Who knows why this is happening ?
The first time this happened was 5 years ago, after what the psychiatrist described as a
nervous
breakdown
. I had these terrible headaches. But then they disappeared and only came back 4 months ago, and they are persistent this time.

Ive recently been diagnosed with pernicious Anemia. I'm having 3 monthly B12 injections, Ferrous Sulphate and Folic acid I'm still asleep
My Dr has said he feels I need monthly B12 injections as I am constantly falling asleep. My family doesn't understand & I can't get my Dr to give me monthly B12 injections I feel no Dr that sees me cares and I feel like they are not interested and they don't even listen to me. Please any advice I would

Why do I still have acne?
Hello, I am new to this forum, but I really hope I can find some answers! I have always had spots - the deep painful kind that don't usually come to a head, but about a year ago I had a massive flare up. I had little bumps all over my face, as well as many deep cysts/spots. It really impacted my self-confidence

Feeling foolish and despondent
Morning everyone, Hope you all well. I’d be grateful if you knowledgeable people would be kind enough to educate me. I’ve just come back from the GPs and had my vitamin B12 injection. I had a discussion with the practitioner regarding my poor tolerance of the ferrous fumarate that’s been prescribed

Raised Heart rate
Hi All. As mentioned in previous posts I have been on Digoxin & Eliquis Apixaban since the 11th August. The Digoxin seems to be doing a good job of reducing heart rate at rest and when I go for my daily walks. I do not think Digoxin is meant to reduce heart rate when exercising but I may be wrong. My

Opinions please on whether anyone would increase their Ropinirole dose?
Hello everyone, Can I ask what you would all do in my situation as I am in a real dilemma.? I had been taking Ropinirole for a number of years before it started not to work and I couldn’t tolerate the extra dose (became agitated and panicked) I was then prescribed Pramipexole which worked for quite a

Low ferritin
Hi All, I’ve lurked on and off for several months. I’ve always been told thyroid results are fine but this year I had a positive coeliac blood test result just before lockdown. I did a private thyroid test, no antibodies but TSH slightly elevated. Three weeks ago, more bloods at GP, I knew I had iron

Gastric atrophy ??
Now as I’m still new and trying to learn please may you add to my knowledge and correct anything I have misunderstood. I had a positive coeliac blood test, I’m not doing the gluten challenge and biopsy because this has gone on for over 20 years and I’ve put up. So now I have started ferrous fumarate

Ferritin levels “off the scale”
Hi everyone, just want to say a massive thank you for the advice I was given recently regarding getting my ferritin levels checked. I did just that and my levels were off the scale apparently. I am now taking Ferrous Sulfate 200mg tablets which hopefully will start to kick in between 4-6 weeks. I’m

Pregnant RLS Oral treatment vs IV
Hi fellow night-walkers, My Ferritin level is 10. My Iron count is going between 112 and 118 on the last few tests. I have terrible RLS - but I did get 2 hours sleep last night... My GP has said that it would be dangerous to administer an Injectafer while I am pregnant. My obstetrician has prescribed

Help with blood results
So, the endo is happy with my T3 and T4. Mid to upper range. However I still suffer from bloating, hair loss and fairly rapid pulse (90 bpm) . I take 50mcg levo and 1 grain Thai NDT. I had my iron checked in June 19. GP told me that my levels were ‘normal’. I’ve recently had the Mirena coil removed

Kardia
Hi All. Just wondering if the Kardia unit is any benefit if you are in permanent Afib or is it more of value to someone with paroxysmal or intermittent episodes . I am in permanent although only diagnosed 3 weeks ago and I have read how good the Kardia is but not sure if it will only tell me what I

Started taking Exjade for iron overload from transfusions
Did this for 3 reasons. I am one of a handful of around 20 people taking both drugs with rux maybe one of 10 taking it with with a trial drug as well. Why do I do it? Other patients took the gamble to try rux and imatinib and lost their gamble so I feel I owe my opportunity to them. Pure research. This

Am I still not absorbing iron?
My b12 was 88ng/L and iron 4ug/L.... after 3 years of symptoms, I have had my 5 b12 loading jabs a month ago and taking ferrous fumarate every other day as any more than that gives me diarrhoea. I'm not sure I'm absorbing the iron if its doing that to me. Still have bouts of tiredness and tingling and

Situational anxiety
Last year I was hospitalized for 10 days after having a
nervous
breakdown
. Tomorrow I’m going to a horse show for the first time since my hospitalization. Horse shows are a HUGE anxiety trigger for me. I love them, but I spend at least the first part of the day in misery from the anxiety.
