Wasting GP’s Time, so it seems
I saw my GP on Thursday. I took another copy of the Mayo Clinic guidelines with me.When I told him about the tingling and aching in my legs, he examined then with a Doppler, he did not do a neurological exam.I explained the guidelines would suggest the need for an iron infusion considering my nightly

Correct me if I am wrong. Please
There are four forms of cobalamin commercially available for injection. Cynocabalamin which in tests of a non cobalamin deficient human has been tested for retention times. There is no comparative testing of the efficacy of Cynocabalamin versus other forms including no test of the effect on symptoms

zinc and magnesium dosage
hello! I have hashimotos after having postpartum thyroiditis with my three children. I take vit d, and iron and folic acid as my nhs blood tests showed I was deficient. My b12 was fine. I also take Selenium. I believe I should be taking magnesium and zinc too but wasn’t sure at what dosage and if

Low iron test results and a way forward please
I had some blood tests recently and am wanting advice on a way forward, please. My serum iron level and my transferrin saturation index are both below the minimum level on the reference ranges. My serum ferritin is only just above the minimum on the reference range. I am struggling with symptoms I remember

Acne and thyroid issues
Hi, I have hypothyroidism that I am not able to manage because with 75mg one day and 100mg the other day I was at TSH equal to 4 and acne free. They put me on levothyroxine 100mg everyday and after 6 weeks I became with TSH equal to 0.2 and T4 super high; with these values I also get acne, expecially

iron panel
quick question lovely knowledgeable people. Has anyone improved their iron panel results by using Ancestral grass fed liver supplements? I know they are mega expensive so I’m asking for any comments before they buying it. I’ve tried 3 arrows before. 🙏

Correctly written prescription...do they exist? 🫤
My pharmacist requested that I get my prescription altered to state Vencamil now that Aristo has been dropped by Alliance to stave of future confusion ( it currently mentions both)... I did say that I had tried in the past to get it named but they say that they can't... So I spoke with the Surgery and

Help with iron results - follow up from 3 arrows nutra
Hi everyone, I did an iron panel and I’m quite amazed with my ferritin level. I have been lax with my iron supps since going to T3 only and thought I would definitely have ranked my previously low results. To my disbelief, my ferritin is the highest I’ve ever seen it! I was previously taking the 3 arrows

I'm Alive!
I had heard that some of you were looking for me. I have not been on too much these past few months as I had completely crashed, completely non-functional, with a severe case of iron deficiency. I apologize for not posting what was going on with me sooner. But the severe, severe fatigue just did

rls and leg weakness
This is a response to another post asking about correlation of RLS and numb hands and feet. I think there is a connection. However there are so many other possible explanations. A search of "nerveguard MD" does list RLS. But more common comorbidity explanations are pinching nerve fibers from carpel

My story won't apply to everyone, of course, but you may find a nugget worth considering. I've had mild RLS intermittently for forty years until it recently worsened. I'd always managed it with weighted heat, L-Tryptophan, magnesium glycinate, L-Theanine, and if necessary, a little pacing. At age 36,
