low sodium rate
another worry has set in today after getting my last blood results! My sodium level is still low (128). Only one digit higher than 3 months ago. My GP says he’s not unduly concerned at this moment, and will re-test again in 3 months. From what I’ve googled this low sodium can affect the kidneys and

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?

levothyroxine/Teva/mannitol
hi everyone.. 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

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

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

Travelling in pads - have you done it?
Since I have had to return to commuting, I wear Tena pants to help manage my IBS-D. One of the issues I have is that the need to pee can trigger a bowel movement if I hold on to it. I don't know if its the pressure of a full bladder or the anxiety of an accident that triggers my bowels, maybe a bit of

Levothyroxine sodium loaded dissolving microneedle arrays for transdermal delivery
Have been waiting for this for, umm, years! Especially since many recent mentions of microneedle arrays for other medicines. And suddenly fell across it today. The idea that we just might have an option to avoid oral delivery of thyroid hormones is spectacularly great news. It might not be the best

What do these blood test results mean, please.
These are the results of the blood tests I had done earlier this month. My doctor didn't tell me to fast beforehand, but thanks to advice from this site I had fasted for the previous 12 hours. The doctor has now told me that no action needs to be taken, but I note that one of the readings shows that

Thybon Henning doesn’t contain acacia?!
Sharing for info but also a question around changes to formulation. I’ve recently had my T3 increased which meant moving to Thybon Henning 20s. Since I’m allergic to acacia, I set about trying to find out if it contained it. I spoke to 2 pharmacies (SmartWay and Roseseway Labs) as well as doing my

History of Epileptic Seizure
I am 60 years old male from India. I had my first onset of seizure in my youth days ( 35 years ago). Though it was not clear from EEG but I was put on Dilantin 200 mg. It was controlled for 3 years and then started again from 1990. Eptoin was started in place of Dilantin for 250mg. But the episodes

Got the Second Opinion
And I am SO glad I did! In a prior post, I had told about events leading up to a cardiologist getting snippy with me because I questioned the need for an ablation. The more research I did the more convinced I became that my gut feeling was right and I set up an appt. with a different doctor. Monday

British National Formulary - Confusion
In the British National Formulary, there is a section for each medicine headed [i]Medicinal Forms[/i]. You can see below that the lists start with the heading [i]All products[/i]. However, this is just plain misleading! The first five entries are all for 12.5 microgram levothyroxine tablets. But

How did we arrive at Disease?
I’ve often wondered how I ended up with Parkinson’s. Well the advent of Cov-vid may have inadvertently shed a light on this question. I began reading anecdotal reports, and articles saying that some people getting the cov-vid shot were experiencing a metallic taste in their mouth immediately following

Depressing example of medical intransigence

Even though guidance commitees have cautioned against giving valproate to pregnant women. This scandal continues, and babies are still being born with serious problems. The response of the

Good afternoon, l wonder whether anyone would be kind enough please to see if they can help me? I have been feeling very tired and drained for several months and I am not sure if it might also have been aggravated by Covid, which I had in March this year. I have had a series of private blood tests,
