Gabapentin not working - next steps?
Ongoing RLS symptoms mostly during the day. Had a few months of respite this year where it just seemed to go away mysteriously, but is now back with a vengeance. Gabapentin 400mg three times per day doesn't seem to touch it. I take it throughout the day instead of in the evening because the RLS mostly

Off B12 a week before B12 blood test or not?
Hello, my mum is due a repeat B12 blood test (and hoping for a full iron panel too which I have just requested) - does she need to stop the B12 supplements a week before the blood test? Or is stopping B vitamins only necessary before the thyroid blood tests? Many thanks.

ADT and Headaches
To all, I may have mentioned it before, but I've had low-level but disruptive headaches since I started ADT along with low RBC/Hemoglobin/Hematocrit. Also as a diabetic, I've been on metformin for many years, thus depleting my B12 levels. I've talked to my doctors about this, and the only solution

PBC and skin hyperpigmentation
maybe someone can help me with this. I have positive ANA 1280. Positive AMA M2 120. Positive Anticentromere 160. These were discovered in 2014 when I started having symptoms which turned out to be Lupus. Since the M2 was positive I have been seeing a Liver specialist once a year with annual ultrasounds

Persuading GP to test T3
My daughter has been on thyroxin for the last 10 years. During that time she has had two babies and recently been anaemic. She has taken iron tablets with only a little improvement and now stopped because she feels fed up with taking them. I suggested she should bring her yearly blood test forward a

underactive thyroid
hi there I’ve had an under active thyroid for 8 years and recently gained weight and losing iron. My doctor has said my neck thyroid reading is ok but my “brain reading is slower” Does this make sense to anyone? Also, how do people take iron and vitamin d as I have read not to take it near medication

I can’t put my finger on it.,
I’ve been reading some of your bios and you can pinpoint what started your journey down this path. I can not. I came from what I would call a “normal “ family. We had a dairy farm. My dad worked as an iron miner until they shut down in the early sixties. My mom stayed at home. There was never any problem
