How to add adrenal support (on NDT)
I think I need to add adrenal support to my NDT but looking for some help on the practicalities and open to ideas about whether this is my problem. Specifically, do I need to stop NDT first? If so, how slowly should I taper off? I'd really like to spend as little time as necessary feeling so hypo!

Getting adequate bone minerals without milk or yogurt
I'm 66 and have osteopenia. I took calcium and Vitamin D for many years because I've always hated milk and yogurt. I have some digestive problems now and can't take calcium. I try to eat green veggies, and I eat cheese, but I worry about my bones. I tried calcium hydroxyapatite but got constipated.

Very confused by blood test results - grateful for help please
Hi All, Further to my previous posts, I continue to be very unwell, with my main symptoms being severe fatigue and disabling cognitive symptoms. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I do also have a diagnosis of CFS/ME (for what that is worth) which has fluctuated in severity for the last 22 years

Heart-healthy foods.

On Thyroxine - 8 weeks bloods shows TSH has dropped but still feel dreadful.

Next steps/where to get active b12 test?
Quick background: B12 deficiency (152) in 2017, negative IFAB, received 2x 3 monthly injections then taken off them. Investigating various symptoms now, recent bloods show drop in B12 from December 2022 (455) to now (206). Doctor saying I just need to take a multivitamin with B12 in, but I am not convinced

Help with Folate
I am now having B12 injections. I ordered Folate that SlowDragon said. It says do not take with anti epileptic tablets, which I take for neuropathy. I also need a B complex and Ferritin. I also take Zopiclone (sleeping tablet), Diazepam (Valium) and I think these supplements interact with these drugs

Wildly different results 1 month apart!?
Hello all, I had my bloods re-done at Medichecks, and I am so baffled. I also convinced my GP to provide me with the ranges for the tests I had done in June so I could compare them. Has anyone else had such differing results? I almost feel as though one of these was not from me! I stopped my B12 two
