Cod liver oil
I want to take cod liver oil to help my arthritis but am worried it might affect my acid reflux. Has anyone taken it and had any positive or negative effects on their acid reflux?

Can anyone help me with hair loss?
The picture is from a hair wash this morning. It comes out in little clumps each time I rinse my hair. I have hypothyroidism and had my thyroid out 8 years ago. I take thyroxine 150mcg and have blood tests every 6 months to check my levels. I've been given ferrous sulphate 200mg and take this every day

Acalabrutinib
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I started on Acalabrutinib in February 2022 after being in remission for 12 years. Unfortunately I started getting awful headaches, sickness, palpatations, confusion, itching, pain and blood pressure shot up. Eventually was taken off all the other drugs I was taking (Allopurinol

Anyone know about Globulin levels
Anyone had experience of “low globulin” count when having a blood test? Had my monthly Methotrexate blood test last Tuesday, the GP rang me Wednesday afternoon to say my globulin count was a bit low & with my “Rheumatoid factor”. Of course he didn’t explain what it was & when I asked what needed to be

Fed up with pain
I haven’t been officially diagnosed with IBS and have been fine for months and in the last month have had a flare up.

Help with bloods please including iron levels.
Bloods taken last week in the morning before Levo or any other medication at 8.50 in the morning. I’m currently taking 200mcg and 212.5mcg alternative days. As Aristo brand. Still getting a few palps and still very tired. Would I benefit from t3 if so why as need support as endo not wanting me to take

To continue or not....that is the question
I started treatment in July 2021 after 18 months on W&W. Initially I was treated with Obinutuzumab but I had a severe reaction to the first 20mg and ended up in the A&E resuscitation ward. I was then swopped to Rituximab and Venetoclax, which was explained as normally being a second line treatment which

Iron /Ferritin Level and Menopause
Hello Everyone...Quick question. Is it necessary to test your iron and ferritin if you no longer have a menstrual cycle? The GP who is filling in for the regular GP stated that since I no longer have a period, that I could not be anemic due to low iron/ferritin. This does not make sense to me , so

Are my expectations too high?
I was diagnosed 15 months ago. I was started on prednisolone then added methotrexate then sulfasalazine then abatacept. I am now taking all four plus co codamol and naproxen occasionally. I would have expected to be able to function but my hands are still very stiff and painful and am very fatigued.

We often see members asking about pharmacies which offer some form of consultation before prescribing and supplying prescription-only or pharmacy medicines. This story is about one with a very questionable way of working:

High ferritin levels
Good evening one and all - and in advance I want to wish you all a happy new year, one that is healthier for us all. My serum ferritin level has gone up even further and I just wondered if the PMR/Pred etc has anything to do with it? I should add that I do have an abnormal inherited gene (a carrier

8 days post ablation
What a week?! I had an RF ablation at the start of last week but felt, what I thought, was excessive pain in my chest (particularly when lying on my back) 2/3 days after but just stuck with it thinking it was a standard recovery symptom for RF as I’d only had cryo done before. However on Thursday night

Low iron first time in years despite supps
Hello, I just had an iron panel done as it turned out my iron is 4% of range.... 55 (50-170)! Ferritin better at 30% range, but still not great. I used to take Floradix and my iron was over midrange on it, then took 60 mg Actiferol (ferric pyrophosphate) in powder from the pharmacy for couple of months

Holistic treatments
Morning all, So am waiting a lap to confirm suspicion of endo. Stopped Pill 3 years ago to try for a baby. 2 years ago got diagnosed with a 6cm cyst with blood but not a endometrioma. Interestingly the male SHO told me it was small and shouldn't have been in so much pain - only found out it was 6cm

Iron Supplements for those very sensitive to gluten
Hi, I'm being prescribed iron supplement (ferrous sulphate). GP assures me it is gluten free but GPs and Pharmacists don't understand gluten in ingredients. The pharmacy is not answering their phone when I call to find out the brands they have so I can do my own check. Any pharmacy prescribed brands
