Low iron, supplementing with 3 Arrows
Hi everyone, I posted about a week ago after having iron studies done through the NHS, it came back that I wasn’t iron deficient enough to be treated by a doctor, but my levels were definitely low enough to start treatment since I’m already experiencing symptoms and don’t want to get worse…..

Caffeine and Anxiety
I had an extra pot of coffee yesterday and noticed my anxiety was way worse than today, when I had only one cup. I did some research and see that there is a link between caffeine and anxiety/panic attacks. Does caffeine make your symptoms worse? I might have to stop consuming it altogether, or in

Belittling your Anxiety
I use to fear getting my anxiety attacks! Then something I read that has helped me over the years has been to belittle my Anxiety. Now, I have not fixed my problem but it did help. I used to hide that I had anxiety or intrusive thinking from everyone! Then I read a book that taught me to not

Fatty Liver
Hello. I have recently been diagnosed with fatty liver. I have been a heavy drinker for at least 25 years. My question is: How long will it take for my liver to recover if I abstain from alcohol completely? I understand that there is no set figure but any advice is appreciated. Thanks for your help

adult son with PTSD
My son is 28 and suffered sexual abuse at the age of 4, at the hands of his cousin who was 13 at the time. I didn’t find out about it until my son was 13. By then I was a single parent. I didn’t know what to do. Now, because I didn’t do the right thing then apparently, I am being blamed for my son -

panic attack
when I was first diagnosed with AF it was 15 years ago , I had had mitral valve repair in 2000. Effects of a bad flu and being largely ignored tipped me in to AF. It was a very scary journey then , with most doctors ((especially the women) deriding the condition as hysteria , panic attacks and middle

Fatigue
Since being diagnosed with an inflammatory disorder three years ago I have suffered with various symptoms most of which are now well controlled and stable. The severe pain in my joints and other parts of my body and the excruciatingly painful headaches thankfully seem to be kept at bay by medication
