Ah that's good to hear! Not doing so well here - tripped up in early Feb and ended up with a wrist sprain which has reactivated the neuralgia. It's been pretty painful. Tried all my usual tricks, no luck so have been taking amitriptyline hoping it'll numb the pain. I am also having physio which help...

I have just seen this thread.

Sorry to hear of your problems Scott1, are you feeling better now?

Well I am pleased that you are pleased! Good luck and thanks - tired of being tired!

You know, I am feeling the same too JL....why and how....??? Had the same thing in 2021. I have heard how it can be up and down with the thyroid meds. I hope it settles and you feel better soon. And taking iron every day sounds very sensible! Yes, I am taking it with OJ but may have to swap that to ...

Oh gosh, good luck.

My blood test results also showed v low serum ferritin - so that explains the exhaustion. Back on the ferrous fumarate and will ask docs about thyroid readings...and having to review my diet

Thanks JL. It is borderline I agree. It isn't just the readings, more so my symptoms. Good luck with the Es. I hope it comes together for you. Dr Andrew Huberman (who does some great podcasts) spoke about non-sleep deep rest & yoga nidra. He then produced a 10 minute video (not a yoga nidra one)...

Ok well that's interesting about the armour thyroid meds - it's not available in the UK. We only have the option of the synthetic version. My results are within range but I am so whacked and my TSH is 3.83 (range .3-4.2) and T4 13.4 (range 12-22) but it's the move for both towards the end of the ran...

Hi JL So here I am having picked up that earlier in this thread you mentioned being on a thyroid hormone. Sorry I didn't see that before :( I did a search and found this thread again because some blood tests done this week came back ok except my cholesterol was above 5. But on looking closer I see m...

I don't know if any of you ever follow his website/blogs. It used to be Barts MS (I think) but I found this recently.

There is a lot of info here - some not so easy to process but makes sense.

Thanks JL
Glad your mum is feeling better. I always wear masks on public transport but not in a public swimming pool

It was a positive test result - did a lateral flow test but it all made sense. It's the first time I caught covid so am hoping it's a mild one at this end of the pandemic.

Ha thanks Scott I did wonder how you managed that. Seems I have covid now - but will ensure I look up myotherapists again. I thought I had a bad reaction to the fluoxatine - must have been covid. Could barely walk, was dizzy and couldn't eat. Feeling a little better today although I think I need ano...

Ah good news!

She's a neuroscientist - Dr Lisa Mosconi

One of the published papers on her website - can send you the podcast too. There are others (https://www.lisamosconi.com/)

Thanks Scott The last local physio I saw said I knew more than his final year students - so like you I have gained much knowledge over the years. I don't have massages very often - there is nothing as sophisticated as a remedial masseur nearby and I've not heard of a myotherapist. Maybe it's because...

Thanks gents Well I have taken the first one. I'm taking them because I am depressed. I have tried so many other ways to change my life so that I can feel better about it, but those changes failed to happen. I was a naturally cheerful person but that has changed. I am still working on my mobility. I...

Hi I have had lot of issues recently and met up with one of my best buddies a couple of months ago. I hadn't seen her in 5 years as she's in Oz and covid......she asked whether I was on antidepressants. When you trust someone's eyes so much it makes you reflect - so I eventually looked into antidepr...
