So many questions ??
I am 71 years old, weigh 8 stone, generally fit and healthy. I have probably had RLS for many years causing the occasional sleepless night or restless evening in the chair. I had my first prolonged nighttime episode last November which lasted a few nights. Nothing since except tingling in my left leg

Calcium Hyroxyapatite caps: Does anyone take them and please give pros and cons if you can.
I took NOW calcium hydroxyapatite caps 500 mg daily until about a year ago. After going through the bottle containing 120 capsules, I started on Solaray calcium magnesium 2:1 ratio (containing calcium amino acid chelate complex, calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide/ magnesium amino acid chelate complex

Leg cramps at night
I'm on my 3rd different statin due to very painful cramps. Currently on 20mcg of Rosuvastatin which has been fairly ok until recently. I'm now getting excruciating cramps in calves and toes at night.Never known pain like it!I'm taking magnesium tablets as read that could help but nothing really has improved

Feeling Low Today
Hi Guys....just need to get this stuff out of my brain (again). Been working to taper off Clorazepam for a couple of weeks and apparently tapered too much a couple of days ago.....and it wasn't pretty. There are reasons we need to go slow!!! Even though I added the amount back for now, I don't

Latest bloods - asking for your expert opinions before I see the GP :)
In February my TSH done by NHS was 0.19 but I'd been feeling increasingly worse again so my dose was increased to 100mg. The doc didn't really think that was the problem and thought it wouldn't help but I thought it was worth a try. I'd last felt really great at about 0.13ish, several months earlier

Where can I get my mineral levels tested?
I test bloods, including vitamins and iron, regularly. But I have no idea what my zinc and magnesium etc. levels are. Is there a home test kit I can use that doesn't cost the earth?

Am I hypothyroid?
I’m looking for some guidance/information as I haven’t been able to get much clarity from my GP and endocrinologist. I started having all the usual hypo symptoms about 2 years ago; feeling cold, fatigued, weight gain, low moods, brittle hair and nails, skin itching, night sweats, tinnitus, aching joints

blood test - missing bits
HI All The saga of my attempts to get a full test has been achieved by paying 35 quid for a blood draw after 2 failed attempts with finger pricks. Thyroxine stuff all came out in the results first time and has been discussed separately so am only looking for comments on the items below : ferritin

19 struggling with ectopics
Hi all, I just wanted to come on here for a bit of advice or just to share what I’ve been struggling with recently, I’ve struggled with ectopic beats for over a year now, and they have been manageable as they have predominantly been quite spread out or predictable, and the only bad episodes happening

Magnesium recommendations
I have used the better you sprays for a while and they are helpful, but dry my skin out over time. I tried magnesium citrate from Holland and Barrett but the pills are uncomfortable to swallow and didn't seem to help. I then tried the vita biotics brand which contains dihydroxide, and they are great

Started my grandmother on TTFD
I am my grandmother's primary care taker. I recently learned about HDT and decided to try it on her. Every morning I videotape her eating, which I will use to see if her condition gets better or worse over time. She is 87, having parkinson's for at least 25 years. In the last year her on-state dyskinesia

Omeprazole and RLS
I’ve had worsening RLS for a while and recently realised that my Omeprazole could be a causative factor- I take 10mg daily. I’ve been reading about long term effects of Omeprazole and learned that it can cause lowering of magnesium levels. I’d like to try coming off Omeprazole but wonder how long I’
