alternative to Sytron Liquid Iron
hi, I have just collected my prescription from the doctors and they have no Sytron in stock. No have any of the local chemists. There seems to be a shortage. Can anyone suggest an alternative please?

Testing T3
I just had the results back for my recent blood tests. I had asked the nurse to add "taking T3" on the form and she did, but said it would not make any difference, they would not test it. She said all the GPs in the practice had tried to alter this, but it seems the labs go by what the local endo says

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can Help me to try and understand what is going on with my blood test results. I have always had low ferritin in single figures and after years of low B12 I was eventually in March 21 put on B12 injections every 3 months for life . The ferritin improved slowly but my

hormone advice for my daughter please
Hi everyone, hope it’s okay to ask for advice for my daughter. Shes 25, has hashis and has been taking thyroid meds for around 11 years now and is currently on 100/125 levo on alternate days. Over the past few months, she’s lost all of her hair and has been having problems with her periods as well

2 year old Toddler with RLS
Hi there! Came here out of desperation. My soon to be 2 year old has had terrible sleep since day 1. He is extremely hyperactive, and would be up in the middle of the night for hours. We tried every natural syrup or solution recommended by doctors. Finally saw a neurologist and he suggested RLS. We are

Chillblains
I have SLL and recently have had a few occurrences of Chillblains, my son is a Consultant Haematologist and tells me haematological malignancy is a common link and this paper links it to SLL, https://bmcdermatol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12895-015-0032-z. I can cope with this keeping hands

Thank you and recent results
This community gave me so much support about a month ago, when I posted about untreated Hypothyroid in pregnancy. Unfortunately I miscarried a week later, and I won't have any way of knowing if my thyroid was really the cause. I've taken some time to recover, but wanted to come back here and say thank

Impatient Patient feeling anxious 😬
Hello lovely people. Hope you’re having a good week. I’m day 12 into taking 25mcg of levothyroxine and honestly feeling worse. I seem to be a lot more anxious than I normally am, it’s a kind of unexplainable anxiousness. My legs, ankles and feet get tired and sore very quickly and my ankles seem to

Endometriosis?
Hi everyone My journey is quite a lengthy one so I’ll attempt to shorten it by containing the most important info… when I was a teenager I had awfully painful, extremely heavy periods at times they would bring me to tears, this improved after having children but was still far from “normal” whatever

Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Targinact
I have had RLS for over 20 years and have tried most medications, the latest being Pregabalin, which was good but is now not working so well. I therefore asked my GP if I could try Targinact as I read this is now licensed for RLS. He has agreed and I just need to taper Pregabalin. Can anyone

Low iron levels in blood test
Just had a call from A&E who gave me a blood test last night to say my iron levels were low and I should make an appt with my GP as soon as possible. Very perplexing because I take a daily B12 supplement and eat a varied diet which is cooked from scratch. Could this be related to my under active
