It's not the adrenals it’s AF!
I kept thinking it was because of my tapering: I was short of breath, felt “chesty” and dizzy. The monitor I wore showed <1% incidence of AF but still at risk for stroke- so Eliquis for me. Scheduled for a visit to the electrophysiology lab for assessment. I believe it’s getting more frequent. Stopped

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

b12 injections done but don’t feel better
hi I’ve recently been diagnosed with b12 deficiency, no idea why my if was fine apparently and no sign of coeliac. Dr doesn’t seem to want to look into it any further which is annoying. But I’m finished with my initial injections almost two weeks ago and I don’t feel any better. Is this normal?

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,

Vitamins
I inject sc roughly every other week but am going to try every week. I’ve read that necessary to take folic acid ( various ideas on this re amounts) but do you take other vitamins especially B vitamins on a regular basis? Also recommendations re potassium intake? Any other nutritional advice welcome.

Iron Deficiency
Are many people diagnosed with PV Iron deficient at the time of diagnosis? I’ve read on the internet that almost everyone with PV is iron deficient at time of diagnosis (hence the low ferritin) and that phlebotomy makes the iron deficiency worse. My heam told me I was iron deficient before even starting

Bit confused and overwhelmed
Hello, Thanks for being there! Recently given advice from GP to start B12 tablets over the counter but told I may need injections in 3 months time after being retested. Beyond exhausted and struggling to go to work, rest of my life on pause for now. After 2 weeks went back and now started on loading

Is it worth having a private iron panel done when the NHS results can be so different?
Whom should I believe? A few months ago (April) I had the results above via Medichecks. Last week these were the NHS results: Serum Iron: 29.5umol/L (14.00 - 30.00umol/L) Serum Ferritin 22 (13.00 - 150.00ug/L) Transferrin Saturation 39 (20.00 - 50.00%) TIBC 76 (50.00 - 72.00) So according to NHS

"Heterogeneous group of anemias"
This appears to be a chapter from a book. It's an organization of "a heterogeneous group of anemias characterized by the presence of large red blood cell precursors called megaloblasts in the bone marrow. This condition is due to impaired DNA synthesis, which inhibits nuclear division...". Therefore
