A Genetic Cause for Iron Deficiency

Hi All I am hypo, on NDT and my main symptom is muscle aches, which I've had since Dec 16 and are progressing. And I'd love to find an answer for them.

OK to take B12 supplement when serum levels are high?
Hi everyone! I am currently trying to work on my low ferritin 23 (15-250) and I have previously ALWAYS had low b12 alongside my ferritin and whenever one goes up/down the other always follows. I had a non moving b12 of 198-215 for years and I was previously on b12 injections last year but they were stopped

Help with supplements please!
Hello all, I was hoping for some advice about supplements. Last week I had some great advice from SlowDragon , SeasideSusie and humanbean after my last blood tests. In summary: Low Ferritin at 24 (range 10-291), but blood iron and rest of FBC fine (apart from high % hypochromic cells), B12 good at 874 (

Could I ask for some advice on vitamins please?
Hello again, My GP recently started me on 25mg of Levothyroxine. She also asked me to start taking an iron supplement which I haven't done as yet. I need to improve my levels of a handful of vitamins and I'm not sure of the best way to do it. I'm due for another blood test in about 5/6 weeks to test

Latest blood results
Hi all Since my last post my ENT specialist has started me on Levothyroxine 50mcg. My GP has done further bloods as my Medichecks result showed low ferritin and folate. But typically, GP rang me this morning saying ferritin and folate are within normal range so just take a multivitamin. She said she
