A night in the life of RLS
Hi All Just wanted to post an update following all of the helpful comments: Contacted pain clinic about referral to neurology- that has been actioned but will take time. GP has issued blood tests to check ferritin - last reading was 117 in March. I have increased Pregabalin to 100mg with iron supplement

Thyroid blood test and splitting T3
I have a thyroid blood test on Thursday AM and am taking T3. I know I split the dose the day before but am currently on 15mcg (so 3/4 of a tablet). Am I ok to take half (10mcg) and then a quarter (5mcg) 8-12 hours before? Splitting in half will be tricky. Many thanks in advance!

Ovulation strips exp 02/23 and 10/23
So, I know I’m the lunatic that tested with a very out of date pregnancy test not so long ago… which tbf gave an accurate BFN 🙁 I am trying modified natural for my next FET and am waiting for my next period to start using ovulation tests on day 8 of my cycle. I’m nervous using my natural cycle, but

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

Low ferritin
I was diagnosed with PV in November 2020. Initially, I had a few phlebotomies to reduce my hematocrit but thankfully I've passed my last three blood tests and haven't had one since January 2023. I take aspirin, a spoonful of cod liver oil and half a tin of grapefruit every day to keep my haematocrit

bleeding coming of prostap
can anyone help…. so I stopped taking prostap in October (last injection end of October) and had no period yet but I did have some signs of ovulation! 2 weeks ago I got a positive pregnancy test but since then have done several tests and they have all been negative so I am assuming it’s a false positive

blood test
The results are in. I don’t know what to think of this months appointment and I’m confused and anxious but also a bit relived that it’s over. My husbands GFR was at 39 today, which has been the pretty steady number we’ve been trending towards. He had an Albumin/creatine urine test and the results were

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

Any suggestions please.
Hello. I wonder if you would be kind enough to give me your views on my latest results please. I currently take 100mcg thyroxine at bedtime. My GP withdrew my T3 ( 5mcg) around 5 years ago. Apparently it doesn't work and was too expensive. I feel dreadful. I'm underweight with a BMI of 18 and on top
