I have also been having pain in

Pregabalin and High Blood pressure
Has anyone experienced increased blood pressure with pregabalin? I know that hypotension is a potential side effect but hypertension not mentioned. I have read a bunch of people's experiences with their blood pressures going up quite a bit after taking it. I have been taking it for about 1 month

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

Restless legs - augmentation - dosis af medicine and iron ?
Now I'm back for advice. It is simply lucky to be able to find help here when you live in a small country where treating restless legs syndrome is not a top priority among doctors. my first question: I see that the iron product I have started to take contains 50 mg of iron added as the iron chelate

Private blood results
Hello again, I have some updated bloods and as predicted by the group, it appears my thyroid levels have dropped to an underactive level. So, I'm going to stop the Carbimazole and test again in 6 weeks. I'll keep taking my Iron and magnesium. Have bought a B complex but it seems to have made me feel

I had my first iron infusion yesterday. I will be going back next week for another one. I would appreciate any advice, thoughts or comments.

Recent bloods .. help
Hi everyone Been having problems over years on levothyroxine , think conversion low . Decided to see private endo for t3 supplementing as nhs would not prescribe . Since December 23 , he lowered my thyroxine dose which was then 125 /150 alternate days but I was having most of the typical hypo symptoms

Folate timing
Good morning, I’m taking folate as we’re trying for a baby and I’ve read this is better than folic acid. My question is do I need to take it at a different time to levothyroxine? I take it 30 mins to an hour after, but I’m not sure if it’s like iron and should be several hours apart. Many thanks for

Constantly bleeding / zoladex
I'm coming to to my 3rd shot of zoladex next week but for the last 5 weeks I've had 3 periods and all have been a week long. I had 5 days respite between 2 and my current period. I'm currently on day 7 and is not letting up, so don't know how much longer this 3rd will go on for. They aren't light,

Hello, My thyroid has been under suspicion for many years but I cannot seem to get any answers. Postnatally, (four months after giving birth), some fifteen years ago, my TSH was tested and was 12.6. Nothing was done about this. ( I have only just seen this on my NHS app). Fast forward to eight years

My usual activity has included a lot of bicycling, often long hilly rides (50 miles or more) and multiple days in a row. I asked MD if there was anything that might make me feel more
