hi I have been desperate for sleep but my RLS has been so bad that I’ve found it impossible I managed to get a GP appointment and told her my story and background and although she was sympathetic said the RLS I’d very difficult to control I told her I had no desire to go back on to a DA and my problems

Latest results and my plan...
Hello I am symptomatic of low B12 and/or Hypothyroidism. GP isn't concerned and advised me to take B12 supplements, but will retest Thyroid in 6 months time. My plan is to raise B12, Ferretin, Foltate, and Vit D to the top 25% of range and then see how I feel and redo TFTs. I am happy to pay

Safe to take Gabapentin for life?
I haven’t been able to find any reliable info on whether Gabapentin is safe to take for life (30+ years), specifically for severe PLMD with pain. My husband has this and has not started it yet, as his neurology visit isn’t until later this week. His case seems to be different than any we have read about

Cortisol and stomach acid influencing calcium absorption
I've been wondering about the main reasons of my severe osteoporosis, and have recently come accross two possible contributions: 1) High levels of cortisol due to long term psychological stress, and 2) Low levels of stomach acid that has impaired the calcium absorption. I took the test with natron

After Some Super Advice on This Forum
Firstly, thank you for all your advice on my last thread, needless to say I took it onboard and proceeded to get another blood test with the advised timings and vitamins etc. So once again I hope I can ask for your advice again, I'll post Januarys and now March's, they look better to me, but as I said

B12 very high with normal blood results?.
hey, hoping someone with some b12 knowledge can give me some advice for when I see my doctor. Last year I was having some b12 injections paid privately, my last one was in early August. They actually made me feel better, but had to stop because of cost. Then in October I started getting severe deficient

New Thyroid Results - Conversion Issue?
Hi, After an emotional Thyroid rollercoaster these past couple years (post partial thyroidectomy 12/2/21 in combination with an Endo who doesn't believe in compounded medication), I finally seem to be settling into a medication and dose that works okay. I'd have to say that I'm still a bit tired and
