Iron Bisglycinate versus Liquid Ferrous Sulfate
Hello oh wise ones. I’m constantly here lurking in the back and rereading posts to take info back to my doc. My doc has very little knowledge of RLS but she is very open to all your information so I’m eternally grateful. Been trying to up my ferritin for the last year. Started at 8 and now a year later

Is anyone able to help with my mum’s labs please
Hello all, She has Hashimoto’s which is well managed on glandulars and she feels well. Her thyroid labs are a little on the low side this time because she reduced her dose significantly having felt over-medicated previously but has since increased it slightly and hopes her next labs are better. Am I

What's the relevance of low mean cell haemoglobin, but normal haemoglobin concentrate levels?
I'm confused about these results! Please can anyone help? What does mean cell haemoglobin mean? I I thought it meant I was anaemic, but my haemoglobin concentrate is normal. My ferritin is too low again I know. I understand my thyroid levels. I'd reduced T3 from 30 to 25mcg for 6 weeks hoping my TSH

Low white blood count
Hi I just had a blood test and it shows that my white blood count is low first time that I can remember this happening. I feel fine in myself, I was a bit exhausted for a bit that is one of the things I do suffer with. It was slightly worse than normal but I do push myself to hard sometimes. What are

RLS and Iron
After reading posts here, I wonder if a different iron supplement would help my RLS, and if so what type and what dosage? I’ve been taking 50 mg daily for a couple of months (the bottle is just labeled as iron) but it’s not helping alleviate RLS. Recent blood test results were Iron, 83 ug/dL; total iron

Belly deformity after RARP and Screening for Lymphoceles after surgery
Hi all - had RARP 7/21 which went well but was complicated at 3 months by an infected lymphocele.

Tips for Americans with PA
I was diagnosed this month with pernicious anemia, with major neurological symptoms. Like many folks, I had difficulty finding someone to provide daily or every other day injections. In addition, I discovered that Medicare does NOT cover B12 injections, and the cost at my local pharmacy for each cyanocobalamin

Blood results back. Ferritin low but haemoglobin normal. TSH slightly raised.
Hi, thank you for all your previous help when I first posted about how tired I was constantly. I was advised to repost when I got my blood results back from the doc. They didn’t test all my vitamins but these are, I think, the most relevant ones from my results. TSH 2.43 (0.3-4.50) I have an endo
