Never ending insomnia please help!
I have been struggling with falling asleep, staying asleep, and overall quality of sleep for years. I can’t seem to find a medication or supplement that works well for me. I have tried melatonin (nightmares), valerian root (too many giant bad smelling capsules to take in order for it to work), magnesium

Has anyone had an iron infusion/injection and did you feel the benefits from this straight away
Well after seeing the Nephrologist yesterday they have said that I am anaemic and have to have iron infusion/injection not sure which now. I asked if it was related to my sore tongue (diagnosed as Geographic Tongue 6 months ago) and she said it was. Hopefully this will go away when I have had the iron

Ativan taper advice
A few people have asked for advice, so here are some key things to keep in mind.. 1. Do it with the help of a professional!! Ideally a psychiatrist, they’re more knowledgeable than you’re regular doctor. There are also addiction specialists and counselors if you feel addicted. 2. Only cut a dose a small

Co2 levels
Nephrologist visit this week and CO2 low. He added sodium bicarbonate. Can anyone explain more about this? Can it be diet related and how do I help it with what I eat?

I felt fine today. I felt fine yesterday and the day before that. And I'm expecting to feel fine tomorrow.
I can't remember when I last had a bad day. There was one morning last week when I woke up feeling low. But I did have some tough stuff to sort out, but by late morning I was feeling fine. I reckon I feel normal at least 95% of the time. My anxiety and depression are genetic so it's never going to

Liquid diet due to swallowing issues, any tips??
I posted on here before about some swallowing issues, unfortunately they have gone from bad to worse. I started having issues at the end of January which we at first thought may have been caused by my anemia, but it was not. Beginning of February/end of January doctor sent requests for more tests and

RLS and epilepsy
I posted recently about the surprise results from an EEG indicating that at 53 i have temporal lobe epilepsy. Learned that mom had seizures in the 1970s and has severe RLS. Son is 21 who also just came back with a positive EEG for epilepsy and is already showing signs of RLS. My armchair research has

Jaydess coil
Update on a post I made about 7 months ago. I tried out a Jaydess coil, which has been interesting. Background - I'm 29, never had kids. Suspected endo due to bad period pains and severe pain on pooing during my period. No laparoscopy. The reason I chose the Jaydess over the Mirena was its smaller size

Ascites or belly fat?
Is there a way to tell a difference in the two besides weighing yourself? My fiancé looks like he has put a bit of weight on in his belly and his face. His face was looking gaunt so I’m thankful for the weight but I’m worried it’s ascites coming back as he has stopped his diuretics a couple of weeks

What happens next?
A bit of history first... my mum has always had repeated chest infections and as long as I can remember she’s always choked on her food. About 3 years ago, she finally had scans done and they discovered a shadow on her right lung. They gave different antibiotics to try and clear up the infection she

Is she constipated?
Hi. My 9 year old a couple of years ago was impacted. Went through the regime of movicol and sodium picosulfate and then started to wean her off of it. Last month or so she’s been running back and forth to the toilet all the time. Sometimes every 10 minutes she’s in there. She says she needs a poo. When

Lamictal or Duloxetine
Hi I have long qt so can't take many meds. Took anitriptyline for years but had to come off I also have migraine aura and nerve disturbances. Neurologist reckons it's sodium channels. A short trial on gabapentin low dose worsened my depression. At least I got a little sleep though. So now I have insomnia

Is fasting necessary for NDT?
Is there the same fasting requirement with synthetic T4 as with NDT? The author of "Tired Thyroid" say that synthetic levothyroxine sodium requires gastric acid to cleave off the sodium ion to get thyroxine but that natural dessicated thyroid comes already as thyroxine and requires less acid. Therefore
