TSH, T4 and T3 results - are they okay? Hair loss worse.
My Levothyroxine was increased to 75mcg at the beginning of September. I am due an NHS blood test next week via my doctors, but I thought I would arrange my own test (Monitor My Health) in advance of this. I mainly wanted to see what my T3 is, as I have never had that tested and also to see if my T4

Iron Infusions
An interesting article on iron infusions and when they should be considered for the general population.It mentions that inflammation can stop iron absorption. It also confirms that newer iv iron formulations are much safer with very low risk of adverse side effects. Most GPs will say iron infusions are

Dexa scan
I had to have a Dexa scan last Wednesday, arranged by Endocrinologist I’ve only seen once and discharged at conclusion of the appointment. Saw GP yesterday (appt made nearly a month ago after Endo appt) who said I would need medication if osteoporosis identified in scan (as TSH suppressed!). The side

B1 Thiamine
Dear all, My mom who has Parkinson's was on 1500mg B1 oral. We moved from 1000mg to 1500mg and suddenly sleep was a problem. We then stopped B1 Thiamine and for a week. For a day or two after stopping she was doing fine. But then from day 3 to 6 she started having PD symptoms. We started her again on

Feedback on private Blood tests please, before my Endo appt..
I posted earlier this month asking for advice before I see my Endo at the end of November. I've not been feeling too great and my Endo put me on Hrt as my levels were all in range and he thinks my symptoms are perimenopausal rather than thyroid. (graves/Rai Oct 21) I feel it's a mixture of both. Hrt

FAINTS/COLLAPSES WITH HYPOTHYROIDISM?
I have been on levothyroxine since the 1980s, and last year I experienced various fainting issues in 2021 (see bio). I would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer. In August 2022, on the Saturday of the long extreme heatwave I got up at 6.30 much earlier than normal to open all windows and

Suffering with extremely Severe RLS with a score of 39 out of 41 on the RLS scale. ( 1=no symptoms 41= Extreme Clinical RLS)

IFA negative, Low Active B12 - advice please.
Hi - a brief update and request for advice on B12. I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. Following a disappointing Endo appointment I wrote a detailed email to request an appointment with the Consultant as I felt I hadn’t had the chance to discuss my concerns properly with her junior. This was granted

Anemia
dealing with iron deficiency anemia of chronic diseases and suspect a B12 deficiency too but I almost think my immune system has attacked something else, to the point that I have a whole nother level of Anemia’s … It’s been 6 weeks since I had my last iron infusion and I’m starting to feel really weak

Fibro & Magnesium Spray.
Evening all. So as I've only been recently been diagnosed with Fibro (although had many symptoms for many years ) and I've been on Pregabalin for a number of years too, I was wondering if anyone else has had much success with using Magnesium Spray?. I did some research and this was something that cropped

Muscle spasm in right hand??? Has anyone else had/ have this?
I can barely use my right hand, I am right handed. The spasms run up to mid arm. Has anyone had a similar problem. I am at my wits end, I don't know how to reduce it. I use magnesium, high doses of Nortritypline and nothing seems to help? I think the issue is coming from my neck? Neck very sore, currently

ropinirole
I have been taking ropinirole for more than 40 years. 1 mg at night. It works for me but now I am terrified because apparently it has been withdrawn and I can’t get it in any of the farmacias in the Valencia region. I tried gabapentin - no effect at wll. I gave just been prescribed pregabalin and didn

Iron Info Heme vs Non Heme
So, Heme iron is from animal sources and is apparently better absorbed than non Heme iron (from plant sources). The two different iron types are absorbed by different pathways. But, there are real risks in supplementing with Heme iron - Coronary Artery disease and Cancer incidence increases. I would
