I’m 72 & in general good health (I think) except for Osteopenia and that I inherited Restless Legs from my mum. I started on .25mg Ropinirole 7 years ago which was like magic but it’s slowly increased to 3x.25mg per night. Perhaps not a big dose but I learned via this site it’s best to switch from Ropinirole

How is PA diagnosed?
How is PA diagnosed? How do we know if we have it?? I don’t think I have it but I do need to keep my ferritin in check due to absorption issues because of my Hashimotos…

Timings of NDT and iron supplements
Hi all, I'm struggling to maintain ferritin levels whilst also trying to adhere to the timings of iron supplements around my NDT and other vitamins. My ferritin is rarely higher than 20s (in the last ten years the highest it has been was 52 just once). I've been on NDT for a year and am gradually

Ferritin and depression anxiety!
Does anyone have any experience or opinions on the link between low ferritin and depression and anxiety! It seems I have had my thyroid levels optimal for a while now… me being me thought that because I had raise my ferritin from 40 to 80 that it would stay there with a measly maintenance dose of 20mg

Maltofer
Hi -- just curious if anyone is using Maltofer to raise their ferritin? It's chief benefit is that it has fewer gastrointestinal side effects than the ferrous iron salts. Thanks.

NAC with ferritin deficiency or PA
Hi all. Just thought I’d pop in and ask my new friends if they know of any reason NAC shouldn’t be taken with iron tablets or B12, or whether NAC could actually have a negative effect on ferritin/B12 levels. Can’t find any info on this, so here I am 😊 I am awaiting latest blood results, so don’t

Heartened to know I am not alone in the struggles caused by pramipexole
I have had RLS and PLMD as long as I can remember. I’m sure all of those nights I struggled with symptoms as a child that were brushed off as growing pains…RLS. My mom suffers mildly. Unfortunately, both of my daughters also have many challenges that began as teens. What I’ve been through is so complex

Bakers cysts
Hi, does anyone have or have knowledge on bakers cysts behind knees? I haven't been diagnosed with them but my own googling of symptoms and images of them look exactly like my knees look like. Swollen lumps behind knees, sore to touch, stiff, limited movement. I'm getting bloods done tomorrow testing

What deficiencies could B12 injection cause?
Some of you might remember me writing about how, since moving to Pascoe vials from Dr Myhill's multi use vial, I've been experiencing whole of body mini vibrations / electricity / agitation. It's particularly bad in the night and I wake with it. I had worked out that it's tolerable by reducing injection

Should I be asking for an increase in Levo?
I have an appt with my endo on Thursday to discuss my latest results and those from last August and April when I was taking different amounts of levo. I always follow the suggested procedure of stopping Vit B complex a week before, early blood test and not taking levo for 24 hours. My most recent
