Total despair with RLS
Hello there, I'm a 57yr old lady who is no longer able to work (since nov 22 ) over the last few months I've been going out of my mind with what i presume is RLS , I'm getting very little sleep and can't sit still at all, the constant need to keep my legs moving and the building cramp like feeling in

please can someone explain to me why t3 still so low
please can someone explain to me if my t3 is 5 does that mean it’s my baseline Isn’t that very low ? range 4.1’to 6.8) I have zero digestion and severe constipation but lost lots muscle If my tsh was 0.02 before starting t3 and my t3 was 2.1 ! Isn’t my body repressing the conversion ? Does magnesium

Guidance for RLS
Hi Everyone, I'm new to this forum and am so glad to have found you. I have suffered with RLS for years, and in the past year, it's become pretty severe. I get VERY little sleep. Currently, I'm taking Gabapentin and Magnesium Glycinate, but neither are helping--yet. I did take Carbidopa-Levodopa for

Please help with advice on Levo dose and vitamin levels.
Hello.I was started on Levo at 75mg about 10 days ago. My doctor wants to do a blood test after 8 weeks. Last time I was given a 2 month trial and because my TSH came down ( they don't care about antibodies so those weren't checked ! ) they took me off the Levo. Now I've gone to a different, much more

Safe to take Gabapentin for life?
I haven’t been able to find any reliable info on whether Gabapentin is safe to take for life (30+ years), specifically for severe PLMD with pain. My husband has this and has not started it yet, as his neurology visit isn’t until later this week. His case seems to be different than any we have read about

Potassium and Magnesium
Hello all, I was diagnosed with AF the other month (a few days after my 40th, what a lovely gift) and, like everyone else, went down the rabbit hole of doing my own research into it and found many people taking potassium and magnesium supplements. These are many types on the market so I was wondering

iron test results help please
I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

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

2 years today , no afib episodes
My last episode was a high stress move out of state 2 years ago. I'm 68. I've had afib for 10 years . Regular episodes every 6 months on average though more frequent in the early years before I got a proper diagnosis which took 3 years. I take flecainide , metoprolol , and Xarelto. No ablations. I'm

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

so many supplements, so much money - any advice for lowering the cost?
hi everyone, I’ve just added up how much I’m spending on ndt and supplements and it’s an awful lot of money. I wondered if anyone had advice on cheaper options or those they think are unnecessary. I’ve got hashimotos and have also been diagnosed with ME/ CFS - these are a mixture of things recommended

Suggestion if you suffer from constipation or IBS-C
If you suffer from hard, dry stools, constipation, stools that are hard to pass you can try: Magnesium Citrate This has worked for me and may help you. Besides drinking lots of water and working out, healthy diet But Magnesium Citrate is known to put water back into your stools. If you take too much

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

TSH up after Synthroid increase
Hi all, I am wondering if anyone has had an increased TSH, lower FT3 & FT4 when increasing Synthroid dose. Some context (apologies if too much, if more needed please let me know) I was diagnosed with hashimoto's in December 2020, labs as follows (range in brackets): TSH 10.29 (.32-5.04 pmol/L) FT3

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
