RLS and iron metabolism and treating with dopamine agonists causes dopamine burnout
“That is exactly why almost any doctor you see prescribes dopamine-stimulating drugs for restless legs.But this logic is flawed, and even they know this. Here’s why.The biggest problem with restless legs is the bulk of your receptors that are SUPPOSED to receive dopamine aren’t receiving it. [2] Restless

I have been quiet on here as I’ve struggled terribly with stress and anxiety about it all and found that distraction by not talking about it was my best way of coping….until now…. So here

Checkup of multinodular goitre at ENT
I have a checkup of my multinodular goitre at the end of Feb 2023 and I would like some advice please on what to be asking when I’m there. When it was identified almost two years ago I went on the 2ww . Thankfully it wasn’t cancer but I was so worried I didn’t ask many questions. Further info/Background

***Update at the end of this post*** I AM LIVID!!! L.I.V.I.D! The words from the headline were said to me today by a sports physician that I consulted as my right knee and thigh have been hurting since November. “One shouldn‘t start running at your age. You should not be running at your age

Hello, I wondered if you might be able to advise me on my recent test results from Thriva? Blood taken at 11.30 am fasting. I had taken Levo at 10 pm previous night. I'm taking Solgar sub lingua B12 which includes folate - do I need to stop this and change to just B complex to bring down B12? Is

Blood tests and supplement advice please if you have a minute.
Hello everyone, I posted this a little while back but no comments so trying again, I know everyone is busy but I find help here invaluable. I am hoping I could get some advice on recent results. In late October I changed from 100-125mcg dose due to aches and sluggishness. Prior to this I had received

any advice please
I’m having the weirdest of times just now.. I redid all my anemia testing ,it had been a year since I did them so as I thought my iron was maybe too low and that’s why I felt tired all the time I thought I’d have it all checked and also Dr K at the infusion centre in Cambridge advised me to do them

Query re. folic acid dosage and related issues
I’m still confused with regard to correct amounts of folic acid and B6 when injecting B12 EOD or ED, assuming it’s for life. Is there a danger of overdosing folic acid or B6 do we know? Also not entirely clear about taking iron if spare folic acid becomes ferritin and is stored as iron. Or if this

A change for a Friday...girls on a walk...
Hi there. Walking is ongoing as I continue building back to full strength again. Hoping every one is managing to get some walks in too! Today, I went down to spend the day with Small runner in training, Mama and Alice the dog. Poor Dada was in his study working! Friday is a day when Small one arrives

17 hour flight
I have been invited to a wedding in Louisiana later this year. My RLS is still problematic but manageable at home with Buprenorphine and Pregabalin and walking around / standing up. I am doubtful about the 17 hours flights. I can't ever remember going that long without several attacks of RLS. I've
