Are my iron levels ok?
Hi. At last I have managed to get a blood test done for iron levels. Could you, Sue Johnson, please comment on them? I feel the ferritin is quite high, which should be good, but am not sure about the other results. Ferritin: 176.5. Ug/ L 10.0-291.0 Serum Iron 16.1. Umol/L. 9.0-30.4 Transferrin

Best Natural Treatment for Leg Pain
My husband who has recently been diagnosed with early-stage PD gets quite bad pain in one leg at night which disturbs his sleep apart from having to get up at least twice a night to go to the loo because of an enlarged prostate. I was wondering what people here take for similar pain which I undertand

Hi. I've just rejoined after a few years & would love to be part of the group again. I am struggling as we all are with this terrible Fibro. Yesterday, after yet another chat with my GP, he prescribed Pregablin. 50mgx 3 a day. I am already taking Co Codamol & Amitriptyline. I have read many negatives

Newbie to this group (hello!), iron overload and possible PA question :/
Hello all, I'm new to this group, I have autoimmune thyroid disease, but along with it have been looking at sorting out my iron and B12, so would like to share this here, apologies for the long post... I'm new to dealing with PA, please be gentle :) Recently I've been feeling pretty crap - the usual

HDR Brachytherapy
I’m resting up in my UK hospital bed after going through HDR-brachytherapy (as a monotherapy) the past two days, to treat intermediate stage (G3+4) PC. I had radiation delivered in two fractions, about 18 hours apart. People can obviously read up all about this treatment option online at various sites

B12 levels and hypothyroidism
This is a useful paper showing low B12 is associated with hypothyroidism. Another paper indicating vitamin deficiency that needs treating. And that GP's should know about it. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW Front. Endocrinol., 22 February 2023 Sec. Thyroid Endocrinology Volume 14 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389

Buscopan
Does anyone find Buscopan helpful? I've tried it, but only for a few days, so not sure if I should wait a little longer?My gp has also prescribed Co-dydramol, which works so much better than Co-codamol and Morphine. It does make me really constipated (I am anyway!) though. They all come with side effects

Anemia of Chronic Disease
My recent CBC yielded numbers that suggested I am anemic. My iron levels are normal and my B12 is also normal, albeit in the low range of normal. I was told that I have anemia of chronic disease caused by my thyroid condition (low functioning thyoid, maybe Hashimoto's). Anyone else have experience

Request for more levothyroxine following results from Medichecks
Hi all, I’m very upset as had a conversation ( more like a shouting match to be honest) with GP who is insistent that he won’t prescribe more levothyroxine as I’m within range ( after him asking me to send a copy of my medichecks results) because on my request I stated that I should be prescribed iron

Supplements for arthritis and rivaoxaban
Hi all My husband has paroxysmal AF and a pacemaker takes digoxin and Rivaoxaban. He has slight arthritis in both knees(too much playing hockey in his younger days!) and not bad enough to take painkillers all the time. Bothers him the most after sitting for a while and then moving again. Before his
