Repost with more info: peripheral neuropathy
Thanks to Marion and Esperanto for helping me to provide more information. All questions answered here... (Original post question: my Movement Disorders Specialist (MDS) says foot numbness is not Pripheral Neuropathy, but rather a non motor symptom of Parkinson's??? ) I'm in my 10th year with PD symptoms

I was starting to feel a little better, then........
Following the advice given in reply to my first email 3 months ago and using all the knowledge I have learnt from the questions and answers in the blog, I spoke to my GP and she agreed that I should increase my Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg. She also suggested that I should try Magnesium in the evening

Difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite and clogged eustachian tubes.
It is known that a symptom of difficulty swallowing is associated with B12 deficiency. How I experienced it was not accepted by the medics I hired. At times usually at night I would aspirate/choke on food and sometimes fluid my whole life. This is often called having go down the wrong tube. It was

Saw Dr Klein at the Cambridge blood clinic.
So I finally saw Dr Klein, He says 100% I have pernicious anaemia and it’s quite bad. I have to inject ever other day for a year. Apparently my folate and ferritin is good. My vitamin D is also a tad low. My bladder issue could be to do with the Anaemia. Likewise it could be reversing out. He seemed

For anyone who is on T3 only... When did you realise you needed it?
Hi everyone. I've been on a real journey since January with Hashimoto's. I started on levothyroxine and it made me feel a lot worse. I started seeing a private thyroid doctor who looked at my bloods and saw my T3 had dropped on levo, and with my symptoms she decided levo was not right for me and put

Big Ferritin Drop in a Year (over 50%)
Not a thyroid question, but a ferritin question if anyone is able to advise? Apologies in advance that this is long, just trying to set the scene. Brief background - I have Hashimoto's and after many years am on T3 monotherapy. I am vegetarian, and take various supplements as recommended on here, and

Chat with GP. Disappointed.
So recent post my TSH is still high I feel at around 4 but just in range but I know and told him about the facts and figures for it and still having symptoms and declined an increase. I feel I should do it myself. .. I can’t afford to see an endo or such so pls don’t suggest. I don’t know what to do?

Recent blood test – Why do I feel so tired?
Hello, Please could you have a look at my recent blood test results and tell me what could be the cause of my constant tiredness? I find it hard to get out of bed in the morning and often wake up with brain fog. I often wake up during the night to pee. I often feel the need to fall asleep in the afternoon
