Confirming blood tests needed to diagnose hyperthyroid (asking for my sister-in-law)
My sister-in-law told me that she recently was having trouble with excessive sweating... like, have to go home and change a drenched shirt kind of sweating. So as she said it in her words - She went to the general practitioner doctor, they did blood tests, and the numbers were low and so he's referring

iron transfusion
Hi I’m just wondering how long people in the uk have waited for an iron infusion. I requested an iron infusion months and months ago as I can’t tolerate iron orally. Unfortunately my doctor forgot to put me on the waiting list and only amended that about a month ago after I mentioning that I was waiting

Vitamin/supplements
Can I ask what vitamins would be useful to try to support healthy thyroid function. I know iron, and vitamin B12 are important, I wondered if a specific Thyriod supplement was useful. I found this one, does anyone else take this? https://heynutrition.com/products/thyroid-complex?_gl=1*1d25mkn*_gcl_aw

Iron tablets - difference?
I’m based in the UK and am currently taking Ferrous Fumerate (switched from Ferrous Sulphate) to try to increase ferritin levels. My Ferritin levels had gone up and now seem to have dropped a little for some reason - new tests being done soon. I don’t know if this Ferrous Bisglycinate is available

Oral iron regimen
I had an iron infusion (Newcastle uk) last December which put my serum ferritin up from 37 to 237, and helped considerably. However, it has gradually slipped back to 180, so I am hoping to start the oral gentle iron. Please can someone remind me of the best time to take these, and dosage. The tablets

D day is here!

Beta blockers
I'm 68, female with NASH/ Cirrhosis which is compensated. I have recently been prescribed 1.25 mg of Bisoprolol Fumarate (beta blocker) but I'm so anxious about taking it as my GP seemed unsure about any effect on my liver. I was wondering if any members take beta blockers with no ill effects? I'm also

Pramipexole, Mirtazapine and RLS
Hi,I suffered from RLS for 12yrs, but never took any medications. Earlier this year after discovering I had ferritin of 18, a short course of iron supplements increasing my ferritin to 55 resolved all RLS symptoms. A few weeks ago I unfortunately developed insomnia due to anxiety and GP commenced Mirtazapine

Escape from Augmentation
I have continued to make progress on my path to getting my dopamine receptors back to somewhere near normal. I last used a DA patch in September. I am using buprenorphine patches and pregabalin as RLS blockers to assist in the process. There is some improvement (perhaps 60%) in my sleep regime and in

Iron - test results - advice please
Hi - In a nutshell I'm hypothyroid with a lot of stomach issues - gastritis amongst other things - plus poor converter (I have the dud deiodinase enzyme - test done privately) I mentioned to the GP that I also get a bit out of breath - when I read about 'air hunger' on here it really struck a chord.

Low iron levels with a heart condition
Pre heart condition (pre 2021) my iron levels had always been really good (around 140 ug/L) but since then they've dropped massively (currently 32 ug/L). To make matters worse, I unfortunately had a bowel bleed in February 2023 resulting in need a blood transfusion. I was put on ferrous sulphate for
