No meds….yet
Hi New to this forum and RLS. Insomnia is crippling me and affecting everything from weight gain to cognitive abilities. I am desperately seeking sleep. GP has prescribed Quinine but little affect. Also on iron tablets, B12, Vit D, Magnesium. Next stop Ropinole. I’m scared to take this as there appears

Any red flags in these results or am I barking up wrong tree?
Hello everyone, I am 52 and on HRT (as have been post menopausal for 2 years now). I have the Mirena fitted and am currently on 3 pumps oestrogen. My issue is that I am extremely fatigued and struggling to cope with the activities of a normal day and have been feeling this way for several months. Due

Daughter starting B12 loading doses- question re supplements
Hello again, I've just got off the phone to GP and she has sanctioned loading doses EOD. She initially offered once every two weeks. I said 'Oh I though they were supposed to be EOD' and she said 'Well she doesn't fit the criteria for deficiency' but seemed to consider for a few seconds and then said

Any advice for a friend? Folate, ferritin and Vitamin D…
Hello… I have a friend who has been hypothyroid for decades, and is now late seventies. She has felt suddenly exhausted and put it down to life events, but had a FBC, which the GP said was ‘fine’. Having had such invaluable help from so many of you on here, I suggested she got the results emailed, and

Normal results but still feeling incredibly fatigued.
Hi A couple of months ago I posted to ask for advice about an upcoming Drs Appointment to discuss subclinical hypothyroid blood test results. I'd been on annual blood tests following a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism in 2013. Carbimazole brought results down and then into hypo, medication stopped and

Is there any point me testing FT3 levels 4 hours after dosing,ie peak T3 to satisfy neg Endo that im not overdosing?
Hi Everyone, Ie if 4 hrs in and my T3 is below 6.8 NHS range ,then I am not overmedicated am I ? Its true I havnt found my sweet spot, and my TSH is just below NHS range. at 0.08. But my T4 is 15.3 and T3 5.8 ,both in NHS range , so how can that be overmedicated if these two are 'in the accepted range

Need advice in adjusting dose
I hope everyone is making progress in finding their sweet spots. I’m here again, needing help once more. I’m only able to stay healthy forever 2-3 weeks at any one time. Can’t seem to maintain good thyroid health for too long. I’m very frustrated and feel like I’m heading towards a dead end street!

New to this group
Hi all,I have hashimotos and hypothyroidism and have been a member on the thyroid forum for a while. It's been suggested I post on here for some interpretation of some bloods. I have been tested for PA but was told it was normal, but I'm sceptical given what I've read and what I'm experiencing. Apologies

Best vitamin D without prescription?
Hi all,Just a quick question really. I keep getting low vitamin D (33 to 38) is usual, which my GP usually addresses with a prescription, but he has put a note on it this time advising me to buy it myself once l have finished the 3 month course to maintain acceptable levels. However, there is no recommendation

Distribution of medication and supplements throughout the day.
In my efforts to optimise the effect of C/L medication and oral supplements, I would like advice on this, to promote positive drug / supplements interactions if possible and to prevent any negative interactions. For example, I am familiar with the interaction carbidopa <> B6, but what is the best time

Vitamin K2 - oil
I've been using Vitamaze Vitamin K2 but I need to order a replacement and it's out of stock. What other K2 products are people using? I don't want one with Vitamin D in it. I liked the oil version. Darn it!

Taking Ferrous Sulphate Exhausts Me, Any Alternatives?
Hi All, In February 2023 I requested a blood test from my GP as I felt generally awful. I had muscle and joint pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, irritability, hair loss, overall skin sensitivity and moderate acne that scarred. I was also losing my evenings as my body was so tired, I’d nap for hours

Happy Days are here again - PSA post IMRT
Hey y'all, I had labs done at AIS as I was there for a post op check after the 28 IMRTs. T under 10 and PSA dropped again from 5.2 to
3.89

,
but I normally go thru Kaiser and this was Quest Labs. I think Kaiser sends out PSA to another lab. This PSA is the lowest in a year PTH
