Low UIBC result from bloodwork?
Hi, All. I had bloodwork done recently and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the low UIBC might be affecting my RLS/PLMD. Ferritin was 169 (down from very high values after a blood infusion for rls in April 2021). The UIBC was flagged as Low at 126, Iron Saturation was flagged as high: Iron 172 UIBC

Iron Deficiency Help!
Hi. Back in January I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia and was put on supplements for 3 months, and then to have a follow up blood test a month after finishing the supplements.

B2 benefits for PD
I’ve basically done this same study I’ve linked to in this post since the first of December. 50 mg of b2 every 8 hours and no red meat. The study is 30 mg dose but I can’t find it. My b2 was very low. The test was very expensive but worth it to know. However with no side effects and being very cheap

To those who replied to my post last week here is an update re my visit to the Rheumatologist today which I wasn’t looking forward to. I was seen initially by the clinical practitioner who I find easy to talk to. I explained how I have been feeling since stopping Pred in January. Fatigue, lightheaded

Can NDT make Hashimoto's worst?
Hello All, I've been struggling to work out my thyroxine dose for 4-5 months (raised TSH of 6, 30% T3 level, ), and things are not getting any better. Actually, getting worst - sleep problems, nightmares, anxiety, low appetite, a lot of fatigue, I struggle function during the day. I've tried endless

Updated blood test results- is hypo the cause of my symptoms?
This blood test was taken at 9.15am. I had a previous blood test in February with a private GP, who suggested that thyroxine levels were depleting as TSH was slightly raised. Initial blood test (taken at 9am): TSH 4.28, free T3 4.6, free T4 15.6. So it seems like my results have improved since then

Low Energy
hey all, I completed my C25K last October and felt great 😊 however, it was short lived as in December, I found my iron levels were very low and so made it impossible for me to run, my iron levels are now back to a normal level so rather than diving back in to a 30 min run, I have started the C25K again

Advice would be much appreciated
Hi, I only found this really useful forum recently and am hoping you can give me some advice on behalf of my mum, who has very severe RLS. My mum has had RLS for many decades. It's got steadily worse over time but in the last couple of years this has accelerated and it's become far more intense. It

Advice on new results please in preparation for completing e-consult
Thank you for all the advice I have received previously. Unfortunately GP seems intent on ignoring my symptoms. Every time I complete an e-consult form requesting a medication review I am sent for another blood test and then hear nothing until I request results only to be told they are ‘normal’ and

What to do about supplements when going abroad
What do you do about supplements when flying? I don't want to take full packs of everything but can't see airlines letting you take a tub with mixed supplements in. I'm thinking of magnesium in particular. I also have a large bottle of vitamin C plus selenium and zinc emulsion but unfortunately it's
