Serum transferrin too high
Hello there, I haven't posted for a while as I am fine. Since taking T3 all my various ailments have disappeared on the whole. Very fortunate as since my husband died during the first lockdown, it is just me with 3 children. This is about my daughter, 14, very tired, put on 2 1/2 stone in 2 years

When is surgery necessary?
For the last few years I've had very heavy periods - annoying, but manageable. For the last 12 months I've had really bad bloating in my stomach on and off - annoying, but manageable. For most of last year I had an on/off dull ache near my left ovary - annoying but manageable. Since November the dull

Cancer again
Has anyone gotten a secondary cancer while on W & W ? I had breast cancer two years ago and had a lumpectomy with no chemo or radiation. My cancer is now back in same breast. Thinking of a mastectomy this time but still concerned that the CLL might be an underlying cause. Any comments would be very

INR problems
On Warfarin for 5 years still I broke my ankle followed by DVT. My INR level should be between 2.0 & 3.0 but has been erratic sometimes too and sometimes too low. I had a Total Gastrectomy 30 years ago and was wondering if malabsorption is causing the problem.

B12 injections and iron
Had labs done today in preparation for my hematology check up next week. My ferritin has increased slightly, but my iron , TIBC, and sat % have all decreased slightly. Also my MCV increased and my WBC decreased. Most are still in range, but I know ranges aren't always optimal (and my hematologist

OPTIMAL TEST LEVELS ?
Can someone please briefly address my recent test levels. Please be aware I am decidedly unscientifically minded and find it hard to follow the science…and certainly to retain it ! So ..please give me numbers… I can’t quite get the whole iron picture ..serum iron, transferrin and serum ferritin… But

Blood test results - please help!
So I had my bloods taken this week as I'm still struggling really bad with constipation and hair loss, as well as cold legs and feet. Here are my results. I think I need to up my iron, B12 and folate but if anyone can spot anything else that would be really helpful. My iron does look in range but i know

Large Fibroids and upcoming surgery
I have read a few things on here about fibroids and what you all been through. I have had a difficult journey with doctors to get here, they have messed up and in so many words admitted it. I have surgery to have a total hysterectomy, I am really struggling with this. Has anyone else had a hysterectomy

Severe knee arthritis
Hi everyone. I have bone on bone compartmental arthritis in both knees and have been told I need total knee replacements. I’m keen to avoid surgery if possible so am researching other ideas. Has anyone tried red light therapy and if so does it provide any pain relief or regeneration of cartilage etc.

Low TIBC and low ferritin
Hi folks! I'm working on improving My ferritin levels (8, then 14, then 20). I've been taking iron supplements for the last 4 months but it seems i'm improving REALLY slowly. I'm worried, though, because my TIBC has always been low (240 on a 245-450 range). Does that mean I should take lactoferrin together

If anyone can help my dad interpret these numbers it might enable him to ask some intelligent questions when GP calls next week. Thanks
Hello again! I’ve asked a lot of questions on here lately and have received some really helpful and sound advice. This time I hope you can help with my dad’s reasonably comprehensive results. His thyroid hormones have been going awry for a couple of years and GP has just been monitoring. He takes no

Recent Iron test values and next steps
Hi all - I added Iron Bisglycinate (aka Ferrous Bis..., aka "Gentle Iron") 25 mg several months ago. I started with daily and soon switched to alternate days. I happily reported my RLS was [u]significantly[/u] improved. Today I received lab results for iron. Here is a comparison of last year vs. today
