Taking Vitamin C
This might seem a daft question but I need to increase my iron & read I should take it with 100mg of VitC. How do I take 100mg of VitC? All the tablets are 1000mg. The average tangerine is 50mg & not what I’d choose to eat at night. Do I buy a VitC powder?

advice, thoughts please, feeling rather desperate?!
hi I only got one response to my recent post which was so kind but no feedback so am trying again as I’m a bit stumped. I’d hoped going on NDT would relieve fibro symptoms and generally help me feel better, and give me more energy, but despite latest test results I don’t feel that much different. Certainly

Ropinerole to Gabapentin
I have received much guidance and helpful information in these posts. My questions are related to a medication switch. I have been on Ropinerole for 3-years and am currently at 2 mg which I take a few hours prior to sleep. After reading all the stories in these posts, reading the experiences of augmentation

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

Ferritin
Please can you remind me of lowest Ferritin levels acceptable for RLS sufferers. My last reading was 60, having gradually come down from 400 following an infusion. I had to fight for that infusion(level was then in the 20s.) I only managed to get it because the mother of a locum I saw was high up

How often to increase t3
I started on 6.25 mcg of t3 and increased by 6.25 every 5-7 days. I've been on 31.25 mcg for 2 weeks now and feel exactly the same= dreadful. Shall I keep increasing or wait? I'm also taking 50 mcg of t4. I'm monitoring and taking iron, b12 and vitamin d. I was also taking selenium but stopped now.

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

I have AF but it’s controlled so far with daily flecainide and bisoprolol. I get a three monthly blood test for iron overload but this week the doctor advised me to get a cholesterol blood test as well. All of my results for cholesterol were within the ranges but my doc advised that it’s recommended

Grandad is 86 and his iron levels have been dropping rapidly.He had a CT scan the other week and was called in to speak to a consultant at the hospital today. A Mcmillan cancer nurse was also there. He was told that there was something on the right hand side of his colon but they don't know what. So

High platelets update….opinions please…..
