Could my iron supplement be causing weight gain?
I have been gaining weight despite being very careful in what I eat since starting my gentle iron supplement. A google search has come up with very mixed results re this. Not sure what to believe. Any advice?

Pregabalin side effect – mental health
Hello everyone, To start with some positives: a big thank you for your advice and support a few months ago. It gave me the confidence to ask the GP to re-look at my ferritin blood test results and the latest RLS treatment guidelines. My iron levels are now up and the RLS considerably eased, although

Antipsychotics causing restless brain, Antidepressant causing restless sleep
If you can't love someone at their worst, you don't deserve to love them at their best. I meet a woman suffering catatonia and RLS in a psychiatric hospital, woman had serious injures, from jumping out of a car, her doctor said to me she was quiet psychotic when she first arrived to the ward. While

How to taper ropinirole when taking 4x/day
My 87 year old mother (who also has Parkinson's) currently takes ropinirole 4 times a day. I have started tapering the ropinirole (with her neurologist's approval) due to augmentation and frequent, intermittent visual/auditory hallucinations and delusions. She had been on a grand total of 9 mg earlier

update -reducing ropinerole
Update on my husband, he is down from 8 mg to 4 mg ropinerole daily and about to transition to a lower amount again. Has been lowering it down .25 mg every 2-3 weeks depending upon rls flare ups which have been minimal. He is taking iron supplements with c daily and has been doing well. He has adjusted

Second opinion for my daughter (ruling out thyroid, opinion on vitamins)
17 year old daughter has complained of headaches and fatigue for years. Chalked it up to teenager, pandemic, and irregular sleeping patterns. As all those things resolved, and the headaches and fatigue didn't, I ordered bloodwork to rule out Hashis and Hypo; and hopefully pinpoint a treatment to get

All new to me!
I came across this group by sheer accident I wasn’t looking for advice re the medication I was taking but after reading the posts I’m now worried about it all. I was on 0.5mg Advartel Ropinerole (which was working absolutely fine for me, honestly gave me my life back after 10 years of not knowing

Some Potentially Alarming Changes to Blood
Hi All, CLL Diagnosed less than a year ago. 13 Q del. I am/was hoping for a slow progression of this disease, but my recent blood work is worrying me. I'll meet with my doctor (CLL specialist at U of Chicago) next week, but I value the insight of those who have been dealing with this just as much if

Low ferritin again
Unsurprisingly my ferritin has fallen back to the very bottom of the range yet again after i ceased iron supplements back in march. Raised a call with the surgery this morning and within 6 minutes of raising the call online it had been closed by the enhanced care practitioner as saying no action required

Good news and bad news
I said I'd update the forum with my efforts to get an iron infusion. I'll start with the bad news which is that the neurologist at Newcastle has said they won't do an infusion for a patient who doesn't live in the Northern region which is sort of understandable but frustrating because infusions are not

Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency Anemia: Potential Risk Factors in Bone Loss
Members are likely all too familiar with patients being told that they are suffering osteopenia or osteoporosis due to having too much thyroid hormone. And, especially, too much T3. While it is important to realise that there is a case to be made regarding excess thyroid hormone, it is just as important

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped
