Iron panel results
In early Sept my ferritin came back: 25.9 (10-291) so I asked for an iron panel. I am a bit confused by the transferrin result as I have read that if low iron then transferrin should be high? Mine is below range. Oct 22: Ferritin: 28.9 (10-291) Iron serum: 13.7 (9-30.4) Transferrin: 2.42 (2.5

Is it all about the range?
Hi everyone I was just reading up on thyroid globulin antibodies as I had a test done by Medichecks in Aug 2022 which had me within normal range and I was wondering whether people without thyroid problems had these antibodies too.
Thyroid Globulin Antibodies (TgAb) 48IU/L (reference <115)

Constipation ....
Sooooo, while there are some things which are considered "unmentionable", they are often the things where a chat can be very helpful. Many of us are on heavy pain medications, most of which cause constipation. Personally, I can go eight days and end up with nausea and stomach pain. Yes, I have tried

Hello everyone. My long awaited appointment at the gp surgery finally arrived and I was seen by a somewhat inexperienced health care assistant who suggested I drink a glass of tonic water before bed to help with my RLS! When I tried to explain my research, this forum and the Mayo Clinic algorithm

Muscles in lower back all rigid and locked up
Hi, the muscles around my lower back have been locked up for a few weeks now. I find using an electric blanket has helped. I also use "winter green' (methyl salicylate) sports rub, with limited effect. Taking a couple of Ibuprofen and a co-codamol help too, but it's still very immobile and limits

Supplements for iron
I have had the following blood tests: Serum ferritin level 41 ug/L [10.0 - 322.0] Serum folate level 23.5 ug/L [5.4 - 24.0] Should I take some iron tablets to boost my ferritin levels and if so what dosage should I be taking?

Weeks in pain and return of lack of Spoons
For weeks now, with all the jiggery pokery with my Pred and Hydrocortisone , I've been in constant pain unless I take the French equivalent of Co-Codamol x 3 per day. I have finally kicked the Hydro, after the last week on alternating days and I think now 2 days free. Pred is at 8mg which is where it

levothyroxine/Teva/mannitol
hi everyone.. It’s just come to my notice that Levothyroxine which I’ve been taking for about 25 years or so contains “mannitol “ As I have very bad restless legs for about the same amount of years and getting worse … I was wondering how long mannitol has been in levothyroxine ? Also.. would it affect

RLS/PLMs and treatment
I would like to share information concerning my health particularly in relation to RLS/PLMs hoping that others with the condition may be helped. My experience of RLS could go back to my teens when, whilst seated and playing cards with my brother, we would both be moving our legs quite rapidly, toes

Iron supplementation
I apologize, I have been looking at past posts but having trouble finding the best answer. I most likely have RLS, and doc wants to increase my Ferritin to 100. They recommend iron but don't say what kind, or how best to take it. Other then that the Neurologist was fantastic. So I was hoping some

What do these blood test results mean, please.
These are the results of the blood tests I had done earlier this month. My doctor didn't tell me to fast beforehand, but thanks to advice from this site I had fasted for the previous 12 hours. The doctor has now told me that no action needs to be taken, but I note that one of the readings shows that

Co-codamol and RLS
Evening everyone I’ve just been diagnosed with diverticulitis so now have a course of antibiotics to deal with it. I’ve also been prescribed with co-codamol for the pain. I don’t want to risk having what Tramadol has done to my RLS so was wondering if there are any known issues for people with RLS

British National Formulary - Confusion

Got to take the wins!
I’m over the moon and I feel the need to share as it’s you lovely people that have encouraged me not to give up and to fight for my health. I went to see a gastroenterologist for the first time today (private). I was ready for an argument because every doctor or consultant I’ve ever seen seemed to
