GERD (acid reflux) and Hypothyroidism
Hi, 28 years ago, i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, following a very bad sore throat (I still remember the pain in my throat!). Benign nodules that have now disappeared. On Levothyroxine 75 since then. 2 weeks ago, I had a routine blood test showing that my TSH is 5.36 (normal range is 0.27 to 4.2

Time to come off Ropinerole 4 years after being on Pramepexole 7 years. What else can I try????
I've been on these and both caused augmentation and with both was increased to maximum dose yet still had restless legs causing sleepless nights, anxiety and depression.Before I went onto medication I found out I was severely anaemic, I don't know how it happened to me as I was previously fit and healthy

Any red flags in these results or am I barking up wrong tree?
Hello everyone, I am 52 and on HRT (as have been post menopausal for 2 years now). I have the Mirena fitted and am currently on 3 pumps oestrogen. My issue is that I am extremely fatigued and struggling to cope with the activities of a normal day and have been feeling this way for several months. Due

Latest Iron Panel Results - advice
Dear all, I’d be really grateful if anyone who knows about this could advise on my iron panel tests above? Good news is my ferritin has gone up from 65 through 85 to 105 and still taking it (not that it’s made any difference so far!). Thank you so much. X

Iron Deficiency
Are many people diagnosed with PV Iron deficient at the time of diagnosis? I’ve read on the internet that almost everyone with PV is iron deficient at time of diagnosis (hence the low ferritin) and that phlebotomy makes the iron deficiency worse. My heam told me I was iron deficient before even starting

Is there any point me testing FT3 levels 4 hours after dosing,ie peak T3 to satisfy neg Endo that im not overdosing?
Hi Everyone, Ie if 4 hrs in and my T3 is below 6.8 NHS range ,then I am not overmedicated am I ? Its true I havnt found my sweet spot, and my TSH is just below NHS range. at 0.08. But my T4 is 15.3 and T3 5.8 ,both in NHS range , so how can that be overmedicated if these two are 'in the accepted range

Antihistamine and probiotics
I have had long covid for 16 months now, and in the absence of any treatments on the horizon am thinking of trying antihistamine tablets and/or probiotic supplements. My RLS is currently much more controlled than it was, after iron infusion and am taking Gabapentin 400 mg- though insomnia still bad

Targinact
I have had RLS for over 20 years and have tried most medications, the latest being Pregabalin, which was good but is now not working so well. I therefore asked my GP if I could try Targinact as I read this is now licensed for RLS. He has agreed and I just need to taper Pregabalin. Can anyone

My Efforts to Educate the Scientific Community

The bulk of the article follows: The medical community is generally unaware of the benefit of a low oxalate diet for treatment of RLS. In 2015, after 5 years of closely

Very low ferritin with top of range haemoglobin can you then safely supplement iron to get ferritin up?
hi last iron haemoglobin was 15.7 top range of 15 and ferritin was 22 (as usual although that’s quite good for me! Range 15- 200(?)). I was beginning to get that rubbish short of breath way I do when ferritin goes very low (been at 3 few years ago). TSH was jumping about a bit and I don’t have other

which way to go (severe RLS)
Dear members, I am here trying to help my mother, whose RLS is poorly controlled these days. Just some background info: in 2021 she was put on Pramipexole, first just 0.125 mg was controlling her symptoms well, but it only lasted for half a year maybe. So her current dose is 0.375, which she splits

Taking Ferrous Sulphate Exhausts Me, Any Alternatives?
Hi All, In February 2023 I requested a blood test from my GP as I felt generally awful. I had muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability, hair loss, overall skin sensitivity and moderate acne that scarred. I was also losing my evenings as my body was so tired, I’d nap for hours

My anxiety is stopping me from doing something that will help me. How do I power on through this?
I have chronically low iron, my Dr has prescribed a hormonal pill and an iron transfusion. Two things that terrify me for different reasons. I want to be able to go with the flow, but I can’t. I’ve asked about alternatives, this is my only option left. I’ve used my alternatives already. I am very much
