RLS in MS patients
https://www.msard-journal.com/article/S2211-0348(23)00515-1/fulltext A study from Saudi Arabia shows that RLS affects around 30% of the MS patients in the Study. This reflects other studies on MS. I've asked whether the study participants were taking any medication for their RLS, as that would affect

Confused about latest blood tests - why are FT4 and FT3 rising, but I still feel awful and I'm undiagnosed and not on any meds?
Sorry for the super long post.... I would very much appreciate the help of you wonderful people on this forum. I am a bit confused with my latest blood test results that I just received yesterday, and am hoping that you will be able to help me understand what's going on. I'll try to keep it brief, while

Medication for subclinical hypothyroidism
Hi everyone, I've posted here before regarding subclinical hypothyroidism, not sure what is causing it. I've ruled out celiac disease, I'm trying to take iron and b12 everyday, but still my tsh is consistently high. My GP has agreed to trial 25mg levothyroxine. I'm really worried after reading how

Question on NHS Coverage.
If a person in the UK hires a physician say at the Iron Clinic in Cambridge can that physician order tests and those tests are covered by NHS?

Just a little rant
One thing I have learned since being diagnosed with Osteo is that this medical condition is a money maker for big pharma. I would encourage everyone to look up publication on actual studies done around the world with men and women with osteo and what they were given naturally along with calcium supplementation

How to prepare for my thyroid test?
Hi all, I’m on the following routine and wondered what I should do with my thyroid medication the day before the test: First dose: 3am - 125mcg Levo, 5mcg - T3 Second dose: 11am - 2.5mcg T3 I will do the test around 8am ensuring I’ve only had water. So should I NOT take the 11am T3 dose the day

stop wasting TIME , MONEY and SUFFERING Use iron infusions first line for those whose ferritin is suitable
Doctors please top wasting time , money and suffering… Use iron infusions first line for those whose ferritin is = or >75ug/L (plus other parameters are ok TSATs etc TIME because they relatively quickly find out who are the 60% ‘iron responders’. If you are one, then great, get on with iron plus any

New blood test results, low vitamins, advice please
i test every 6 months. I started taking Armour 1/4 grain in May because my consultant (listed in Thyroid UK directory) thought my FT3 was low in range. I had to change to Thyreogland (from a pharmacy in Munich) because i can’t get Armour delivered to France post-Brexit. I take Thyreogland twice a day
