Supplement absorption
I posted the other day about being newly diagnosed and I received loads of brilliant support and advice from people on here about supplements and lifestyle changes that can help with PD progression. I haven’t yet managed to do all the recommended reading but I’m working on it. I’m still looking into

PMRGCAuk Annual Meeting....I wasn't alone today~!!
After my dress rehearsal last week, I got up at 4:30 AM, Central Time in the States, and was the only person at the Zoom link. I'm thrilled to report that I remembered today, and there were quite a few people. It was wonderful to put faces to the names of HU staff, Trustees, and some 'soul sisters' from

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this

I know things have changed, just curious
12 years ago when I was diagnosed my biopsy came back at 4+4 =8. I was 62 yrs old at the time. I subsequently had surgery and they found the cancer was contained and I was downgraded to 4+3 = 7. I then went six years until I needed SRT, and have now gone 6 more years and my PSA is easing upwards again

Update to recent post "At 0.033 lesion identified by Pylarify PSMA PET"
Continuing on my patient-directed path of precision medicine investigation, scheduling second opinion of this imaging finding, an appropriate liver MRI and lesion biopsy. Note, it is possible this lesion is not prostate cancer, it may be something else of concern, maybe benign. Wish to share I remain

B12 Deficiency Video
This video does not address the need for B12 injections, it just recommends oral supplementation but I still thought it was interesting https://nutritionfacts.org/video/friday-favorites-the-symptoms-of-vitamin-b12-deficiency-and-optimal-dosage-for-adults/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=22b90fcb7d-RSS_VIDEO_WEEKLY

Titrating down EOD to E3D?
Going from SI every other day to every three--who's done it? And why did you decide to? Was it a successful reduction for you? Did you feel ok and did your symptoms remain at bay, or did flare ups happen that sent you back to EOD or daily? Trying to work out a way to budget my costs & time, so whether

Folic acid
If your folate levels are good, and you continue with EOD B12 injections, only taking folic once a week, what happens? Will you return to getting symptoms or does it mean the B12 just doesn’t get utilised as well as it should. I have been taking a B complex every day which has folate in it. Is the folate

Free T3 still low
Hi there I’m hoping someone can help. After my last test I asked my dr if I could increase my thyroxine as my conversion seemed poor. He said no. This is my latest test result. My T3 is the same but my T4 is higher. He now wants to reduce my thyroxine. I’m on 125mg and weigh 76kg I’m taking a 6000mg

Very belated intro
I've had rls since I was in my teens. I'm now 66 years old. About 6-7 years ago, I was finally diagnosed with RLS, and given a medication that I can't recall the exact name of, but it was something like lebadopa carbadopa?? Anyway, that worked very well for me at first, but after a few months it would
