Weight Loss Plateau
Hi everyone. I've been on a calorie deficit (managing suprisingly well) and do up to 7 hours of exercise (usually cardio classes) a week, since January. I also stopped drinking alcohol 3 months ago. I take daily multivitamins with iron, vitaminc c and b12. I've lost 22 pounds so far but my progress has

Very low iron level - Advice regarding supplementation.
My father is dealing with 2nd BCR. His recent blood test shows extremely low iron levels which is putting his heart at great risk of giving out. He has not had low iron levels before at all. The cardiologist has prescribed supplementation, if that proves insufficient, the cardiologist will administer

the monster inside me
Yet another night of writhing around, getting up, lying down, getting up , lying down - on and on and on it goes, I really feel like there is a monster inside me when this happens. Fell off the bed, hitting my coccyx, head and elbow. I don’t understand pregabalin- 3 nights of ok sleep then three nights

Need reassurance for upcoming fistula surgery
Hi! I am in CKD stage 5 and my last GFR was 13. Other than anemia, which I’ve been getting EPO injections and IV Iron for the past 1.5 years, and metabolic acidosis, I feel okay. My other electrolytes have been in the normal range so far. I am scheduled to get a Brachial Basilic fistula in my upper

T3/T4 and Anxiety
Hi, after considerable reading, I feel a bit like an idiot for not knowing about T3 medication, as I had been taking T4 for last 20 years now and never felt 100%. For the last six months, I had been battling extreme anxiety. I also tried Sertraline for GAD but that made me worse. I am still battling

Advice please- should I increase T3 a little now, as advised by prescriber or do bloods first?
Looking for some advice. I’m a few weeks into an increase of levo, back up to 100mcg from 75mcg. I was advised by my prescriber to do this and then to increase my T3 v slowly to get to 20mcg from my current 10mcg. I take both meds together overnight and don’t split my T3. The increase in levo has made

Hematoma and Ruxolitinib
Hi. I am looking for advice or reassurance. I am on Ruxolitinib and aspirin. I am also taking prescription iron tablets due to my haemaglobin being on the low side. My platelets and white cell count are the higher end of normal. In the past 3 days I have two hematomas in my hand out of nowhere.

Update on ferritin testing issue - private vs. NHS results
Hi everyone. Posting as a new post, rather than add to the long thread on my previous post. https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/150959532/medichecks-vs-nhs-results I have a reply from Medichecks. Hmm... Whilst the info seems to align with what you posted FlipperTD , they don't seem to

Medichecks ferritin results and ranges
Hi all. I don't have a thyroid issue (this has been ruled out), but someone on the PAS forum suggested I post a query on here to see if anyone could shed light on this issue. Having accessed my GP records late last year I discovered I had a long-standing ferritin deficiency, as defined by NICE guidelines

vimpat / lacosamide stopped fully working
the Vimpat stopped working to completely resolve my RLS. Recent MRIs showed multiple Tarlov cysts on my spine, which is possibly causing the left leg pain and movement. It is positional and separate from the RLS in both legs in my arms and body. I see a new neurosurgeon next week. I’ve had multiple

Ferritin and Haemoglobin levels
Hi All, my husband had to abandon radium 223 when it was discovered that he had several lung nodules (around 8mm). His PSA has been increasing for the last 18 months (he was diagnosed August 2022) so his oncologist sent him for a scan after the 4th radium infusion which is how the lung nodules were discovered

Negative Reply from GP
I wrote to my GP advising the fact I had an iron infusion and hade started EOD B12 injections, etc. and asking if I could have the B12 ampoules on prescription. Needless to say I didn’t really expect them to say yes, and they didn’t surprise me! However I am very angry that they won’t accept the fact
