A loud, proud, lonely ride
She's rickety, an old yellow school bus no one knows how to fix With loose, rattling seats A freed bolt vibrating on the metal floor Rattling loud and groaning, a teeth clenching ride It's the prednisone in the gas that keeps her running And even though she ain't what she used to be She's my only

Moviprep and hashimotos
Hi. I have the delightful experience of a colonoscopy to look forward to. On the prep info it says that people with thyroid disease should check with their gp before taking the stuff. Has anyone used this prep?

Hashimoto's patient feeling exhausted: full blood results, any advice?
Hello all, I've posted before and was advised to get a full set of blood tests and post the results here for the Thyroid experts :) to look at and advise on what else I might try to combat my fatigue. Here goes (blood taken Monday this week): ! Serum TSH level - (NWM2358) - Abnormal but improved

Recently diagnosed with Low B12 / Folic acid levels
Hello Everyone, I would just like to post my story on here and get some advice from like-minded people with more knowledge than myself. For some context on myself, I am a 23 year old Male from the UK. Around three weeks ago, I was diagnosed with low b12 and folic acid levels, this was off the back

IMPORTANT: Nicotinamide riboside (or NAD+ or Tru Niagen) may be involved in neoplastic and metastatic processes
Some of us were taking nicotinamide riboside for RLS. A few days ago a paper was published with data suggesting it could be involved neoplastic and metastatic processes. Hence, please take this in consideration if you were taking nicotinamide riboside. Here is the reference: A bioluminescent-based

Seemingly a sudden drop in ferritin but is it really?
15/08/22 Ferritin 236ug/L (13 - 150) Quite a bit over range, so I’m puzzled that a mere 12 weeks later - 16/11/22 - according to the new reference range it has suffered a significant drop to 39% through Yes, I immediately stopped iron supplementation but I continued with acerola to aid with food

hydroxycobalamin and light exposure
Hello all, I am careful to store my hydroxy ampoules in a dark, temperature controlled place. How critical is it that the serum is temporarily exposed to light while drawing it up and injecting? My husband helps me but he thinks I worry too much about what is a couple of minutes of exposure to light

Blood test results advice
Hi I have untreated hypothyroidism/hashimoto's (with a goiter) and am feeling absolutely awful. I am tingling all over, am breathless sometimes, have hair loss, palpitations aching joints, and am very very tired. Also, I keep getting hot/sweating, which I understand isn't typical with Hypo symptoms

Iron Infusions
An interesting article on iron infusions and when they should be considered for the general population.It mentions that inflammation can stop iron absorption. It also confirms that newer iv iron formulations are much safer with very low risk of adverse side effects. Most GPs will say iron infusions are

First Ever Prescribed Injection: My Thoughts
I had my first ever b12 injection at my GP a couple hours ago. The nurse asked which arm. I chose my right. It stung a bit, but not too bad. I was given a spot plaster and sent on my way. I’m not going to exaggerate and state that I feel a tangible difference, but I do feel somewhat more steadfast and

is there a good time of day to take your b12 shot
So we have been given permission to do B12 shots at home combined with 200 mg ferrous sulphate and 20,000 of Vit D by our GP who will be doing further diagnostics in the mean time...the one thing I forgot to ask him is if there is a good time of day to take the B12 shots...morning, before bed, before
