Fitness seems to be so important?
I just want to say how much exercising helps me manage this condition. I am living alone but I am at risk of falling over due to freezing gait and unpredictable falls backwards. But I am much better if I am moving about! The worse thing is to do nothing. If i have been sitting at the computer for too

Iron and magnesium levels plus
Hi everyone. I recently had blood tests done as suggested and results have come back showing slightly low magnesium level at 0.68mmol/L and serum ferritin level of 60ng/ml. (Low?) I've been asked to go back for retest on the magnesium but no mention of the iron? Looking back on my test results I had

update and advice on flights
understanding. She has given me the form to get my iron tested but did say it would be difficult to get anybody to agree to an iv iron transfusion but let’s wait and see what my bloods come back as first. She has prescribed me gabapentin, at my request, but think I may try to manage it a bit again first

Just need to talk.
hi there, Since, I really have no idea what I’m doing and having an ileostomy complicates things like I can’t just drink water I have to drink isotonic drinks etc. Anyway, I have stents due to hydronephrosis. My egfr was 22, then 20 in hospital last year. I have nephrostomy’s for a while. last week

More questions from a Levo newbie I'm afraid !
Hello.I started taking my Levo, 75mg about 5 days ago. I've chosen to take it at night because when I wake up between 6 and 7 ( sometimes earlier, rarely later ! ) I tend to have a cup of tea. I could wait 30 mins but I understand it would be better to wait longer. So I thought bedtime would be easier

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

RSL - has anyone had severe side effects
hi all it’s me again regarding the horrible time my husband and I have went through due to the side affects of in our case pramixepole , or any other dopamine agonist which may have affected you. I am not looking to sue anyone although many many cases have been taken to court in the USA and Canada but

vitamin B1 - added supplements
Hi, can anyone recommend good quality Magnesium and vitamin B complex supplements to take alongside vitamin B1? I live in the UK. There seems to be different types of magnesium and do I look for a B Complex that has a low amount of B6 (if that is possible). Would be grateful for any advice.

Iron Bisglycinate
I have been taking Nutravita iron bisglycinate 28mg x 2 tabs on alternate days for 3 1/2 months. My ferritin levels were originally 50 and have only risen to 67. I’m confused about the dose of the iron. Is 28mg of iron bisglycinate equivalent to 28mg elemental iron? Sue said the two tablets (equaling

Oral Iron supplements, doing it wrong!
Well, I got my full blood test back and after some analysis, I think I messed up. I have been supplementing daily with 36 milligrams of ferrous bisglysinate. Here are my lab results that concern me. Ferritin was 72! This is my lowest since my infusion in 2016. Eight weeks after my infusion

Minerals - Zinc, Magnesium & Selenium results
Please would someone point me in the right direction for optimal mineral levels. I did a recent minerals blood test with Get Tested. (See picture of results) I’m thinking my Zinc & Magnesium are not optimal as they’re quite low on the scale. My selenium is high so I’ll cut back on the Brazil nuts for
