So my sister has just found that she has haemochromatosis...
I've nagged her to follow up on her high ferritin results for the last year or so, though GP seemed disinterested with it above 700 so I sent her to give blood which bought it down to 400. Since then we have successfully got her GP to acknowledge her Hypothyroidism and prescribe T4 and I got her to

Why would my Alk Phos go up after just starting urso?
Hi All, I have a question and wondered if anyone had an answer to if they had a similar experience. I just started taking Urso and have been on it now close to a month my recent blood work shows that my Alk Phos has increased rather than decreased.

Help with blood test results, please.
I was diagnosed with B12 Deficiency with Pernicious Anemia in 2018. I was given the six loading doses and injections every 12 weeks. After about two years I was able to get them changed to every 8 weeks. Although that did seem to help I am still not feeling myself. I keep track of all of my blood

Time if day for taking medicine
I want to try taking medicine at night. Is natural thyroid or thyroxin likely to interfere with sleep?I'm completely shattered all the time apart from waking due to work stress so I doubt I would notice a small effect.

Next Endo Meeting, T3...
I am going to ask my Endocrinologist for a trial of T3 at my next meeting, as it was suggested by them at my last meeting that if my last dose change didn't help, they would recommend a trial on the basis of significant persistent symptoms. What should I know about this, and what questions are wise

Tweaking T3
Hello, Sorry to post yet again. I've gotten so much advice already and I will most probably have a go at the single dosing of T3 in the fall, but for now I have to make due with my split doses. I was feeling a bit off lately: increasing pain (back, leg, muscle, knee) in my right leg. Something that

Help with T4 and T3
Hi everyone, I have been taken 75mcg T4 at bedtime. I swapped to bedtime years ago as I felt better. Taking the T4 in the mornings was dire. I could not even start moving until about 2/3 hours later. I have since been given T3. Now on 20mcg. I take this about 10am in the morning. It is not really

Good source of t3
Has anyone sourced their own T3 or is the best option a prescription from a Dr? I'm 10 years from having total thyroidectomy. T4 only suppression treatment for Papillary Cancer. I've established, through another post and my blood results, that my T4 percentage isnt good and my coversion to T3 is poor
