Can anyone offer some help regarding my Ferritin levels for my RLS please.
Hi! I'm after some support and recommendations please. I started running as my BP has gone into high range. Unfortunately, shortly after, I started to get RLS at night. I donāt know if exercise and RLS are linked, but I need to continue to exercise, to help manage my high BP and Hba1c. Unfortunately

Another! GP appt. Tips for making the best of it please?
I posted on Monday about my experience of not having my low but still apparently "normal" vit B12 etc levels not taken seriously and ignoring the fact I have a lot of symptoms of pernicious anemia (I've also posted on the PAS forum, but there are far fewer people on there). https://healthunlocked.com

blood results
Hi all, hoping for some help! I was sent for an mri for consistent blood results suggestive of pituitary issues. It revealed an empty sella. I was referred to endo/neurology. They did tests - no problem with my pituitary. I had consistent blood results showing very low TSH with low/mid level t4 and

Women are not taken seriously by most doctors when experiencing health problems.
I went through a really rough time a couple of years after I had my first child when I was about 31 years old. I had never experienced PMT prior to the birth. I was lucky. However, I became aware of gradual fatigue, and anxiety, and hot flushes. I went to my GP to ask if I could be going through the

Do I need to stop taking estrogen? Feel as if I'm choosing between mental and physical health.
So I've read a lot now- probably too much. From what I can gather from things (and I am new to this - didnt know I had endometriosis until Tuesday when they aborted my hysterectomy as my bowel is fused to my cervix) estrogen seems to be the driving force behind endometriosis. Is that true? It also seems

Help with supplements please
On the advice of greygoose who has said that my B12 is dangerously low despite being in the "normal" range, I'm posting to ask how I should be supplementing and what brands of supplements people recommend. This is on the basis that whilst my energy levels are slightly improved on the levo, my neurological

Over range copper and zinc
The only culprit I can think of is milk thistle. Any thoughts on over range copper and zinc? About a 10 months ago, zinc was low-ish and copper slightly over so I supplemented zinc for a short while but stopped a couple of months ago. Then the week before last started with milk thistle for liver support

Blood results, what do they mean?
I now have my full blood results:- Ferritin 67 (previous 50) Transferrin saturation index 64% (previous 48%) Se Iron 35umol/l (previous 25) Can someone tell me what these results mean? Can Sue/Joolsg shed any light on these results after 3 months of iron?

Mucinous Ovarian Tumour
Hi. I recently had a total hysterectomy following a scan showing an ovarian cyst. The report showed stage 1a mucinous ovarian tumour on my left ovary. I had subsequently had blood tests - CA125, CA19-9, liver, kidneys and full blood count, all of which were normal. I now have conflicting advice from

query about pred and surgery
I am having a total hip replacement later this month, and had my pre-op assessment this week. After some deliberation the nurse told me that I should not take my pred the morning of my op (my admission time is 11am, I presume for an afternoon surgery). I will see both the surgeon and the anaesthetist

think Iāve found my trigger.
I have posted on here before asking for advice. Have always suffered on and off but the last 18 months have been awful. Saw a dctr last year who just gave me sleeping tablets, saw a dctr a few weeks ago who gave me pramipexole but after reading on here and other sites about the side effects decided

Sourcing Thybon Henning

How long
I have osteoarthritis and waiting hip replacement. The last couple of months Iāve been in agonising pain not only in that hip but ringer down to my knees on both legs to the point Iāve been having to use 2 sticks wen I stand up and take my first few steps. I have no cartilage left in my hip joint and

scared
Iām nearly 2 years on from a triple bypass and now need 2 full knee replacements. I can have them done when I like as Iām fortunate enough to have private healthcare. But I am so terrified of yet more surgery. Family and friends keep telling me it will be a āwalk in the parkā compared to what I had before
