Takes time but getting better
It is a long and often painful journey but my experience is that I/we am/are getting quite a lot back brainwise but very slowly. At the moment I'm on immune suppressants to stop my brain inflaming itself and any infection is potentially fatal. I'm also on anti-biotics to treat a water infection or UTI

Low ferritin
Hi all! I had my baby back in 2021 September. From about November I started feeling really 'not myself' I went to the doctors and was told I had iron deficiency. I was told to buy some ferrous sulfate, which i did. But they caused me to bleed from my bottom when going to the toilet. Now I am taking

Interesting article on iron, fortified foods etc

Iron Supplements for those very sensitive to gluten
Hi, I'm being prescribed iron supplement (
ferrous
sulphate
). GP assures me it is gluten free but GPs and Pharmacists don't understand gluten in ingredients. The pharmacy is not answering their phone when I call to find out the brands they have so I can do my own check.

Ropinirole Not Needed!
Long story short, spoke to another GP at my surgery (who was confused as to why I hadn't been notified & absolutely disgusted that I hadn't) who put me straight on
Ferrous
Sulphate
(210mg 3 times a day). No sooner had I started taking the iron, the RLS has completely stopped.

An update on fluoxetine withdrawal and RLS
The other change I made since last month is that I now was take
ferrous
sulphate
every other night (rather than nightly) and have slightly reduced my HRT (apart from testosterone, which I’ve kept the same) after I read that another forum user found her symptoms worsened on it.

BLOOD TEST RESULTS FROM 22/02/2022 taken at 7.45AM
Hi all, once again could you knowledgeable people please pass comment on my most recent results. Unfortunately due to dr requesting follow up test within two months the lab has rejected some of the tests, annoyingly, I wanted to know if my vitamin intake and iron tablets may have improved my ferritin

Thriva Blood test results- some help please :)
I was advised on my last post to get my bloods done again and go from there- so that's what I've done! Thriva were one of the cheaper options, but with an advanced Thyroid profile, I can highly recommend! So easy to test at home and send off, got my results back in 2 days on their app! Background: I

Epsom salt bath
I have AF and mostly controlled raised blood pressure, so my question is can I use Epsom salts to soak in a a bath? I have heard it can really help with muscular aches and pains, plus is it a way to get magnesium into the body? My lad tells me it’s also really relaxing ☺️ Thank you .
