When to take supplements
I take so many supplements now I'm confused if I'm taking them that at the right time or if they would work better along-side another. My most recent blood tests are as below: I've got a feeling my dr is going to try and reduce my levo due to the TSH. TSH 0.15 miu/L (0.27 - 4.5) T4 20.9 pmol/L (11 -

Best Iron Supplement to up Iron & Ferritin levels
Hi My Iron and Ferritin are always on the low side. Recently my iron was 13, 3 months before it was 8 and ferritin never seems to go above 30. I am currently on 1 ferrous fumarate daily 210mg, but this never seems to increase levels higher. I can't tolerate two a day as I get a very bad stomach. I have

continuing low folate levels
Hi I have had under active thyroid for about 10 years. In July last year I was treated for low folate and ferretin levels. My hb was fine. Anyway, I took the folic acid for 3 months and the ferrous sulphate for 6 months. I finished the folic acid about 3 months ago. I have had a call from the dr tonight

Been on and off anti depressants over the years and I had what my stepdad calls a “
nervous
breakdown
” in 2016. Right now I should be happier than how I feel - but I’m not.

Ferritin 91 Transferrin saturation 19.9 Now on 400mg of iron daily & a referral to movement clinic. Are there likely to be options to help me get

Getting off Gabapentin
Has anyone here found that Gabapentin loses its effectiveness? When I started taking gabapentin before my infusion and it really did help. It stopped my legs and helped me sleep. Now, I don’t think it is working and I want off of gabapentin When I started, I quickly went up to 1800mg a day, gabapentin

Ferritin Facts please!
Hi all, I wondered if anyone could please point me in the right direction. After a blood test showing my ferritin level to be 74 whilst on 200mg prescription ferrous sulphate daily a different GP has advised I no longer need to take this (whilst continuing to prescribe B12 injections and folate). I remember

Hypophosphatasia
Recently had a number of blood tests. One test which has been upper end of low for about 4 years is alkaline phosphatase. Normal range, 46-116 U/L. My results were 2016: 39; 2017: 29; 2018: 32; 2019: 40. I've never had any of the tooth or bone abnormalities generally associated with hypophosphatasia,

New member, question about iron and rls
Hello, hope someone can help me, I've been given ferrous sulfate tablets 200mg three times a day as I have rls symptoms and a ferritin level of 27.
