Hi I’m looking for some advice on my recent bloods please, since my last test I dropped my levo back to 100mg a day and increased my lio by 5mg so I’m a little confused as to why my T3 has dropped🤷♀️the only thing I can think of is that I’ve been using Morningside lio for my 10mg dose in the morning

Concerned Wife
Hi, hope this is OK to post. My husband has had mild RLS for many years but last weekend his symptoms suddenly became extreme and constant, seemingly out of the blue. For context, he is 30, and has taken antidepressants for many years without any increase in symptoms. He has also been taking amipiprazole

NDT has raised my thyroid anti-bodies. What's next?
Hi All, As I just made a post with my update on NDT (good T3 and T4 levels, but TSH is 0.017, so too low), I received my latest anti-bodies results. And they went up! I've heard some people shared how their anti-bodies went up as well on NDT. Yes, I'm on a gluten-free, whole food diet, been on

Moderate mitral valve regurgitation/prolapse
Hi, everyone. I just thought I would post as I know I found this forum really helpful when I was first diagnosed with moderate mitral valve regurgitation back in April. My short history - I suddenly felt ill at work and thought I was going to pass out. Room spinning, dizzy. I had no other symptoms.

What TSH level is too low on NDT + low sodium
Hi All, I switched to NDT 6 weeks ago and have been dialing in my dose. I take Erfa NDT. I raised it up to 1 3/4 tablets, and have just tested my thyroid. I've read a lot of discussions here about NDT and TSH and from what I understand, from this big study when TSH gets lower than 0.3, it increases

Less symptoms but still RLS sleep issues

Last time my doctors checked my blood my ferritin level were in the normal range (around 140). Question is if I should continue taking

Serum Ferritin levels
I had a blood test last week and my serum ferritin level is 24 ug/L. It says the normal range is 10 to 291. As I have restless legs is this level ok or should I be taking iron tablets? It doesn’t mention my transferrin saturation numbers. Maybe if I call in at the doctors I could ask if they have

Could low iron be making me feel very unwell?
For the past 6 weeks I have had awful dizziness, tingling feet, feeling spaced and almost consents tinnitus. It’s got so bad I’m having to go to bed for chunks of the day and when I’m up I don’t feel very present. I’ve seen a neurologist, had an MRI and CT scan and a brain bleed was ruled out. The

RLS vs PLMD
I have severe PLMD. During my last sleep study, at which I only slept 4.5hrs, I had 512 recorded limb movements with 97 resulting in an arousal, giving me a PLM Index score of 108, with anything over 25 considered severe. Thankfully, I only rarely feel a little of the urge to move my legs when awake

Restless Legs Syndrome
I have RLS and take codeine 15mg at night. My ferritin level got too high last year so no longer on iron supplements. Wondering how successful ALA is and if it is what dose and what time to take it. Thanks in advance

Timing of NDT doses
I will be switching from Levothyroxine to NDT in the next few weeks. How do people manage to eat if we need to split the dose into 2 separate times, and leave 2 hours either side of taking an NDT dose, particularly avoiding magnesium, calcium and iron? So for example 9am breakfast followed by supplements

Supplement schedule query - which should be taken apart from others?
Hello! I've been SI since late 2017, but have changed my co-factor (and other) supplement regime over time - including recently re-introducing folinic acid, having become folate deficient. I've always had low ferritin and months ago started Simply Heme iron supplements, which are supposed to be easier
