Iron Deficiency Help!
Hi. Back in January I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia and was put on supplements for 3 months, and then to have a follow up blood test a month after finishing the supplements. My ferritin has come up from 5 to 47 (range 30-148) and I was just wondering what sort of response anyone else who

Elevated liver enzymes
Hello everyone! I have liver disease (honestly I am still not sure if it is cirrhosis or not yet) for years but it is under control. AST, ALT and ALP were always a little elevated, but not too much and my doctor told me that there was nothing to worry. I am having blood tests quite often because I am

Caffiene - ever again?
My RLS with Augmentation story has been told and I have been given excellent advice. The Ferritin and Iron levels have been tested and found to be low, so the therapy is in place. My gabapentin dose is up to 1200 with 300 mid-day and 900 at bed-time. My lifestyle is slowly getting back on track.

Pramipexole / Pregabalin
After many years on Pramipexole and having reached the max dose (6 x 0.88mg), I suffered augmentation and visited my GP. The GP i saw was very sympathetic and started me on Pregablin whilst I reduced the dose of Pramipexole.. I managed okay(ish) until I got to 3 x 75mg of Pregabalin and 2 x .088mg

gabapentine queries
this may sound silly but hopefully understood. I have struggled alone with rls now for around a year and a half , gritting my teeth and trying ways to ease it. I don’t struggle all the time , it comes in episodes , some stronger than others. But I recently had enough and thought it was time to see the

Iron. So confused.
Hi all, I'm going crazy with trying to understand what is going on with my iron levels right now. I recently got a NHS iron panel test that came back high - suggesting iron overload to which my GP panicked, but critically they missed off serum ferritin as there was a national reagent shortage. Following

Abnormally high thyroid levels
Hi all, I 'd like some advice with these abnormally high test results. For the first time ever, my free T4 is out of range- too high-, and so is my Vit D. My TSH is also low, but I've had that before. I have Hashimotos and am on Levothyroxine 200mcg. My GP wants to reduce my Levo to alternating days

Blood Tests for Children
Hi all Finally managed to get blood tests for my children but annoyingly, my daughter was not tested for all cofactors - just B12. Son is being tested tomorrow and I want to give him a list to give to the nurse, but I can’t remember all the cofactors. Not one off my best days today! B12 Vitamin

Ferritin iron advice please
Hello, My recent ferritin results was 21% of range, even though iron was 78%. I did neglect iron the last few weeks a bit as I ran out of my usual iron tablets. I have now Solgar's Gentle Iron 20 and iron in a liposomal form (gel) 20 mg as well. How many should I be taking to raise it? Thank you

Timing your tea/coffee (even decaff) for best iron absorption from diet and supplements
Coffee with a hamburger meal found to reduce iron absorption from that meal by 39% and tea by 64% Having coffee one hour before a meal, no effect on absorption of food iron. Having coffee 1 hour after a meal had the same impact on absorption as having it during the meal. Link https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Pregabalin dose increase?
Hi, I am on Pregabalin 150 mg and still struggle with RLS, PLMD and twitching toes plus grinding teeth. Fortunately I have managed to get a super job and starting work tomorrow. Yippee 😁 Unfortunately, I will be starting work @ 7.00 a m. and it's full time. In the UK for some reason it's super hard
