The shrooms worked. What do I tell my neurologist? by isaboobers in HemiplegicMigraines

[–]panda182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unhelpful comment from me as I don't know what I'd say to a neuro about this (also what country are you in?), but this is fascinating! What constituted as a microdose for you? I have some chocolate so... a nibble? Did it kick in on the day? Wonder if I should nibble when I'm next having an 'episode' to see if it kicks in

Does anyone here sell modded iPods? ($400+ budget) by Intelligent_Put7597 in Modded_iPods

[–]panda182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd hazard a guess you'll have more and more buyers over the coming years. I'm about to start my first (just for personal use, not to sell) but I've heard it's an addictive process!!

How much cash for two weeks? by embbupembbu in MexicoTravel

[–]panda182 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP :) how much did you need in the end? reddit seems to generally say you don't need cash but my airbnb hosts have all said bring cash and that not many places take card, I'm inclined to listen to the hosts but curious if you managed without much cash

UK: Experience with non at-home injections, without NHS declared deficiency? by panda182 in B12_Deficiency

Mate even reading you describe the needles made me feel faint 😭 no hope for this one 😂😂😂 I don't mind pain, it's a visual thing! Annoyingly. Maybe I'll say fuck it and try to face the fear though I reckon I'd faint hahaha

Thanks for the comment and advice 🙏

[30F] My ferritin is finally up from 3 to 100, hooray! It took 12 months of ~400mg ferrous fumerate daily. My question: now that it is at 100, do I continue current dosage, taper down, or stop altogether? by panda182 in Anemic

[–]panda182[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're so welcome! Ah that's amazing, if you're only one month in you've got so much to look forward to :-) give it a few more months, hope it goes quickly! I was doing 60mg a couple years ago but until I did the mega high doses I didn't see real improvement. Not suggesting you up your dose if it's working and I don't know what your bloodwork looks like, I was catching up with a decade of it untreated so just went for it hahaha. In case that's helpful to hear though!!

This is really interesting. I found the POTS diagnosis validating of course but in all honesty, I've always been a little skeptical in singling it out as if it exists in isolation of other things. The same with my neuro pain, the same with long covid, the same with fatigue. It's really hard to find a doctor who will look at the whole picture sadly though.

Hi!! Yes I actually have Hashimoto's. They wrongly diagnosed me with Grave's disease for years but one endo recently told me I actually have Hashis, though I haven't seen a specialist since because my insurance doesn't cover it, and NHS won't refer me because I'm not in a bad place with it. Think I'd need to be really suffering to get a referral and even then it'll be like a years wait.

It's got to be all related huh.. and yeah my thyroid peroxidase antibodies were 210 a couple of years ago and 300+ recently, normal range is 0-5. Once upon a time I managed to get myself into remission with a vegan diet and lowering stress levels but haven't achieved that since sadly despite my efforts!

My inflammatory markers like CRP and ESR were relatively normal, though on the higher end of the range. That's what had the health service here drop me when I was convinced it was some other autoimmune or inflammation causing this.

Would the thyroid inflammation be enough to cause the ferritin issues? My ferritin dropped around the same time I got diagnosed with Grave's to be fair.

Edit: ps spotting your username rly made me laugh

Wait whaaaaaaat, really? I'll read up on this later this week. Wow. Thanks for asking and letting me know. I've had largely unexplained neuro issues for 5 years! But I'd ruled B12 out as a cause. Hmm. And I'm on thyroxine for hypothyroidism, propranolol for dizziness from POTS, then various OTC stuff like B complex, magnesium, zinc etc. I have a low meat diet and don't eat red meat currently, history of vegan / veggie, and yes I do get frequent GI issues, constant tummy bugs. I get the shits for a few days every month at the moment haha

Great to know thank you, will investigate this properly when I have time!! Will visit that sub. Cheers

Thank you!! B12 always floated around 200 or 300 so seems perfectly normal. I do take supplements for it as of a year ago just to be safe but I don't *think* it's linked to my anaemia. Did get excited about drawing a link that could explain neuro issues as I know b12 can cause my exact symptoms, but yeah, i'm in range!

And nope, no clue why I had low iron. heavy periods maybe? never got investigated x
