Dissecated liver for iron
Hello, I’ve had issues with my ferritin being low, even though I’ve been supplementing with iron for a while. Has anyone tried dissecated liver to get their iron levels up? If so, do you have one that you would recommend?

More gaslighting with obtaining T3 🙄
As some will know my T3 was stopped on Nov 9th by my gp due to the fact I'm waiting for an urgent referral to endo.. , I urged my gp to just supply me with a month's cover of T3 to be sure I have enough to tide me over, she told me that wouldn't be necessary as my appointment would come before I run

Ferritin Levels
Hello, Recent blood test shows Ferritin at 118 (30 - 650 ug/L). I'm struggling to understand if that's ok as the range appears to have changed. When it was tested in September 2023 it was 112 but the range was 15-200ug/L. Is the range change significant? My brain says it makes my level lower as

7dp5dt (TW - PG test - sensitive)
I’ve just seen two lines (albeit faint) for the first time in my life on a pregnancy test. I say “A” pregnancy test but it’s actually been 3 pregnancy tests 😂 None are with first morning pee - basically my hubby is at the office today for the first time since the transfer & I lost my mind just after

ADT for a year?
Had intermediate grade PC no spread, had SBRT. Three months out my Psa is .03. Am on Lupron for the fourth month out of a projected 12 month stint. Do docs ever say, six or nine months is enough? Testosterone at 6 right now.

Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

First time poster overwhelmed with symptoms and considering self-medicating with bovine adrenals & NDT. Asking for advice & recommendations

Low Adrenal Index Test results so considering self-medicating with Bovine Adrenals. High TSH and anti thyroid antibodies, but low-end-of-normal
