Ajovy constipation
Hi all, Been taking Ajovy since July and definitely having a positive effect on my migraines, but have started to have issues with constipation :-(. Any advice? Think I remember some people recommend magnesium oxide or citrate? When is a good time to take this and what dose? Thanks!

Is it B12 deficiency, cortisol issues or COVID related?
I had Covid in March and since then have been feeling pretty much all of the rotten signs and symptoms I had when on T4 only as well as some more awful ones indicative of B12 deficiency. My ferritin vit D but especially B12 have all taken a dive. I have always had above range B12 without supplements.

Bloods on lower dose + Intermittent Fasting
Latest bloods on 125mcgs liquid Levo (random brands due to supply issues!!). Dose was reduced 6 weeks ago from 140mcgs due to IF pushing up FT4 and dropping TSH. Levo stopped 24hrs before test. Test was at 8.45am. B Complex stopped 7 days before test and B12 spray + 1mg Methylfolate taken in replacement

blood test results help
Good Morning, I have new thyroid results, very different from my last post I think, bit confused now. I did a medicheck blood test, Tuesday 9am, didn't take any vitamins or thyroxin (175mg) for a good couple of days before. Vit D, B12, Folate and Ferritin are very similar to previous result. I have

Blood test results
Hi I have had a Medichecks blood test before having my Endo appointment next week. I’m on 50 mcg levothyroxine and 10 mcg Liothyronine (taken as 5 mcg twice daily). My TSH levels are low and TPA very high. Is this normal on combination therapy? While I feel better on this regime I cannot lose the

Iron supplementation
I apologize, I have been looking at past posts but having trouble finding the best answer. I most likely have RLS, and doc wants to increase my Ferritin to 100. They recommend iron but don't say what kind, or how best to take it. Other then that the Neurologist was fantastic. So I was hoping some

B1 Therapy- transitioning from oral to sublingual
Hello PWP Community, Does anyone have experience in converting from oral dosages to sublingual B1? I’ve been having very good experience with the Oral HCL of 2400mg daily in 3 x 800 or 4 x 600mg. I’d like to convert to the sublingual as its purportedly a smaller dosage and single administration daily

any higher strength iron glycinate supplements?
Hi, thanks in advance. My teenager is taking iron glycinate 27mg iron per tablet. I sourced this after the fumarate prescribed by GP seemed to be giving stomach pain. Current dose of 1 per day is maybe not sufficient to increase her ferritin. It was around 15 for several years (till I read up about

magnesium oil
5.5 years into PMR. Mega stress for the last two. Been stuck on 4mgs pred for over year. 😫 If I try 3.5, one day only, returning to 4 the next, fine for first 24 hours, then the pain returns. Am now trying massaging magnesium oil on calves as they seem to stiffen the worst. Has anyone else tried

Muscle cramps and increased leg fatigue and aching
My HWP exercises regularly (boxing, walking, pickleball), but lately is experiencing frequent cramps after any/all of these. He has had to cut walks short because he finds them too painful and the cramps are occurring immediately after exercise and again at night. Any more suggestions? He is taking

Recent test results 'Satisfactory' - NOT! - and any advice about supplements on which order to take?
I've just looked online at my latest test results and the top box from my surgery says 'Result -
Satisfactory
' and 'What you need to do -
No Further Action
'. Quick history... I've got hashimotos, diagnosed in 2018, started on levothyroxine in 2020, noticed significant hair thinning/loss

I wonder if anyone else has tried bathing in magnesium salts?
I’m not claiming it as a miracle cure - in fact, I don’t think it’s a cure at all - but it seems to help soothe some of the symptoms in my creaky old body. I don’t think it’s a good idea to do it too often, and anyhow we’re supposed to be saving water and the flakes are quite expensive, but once a week

Please help me form a plan of action based on my blood results!
Just got my bloods back and would appreciate any advice what all these could mean and/or how I can myself get well(er) as I am not at all convinced this knowledge will ever come from my clueless but kind GP and NHS Endo. By way of background, thyroid disease runs in my family, and I have had years

Supplements for iron
I have had the following blood tests: Serum ferritin level 41 ug/L [10.0 - 322.0] Serum folate level 23.5 ug/L [5.4 - 24.0] Should I take some iron tablets to boost my ferritin levels and if so what dosage should I be taking?

It’s just come to my notice that Levothyroxine which I’ve been taking for about 25 years or so contains “mannitol “ As I have very bad restless legs for about the same amount of years and getting worse … I was wondering how long mannitol has been in levothyroxine ? Also.. would it affect

GCA condition steroid effects or both?
I was diagnosed with GCA two months ago and tapered down to 17.5 mg steroids from 60 mg. I have had insomnia from the start which is improving as the steroid dosage is reduced. I have practised good sleep hygiene - the full works, expensive sleep inducing bath foam, massage oil, magnesium oil spray,

RLS/PLMs and treatment
I would like to share information concerning my health particularly in relation to RLS/PLMs hoping that others with the condition may be helped. My experience of RLS could go back to my teens when, whilst seated and playing cards with my brother, we would both be moving our legs quite rapidly, toes
