B1 Therapy for Parkinson's
My wife was diagnosed with Parkinson's 4 years ago aged 64 and is finding walking and balance becoming increasingly difficult. My father who died aged 79 also suffered from Parkinson's I myself may be displaying early indicators of Parkinson's having developed a very poor sense of smell around 8 years

Chronic inability to fall asleep/maintain/resume sleep and electric shock sensation.
Hi everyone,Hope we're doing better today. I have been on methyl cobalamin capsules (meconerv forte) for three months now. I was on 1 tablet (1000mcg) daily. I didn't notice much improvement and the doc increased to 2 tab(2000mcg) daily. Fatigue improved but I still have chronic insomnia, anxiety, depression

R-alpha Lipoic Acid
I read in the Autumn 2023 ME Association magazine that R-Alpha Lipoic Acid could be helpful for someone with ME. I use Methotrexate for my RA. Has anyone used this supplement with Methotrexate?

Alendronic Acid
I’ve been diagnosed with Osteopenia. About 7 months ago I was given vitamin d and calcium tablets which I am fine with. I was also given Alendronic acid which makes me feel very lethargic for a couple of days after taking. Has anyone else experienced this. I’m virtually at the point of deciding not to

supplements to help DA withdrawal
I am wondering if anyone has used natural supplements like amino acids to increase dopamine while tapering off Pramaprexole? I have wondered if it would help with the decrease in dopamine while tapering. Also has anyone used Modafinil with any luck in helping energy and mood?

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower TSH - but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted. I know I need to my levels on the lower side due to previous thyroid

Active b12 versus serum b12
My Medichecks active b12 is 63.1 (range is 37.5-188) but my serum b12 tested at my gp surgery shows top of range. Should I supplement? I also have hypothyroidism. Thank you

Serum b12 V Active b12
I’ve just received my active b12 result from Medichecks. It was 63.1 yet my recent serum b12 from my GP surgery was over the top of the range. Over the years I have always had top of range serum levels . Should I supplement with vitamin b12? Thank you

How to persuade TSH-obsessed Endo I'm not over-replaced (on T3-only)?

Get off T3 immediately or
