Blood test results: what to do next plus should I tell my endo?
Thanks everyone for your advice here over the last months. I’ve been on 125mcg Levothyroxine and 10mcg T3 for 7 weeks now (up from 100mcg three days and 125mcg four days) and did this blood test last week, following your protocol: TSH: 0.01 (0.27 - 4.2) FT3: 5.5 (3.1 - 6.8) FT4: 21.6 (12 - 22) Iron

Can someone please help me answer the Why questions?
I am 81 and never had the advantage of a university education. I feel I really need to try and understand some questions about my RLS and PLMD if I am ever to be able to manage this disease. I read on this forum that experts think that a major cause of RLS is lack of sufficient iron in the blood circulating

Possible underactive thyroid?
Hi everyone, I'm new here and would love some advice from people who actually know what they're talking about as I currently feel like I'm being fobbed off by everyone! I am 42 years old, and have struggled with symptoms that I have always considered to be thyroid related but every NHS test came back

Just a Ropinerol update
I'm now on 1.5mg from 6mg and starting to struggle. I had my bloods doneand my ferritin level was pretty low, so my GP has started me on iron. I'm also taking magnesium too. I've found having an electric blanket really helpful. It seems to be relaxing to my nerves. I'm starting to jerk a bit now throughout

Anyone here on hydrocortisone and thyroid meds?
Hey all, Started hydrocortisone trial today as I'm having trouble tolerating thyroid meds and my morning saliva cortisol was 7% range, early afternoon was 9%, the rest was good. Any success stories? How much hydro do you take and your thyroid dose? I'm currently just trialling hydro, 10-7.5-5-2.5 mg

Advice after possible Covid
Hi all, I've been horribly ill with what is probably Covid (no positive LFT test but typical weird breathlessness, fluid lungs, fatigue, dizziness and all the rest). However, three weeks later and a course of antibiotics, and I'm still feeling rotten - massive fatigue, pains everywhere, dizziness

Blood work
I recently got my blood tested so I could check for ferritin levels and my ferritin was at 329. I had gotten my blood test a year ago when I first saw the doctor for RLS but they’d didn't test ferritin levels at that time. My doctor just messaged me about my new results and said my results showed elevation

Success Story (so far, anyway)
I've had RLS for decades, starting in my 30s. Was on carb/levidopa for a while till it became no longer effective, then switched to Roprinirole, which worked just great, but had to keep upping the dosage to keep it's effectiveness. At 4MG of Roprinirole, I was running out of options, did some research

Role of Dopamine and Brain Iron stores
How is it known/thought that dopamine plays a role in RLS? So, is there a test for this or research to confirm scientifically that it is playing a role? Also, how is it known/ thought that brain iron stores play a role?

optimal bloods?
Looking at my bloods I think they are near enough spot on? (Any input would be great). However I still feel terrible with severe fatigue & body aches. I am taking vit D, multi vit, iron (heme) and going to restart cortex adrenal. As my cortisol is coming back low. currently on 1 1/4 grain armour

Getting Desperate!
First time poster here! I'm from North Mississippi and I'm needing advice. I have had RLS since 2010 and once I finally got the meds right after diagnosis, I have had very little issues with it. I first tried gabapentin with no relief, then Mirapex with no relief, then Requip worked like a charm.

What now, totally lost and scared
I was all ready to start self injecting B12 having done much research and received helpful advice on here, received supplies and got my first jab done at a clinic. I doubted my GP would consider injections as my total serum B12 was 747ng/L (200-900) 3 months ago so decided to go this alone. Very low

Vitamin D and Anemia: Insights into an Emerging Association
Found an interesting study. The conclusion sold it for me. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4659411/ CONCLUSION Vitamin D is associated with anemia in various study populations and recent evidence suggests that the association may differ by race and is likely specific to anemia of inflammation

Reassurance about taking T3 during pregnancy
Hi All I’m just looking for some reassurance if anyone else has continued on T3 during pregnancy. When I tested positive my ft4 was 17.5 (12-22) but my ft3 tanked from 4.4 to 3.1(3.1-6.8) and all my hypo symptoms were terrible. (Previous ft4 was17.1 and ft3 4.4 so I was still probably under medicated

Need your advice, pls, what should I take and how?
Hey all, I've been on a bit of a journey, unwell for the past few years, diagnosed 2012, did awesome on thyroid meds until...I didn't. Since I have now all cofactors optimal (vit D, B12, folate, iron, ferritin - after iron IV, magnesium), I feel my problem either stems from cortisol issues or balance
