Why is this? Sleep related.

Happy New Year š„³ back from hospital!
Happy New Year to all here! Iāve been back in hospital. Ever since my Ablation in October Iāve had this odd thing: A sudden, sharp stabbing/ burning pain in my heart area, goes as quick as it comes. Then it happens practically every few minutes or so. It had been lasting a day or so. This time on 30th

Left pain by ribs
Hi all! I have been diagnosed with IBS since about 15 and I am now 33. The past 18 months I have terrible pain in my left side about half way up my ribs. It feels like stitch and sometimes it really catches my breath. I have it everyday and particularly at night when in bed. I have recently been hospital

Treatment for dry, peeling lips
What do you use for Sjogrens dry, peeling lips? I have had lupus for 30 years, and a variety of dry eye and salivary gland issues, that have at times been severe. Been treated for both. Also have dry sinus, and sleep apnea. Even if I use items to prevent mouth breathing during sleeps, lips still

Hi all. I have had pernicious anaemia for many years and like many people here, I have struggled with the frequency of injections. To begin with 12 weeks seemed OK, but over the years this was failing to last. My GP put it down to 10 weeks which helped but I was still struggling towards the end so I

Iron supplementation - ferric EDTA
Iāve started researching which form of Iron is best to take but would appreciate anyone who is able to forward any studies theyāve come across. Anything Iāve started to read has allowed no further access to information. Wanting to try the Better You Iron 10 spray (contains ferric EDTA) as tablets

B12, Folate & Iron
My B12 was 375 (211-911) & folate 8.6 (5.4-20.0). Been having symptoms so am trying to raise these levels. Taking B12 1000ug sublingual & a B complex. Apparently whilst raising B12 levels due to the increasing production of red blood cells your iron/ferritin levels can drop? If we need to take iron supplements

Intrinsic factor test
Hey guys, I am getting the intrinsic factor test tomorrow which my doctor highlighted as an unreliable test but managed to convince him to let me have it regardless ! Anyway, I have taken a single b12 supplement yesterday evening. This is probably a dumb question, but will this impact the test? Thank
