Why don’t I notice an increase in energy? Have had three b12 injections.
Have very low b12 and iron. Had three injections of b12 and still don’t feel any better? Schedule is for 5 more shots then recheck levels. Taking iron supplements for 5 weeks now also. Thanks

Do I need levothyroxine?
Hi all. Have recently had a raft of symptoms, low HR, breathing issues, tiredness, sleep problems, joint pain etc. Had a test which showed Tpo antibodies of 516 and TSH of 4.9 and T4 of 12. Iron and ferritin both at the low end. My issue is that I also have a possible issue with mild cervical stenosis

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,

Daytime RLS
Does anyone have any advice on dealing with RLS during the day? I take 300mg of Pregabalin at night, which helps at night (normally). Recently, the RLS is coming back very badly around lunchtime, and lasts all afternoon, every day, without respite. As you can imagine, it is affecting me pretty badly
