off Pramipexole
It took me 6 months to come off Pramipexole very slowly! Breast cancer interrupted things and I paused my reduction programme whilst I had a mastectomy. After surgery I had some respite from my restless legs as my ferretin levels increased which is normal after surgery. They are dropping back now.

Hi fellow suffererers, I've just been reading the posts re.Iron supplements. I take two Gentle Iron 20mg every other night, I notice that the first ingredient listed on the bottle is a Bulking Agent(Microcrystalline Cellulose),I was wondering if I can purchase a Gentle Iron without any Bulking Agent,

Disrupted sleep with increased T4
Hello dear Thyroid UK, I had thyroid cancer in August 2021 with part of my thyroid and a parathyroid removed. Since then, I've been trying to get an ideal dose of Levothyroxine T4. I did take a very low dose of T3 (Cytomel) briefly. I felt great alert-wise but experienced headaches, nausea and anxiety

Iron supplements dosage
Is 20mg of gentle iron each night enough? It worked well the first night. What a wonderful relief it was. The second night it did work within 70 mins but returned within 3 hours.. I wonder why it didn't last as long? Would a slow release be better, like ferrous sulphate 325mg? Or will it need to be

Before, my ferritin levels were about 13- whereas ya'll know that they should be at least 75 for people with our syndrome. When my iron was so low, nothing worked- no matter how much
