Clonazepam instead of Pregabalin?
I have just had a telephone appointment with a Neurologist which lasted all of 90 seconds, part of which he spent looking through my notes and came to the conclusion that I should try Clonazepam instead of Pregabalin for 6 months. He wasn't interested in listening to anything I had to say about iron

New blood results - advice on whether to speak to GP?
Good afternoon everyone, I posted back in November (https://healthunlocked.com/thyroiduk/posts/150229278/blood-results-low-ft4-normal-tsh-warrants-gp-review) and received some really helpful advice, so I thought I’d post again for your opinions with some new blood results. Blood test taken at 08:50

B12 deficiency genetic? Is it PA?
Over the years I have never had a B12 test over 250, was finally sent to hematologist when it got to 155. I have been folate deficient and ferritin deficient (am now on shots and had iron infusions). For the last two years I have been tested and tested for everything under the sun to find a cause for

Where can I get my mineral levels tested?
I test bloods, including vitamins and iron, regularly. But I have no idea what my zinc and magnesium etc. levels are. Is there a home test kit I can use that doesn't cost the earth?

Gluten/Dairy restriction, can it really affect your blood results in a short time?
Hi, I have posted here before about levels/symptoms. But I wanted to ask about elimination diets, particularly gluten and dairy and if it makes significant changes to one's blood tests. I did an elimination diet in October, cutting out nightshades, nuts, soy along with dairy and gluten. I reintroduced

Would t3 benefit me? Latest bloods
hi, I have hashinotos and take 125mcg of thyroxine. I don’t feel great. I’ve just started a gluten free diet and take iron and folate as both were low. I’ve been taking them for 8 weeks and have just had the levels tested so can share all those results when I have them. I wondered if t3 may help me

Influences of sleep and the circadian rhythm on iron-status indices
I suspect few, if any, of us have ever really thought about iron tests varying by time of day. However much we understand with regard to thyroid, somehow I think most of us imagine iron as being more "bucket chemistry". But this paper might force us to re-assess! [i]

NDT toleration
Hello everybody, I would like to ask if there is anobody who has problem with NDT. My adrenals/iron are ok but NDT (just 1/2 grain) makes me anxious,heart palpitations,sleep issues. But on this amout of NDT I am not hyper. What can be problem? It is worth to try syntetic FT4 only or FT3 only? Thank you

Iron every or ever other night?
My RLS was getting so much better I'd managed to get down to just 3 Gabapentin (900mg) at night. However, recently I've had to go right up to 8 (2400mg) which leaves me literally reeling in the morning. I'm loathe to increase my iron too much, I hate the way it messes up my guts, but I'm now considering

Potential adverse effects of long-term venesection used to treat PV.
I got curious after watching the Richard Silver presentation that was recently posted on the forum. Dr. Silver quoted some potential adverse effects from long-term use of venesection (AKA phlebotomy) to manage PV. I had seen those findings previously in the literature. I have also experienced some

Long term plan
If you can manage to get down to a very low dose of pramipexole and get pregabalin to help you through, what is the long term plan? How long can you stay on pregabalin? How long do you go on taking iron? Reduce dose? Would be grateful for any advice. Les
