Supplement timing
Hey just wanted to check in on timing the following supplements and if you would add any others in or increase the amount. I take 150mg of Levothyroxine in the morning an hour before anything but water. I eat a gluten free diet and am careful about cross contamination. Sadly disnt get tested before

Advice re inconsistent and above range FT4 please.
Apologies in advance for long post. GP made me have annual review blood test 21/12/21. Test was done at 8.20am, 24 hours after last dose of levo (150 mcg) and fasting apart from water. Please note, my TSH always appears suppressed because I take Metformin. TSH 0.01mu/L (0.35 - 4.94)

CSR episode update.
I finally was able to see my retina specialist to ask him questions about my reoccurring CSR. He was able to look at all of my previous scans. When I was able to see him my bleed had gone down it had been close to about 3 1/2 weeks almost a month. It has since then almost completely flattened. That’

Magnesium for palpitations
Hi all, Just wondering what type of magnesium you take to improve palpitations. I have been taking magnesium citrate but on reading up I think magnesium taurate may be the current one? I have not had much luck with the citrate. If anyone has had any improvements with magnesium can you share which

Fibromyalgia In PD And Some Potential Relief
Fibromyalgia (FM) is slightly more common in people with PD and FM can cause all over body pain that moves around and can affect tissues, joints and muscles. This group of people with PD and FM are more likely to get dementia and have worse symptoms. FM can cause painful flare-ups at random times, but

Is mineral water good or bad?
Unlike a lot of you who are petite, I'm medium frame and slightly overweight. When I was diagnosed with op, I started going overboard on things like almonds and cheese. I now realize I've gained 10 pounds that might cause other health issues if I don't stop it I take a few supplements, (D3 and K2 MK7

Any hints for diet and/or lifestyle living with PMR?
I’ve been living with the condition for approx 18 months now, and from what I read here my experience is pretty standard; in fact, I’m probably getting off lightly compared to some. I almost managed to taper to no pred, but had a (possible) mild flare a couple of months ago which has responded well to

What vitamin D dose do you take?
Could I ask what vitamin D dose you take please? I could barely walk 4 years ago, and my levels were around 22, and was prescribed the loading dose, and told to take 800iu for a few weeks thereafter. After discovering this forum, I was told to take several thousand iu, I can’t remember the exact dose

Iron Bisglycinate versus Liquid Ferrous Sulfate
Hello oh wise ones. I’m constantly here lurking in the back and rereading posts to take info back to my doc. My doc has very little knowledge of RLS but she is very open to all your information so I’m eternally grateful. Been trying to up my ferritin for the last year. Started at 8 and now a year later
