Baclofen and PLMD symptoms
About two months ago I strained my back lifting a swimming pool pump. My PLMD symptoms immediately increased. I began upping my dosage of Baclofen up to 80 mg some nights. My PLMD kept getting worse. My VA Dr ordered a CAT scan, which showed nothing wrong. I met with him after the results came back,

Help with PCOS inositol supplements (trying to conceive!)
Hi all! I've been diagnosed with PCOS in my teens. I had most of the symptoms on the list, no periods, acne, hirsutism, heavy bleeding when periods deign to appear. I lost count of how many different pills I took and had most of their side effects (apart from blood clots thankfully!). It got to a point

Escape from DA Augmentation
Thanks to the support of several contributors to this forum and especially Joolsg, LotteM, and my patient GP, I have been able to plan a route which seems at last to be positive and I feel I should post a note on my current situation. I am 3 months+ since my last DA rotigotine patch and at which point

do I need to stop Biotin containing supplements before a Blue Horizon iron status profile test?
I am testing my iron after very low ferritin results on a thyroid plus vitamins test ( I am seeing a Dr at private online clinic from the Thyroid UK list) In the past II had normal/high iron, so before I supplement I want to check all the iron indicators my question is: do I need to stop my b complex

Could it be MS?

Numb hands 😞
Hello, I have been suffering with numb hands at night and during the day for a while. They really hurt at night and wake me up. It seems that it's made worse by laying on my side and not so connected to the position of my wrists. Splints don't make much difference. Has anyone had anything similar and

Just a Ropinerol update
I'm now on 1.5mg from 6mg and starting to struggle. I had my bloods doneand my ferritin level was pretty low, so my GP has started me on iron. I'm also taking magnesium too. I've found having an electric blanket really helpful. It seems to be relaxing to my nerves. I'm starting to jerk a bit now throughout

Getting Desperate!
First time poster here! I'm from North Mississippi and I'm needing advice. I have had RLS since 2010 and once I finally got the meds right after diagnosis, I have had very little issues with it. I first tried gabapentin with no relief, then Mirapex with no relief, then Requip worked like a charm.

Blood Test Results/Niraparib
Hello everyone I was diagnosed with High Grade Stage 4 ovarian cancer in July 2016, and have since had chemo, then surgery, and then 2nd line chemo following a recurrence. After that, in September 2019, I was offered Niraparib, which has worked wonderfully for me! My GP has recently requested repeat

blood test-nutrients advice
Hi everyone! First of all, I have to say thank you. This is my first time posting, but I've been lurking around here for a while now and I have already learnt so much from this forum! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Nov 2021 and put on 25mcg levothyroxine. It has been a slow battle to get doctors

ferritin
so my ferritin is at 29 and my restless legs are bad so from what I read I should work on increasing my levels. My question is my levels have been lower than this before and I didn’t have any symptoms of restless legs , so does this mean raising my ferritin levels won’t work ?

Macrocytic Anemia?
Hi, I am posting here for my Mom. She had blood work every year with perfect results until last year in September when the Hemoglobin/RBC/Hemocrit started dropping. She never had anemia before. In March of this year MCV and MCH started going up and be higher then normal. I took her to a hematologist

SCT update
I’m now on day +284 & so far seem to be progressing well. I know things may change, but hopefully I’ll continue to progress. I’m managing to walk most days, weather permitting, although I do get tired in the evening. My tablets are now being decreased & my hair is growing back grey & curly - not happy

B12 and Ferritin results
Just had blood tests and results for B12 are 201 (110-900) and ferritin 59 (30-337). Am I right in thinking these should be higher?

Help with blood test results, please.
I was diagnosed with B12 Deficiency with Pernicious Anemia in 2018. I was given the six loading doses and injections every 12 weeks. After about two years I was able to get them changed to every 8 weeks. Although that did seem to help I am still not feeling myself. I keep track of all of my blood
