The outcome of my infusion, and a question
On 3 February 23 I had an iron infusion (at a private clinic), and I have finally been able to get a blood test (on the NHS) to see what my serum ferritin and transferrin levels are now. My serum ferritin level has increased from 50.0 to 406.7. My transferrin level is down from 2.26 to 1.74. I was

Low iron
Just had my second half ablation and I'm back in rhythm , but was just wondering if anyone has had any low iron issues after the operation . In between my front convergent hybrid ablation last August I became very ill and my GP started the ball rolling with all the tests available . To cut a long story

Methadone + Pregabalin + Trazodone - So far so good
Hi everyone, just wanted to share a good story. Sorry for the telegraphic style, I'm just saving everyone's time. I'm 33, living in Canada. I guess I've had RLS my whole life, but it started affecting my sleep about 10 years ago. I'm very active (cycling everyday, rock climbing & calisthenics). No other

Can I Reduce The Symptoms of ADHD Taking These Supplements?
Hi everyone, I am diagnosed with ADHD last week. My psychiatrist prescribed me Strattera (Atomoxetine). I have heart arryhtmia and learned that it is not recommended to use Straterra if you have heart arryhtmia. Also I learned that sudden deaths and stroke have been reported in adults taking atomoxetine

Ambroxol is an antihistamine. High histamine associated with PD. Low histamine associated with RLS
My PD symptoms have greatly decreased. It is bizarre. (Yes I have PD , was diagnosed twice, father has PD) I used to have a visible tremor in my fingers that would come out when exhausted or stressed. It has disappeared as of late. My “weird leg” as I call it, PD feeling of disconnected weaker

Allergic Reaction to Sinemet?
I posted previously that after being on Pramipexole for over 30 years, I, at the direction of my PCP, completed about 2 weeks ago a transition over an 8 week period from P to Sinemet (100 carbidopa-200 levodopa). The transition went smoothly and I am now on two tablets, one taken at 3 pm and a second

Starting Gabapentin
Thanks to great advice on here last year, I took a course of ferrous sulfate and my ferritin levels went from 52 to 105. Unfortunately this didn’t help my RLS and my GP doesn’t do a full iron panel and so couldn’t get the other relevant results. I have now opted for Gabapentin but my GP had advised

Fived years ago I was introduced to Pramipexole by a consultant at hospital. It was a godsend and completely cured the symptoms.

Not reacting well to T3
Hello All, I wonder if there are people here who have not reacted well to T3? This is the second time I'm trying to take it. First time, it was about 5 years ago when I needed to raise my T3, it was at 20% range. I took just 5mcg of compounded T3 as per my Doc advice and started to feel anxious,
