update Cherylclaire
Things seem to be turning around for me lately. After having to go off sick from my teaching job, I finally wrote a letter to my GP- as appointments were only 10 minutes and v. difficult for both of us as I'm having a few cognitive/ memory etc problems. She has now spoken to a haematologist for advice

parkrunning with Ben Smith of The 401 Challenge
At age 18, Ben tried to take his own life after having a
nervous
breakdown
due to bullying at school, of which he had been a target for 8 years. At university, he suffered from depression, and, again, tried to take his life. Thankfully, both of those attempts failed.

Drug free and waiting for neurologist
It has been 2 months now since I managed to wean myself off the ropinirole and then tramadol so I could be drug free when I finally see the neurologist on the 1st October (a 7mth wait!) I didn't expect it would be easy and at first it certainly wasn't. However I thought it would be a good idea to use

I'm soooo tired what with still flaring after 9 months. I take ferrous fumarate 3 x a day. I'm off to the docs in

How long do I keep supplementing?
I posted this a few days ago and would really appreciate some advice. I'm finally feeling really well, thanks largely to the forum and wonder how long I should continue supplementing. I have been reading Dr Brewers book 'The Essential Guide to Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements' and it looks like I'd

Ferrous Fumarate
I have a feeling these should be kept well away from Calcium in foods. Could someone please let me know if I am correct. I know it has to be taken with Vitamin C and, I think, 4 hours after Levothyroxine. I would be grateful for advice on this.

Ferritin levels and B12 recovery
Will optimum ferritin levels eg 80+ help to speed up the recovery of my red blood cell production? My last ferritin level was 42. I've been prescribed ferrous sulphate to help raise my levels but my understanding is that iron levels raise slowly and gradually even on supplements. I'm struggling with

Newbie needing help please!
Hi I'm not sure if I'm in the right place, but I was recommended this from another site. I've been off work with horrendous fatigue, various body pains and brain fog for the past 4 months, following a chest infection back in April. My GP has done some a couple of blood tests and found a vitamin D deficiency

Put on a stone in a month....not happy, not happy at all!😣
Morning all, I write this morning with a nice cuppa in hand 😉 I don't often feel the need to step onto my scales, but the last couple of days I could feel my neck thickening... I know what I weighed a month ago because I was honing my heavenly body for my wedding!😇 So, when I stepped on the scales
