Tired legs that feel as if made of lead and a sense of collapsing.
Hi, diagnosed as hypothyroid nearly 3 years ago. I'm on 75mg of levothyroxine and taking ferrous sulphate as low on iron in my last blood test. My question is if anyone else has this symptom: legs that feel as if made of lead and a feeling of collapsing. What do people recommend to solve or improve

Can NHS test for the DIO2 gene?
I’ve a telephone consultation tomorrow with my Endo - probably will be my last one as he can no longer look after me if I self medicate. However I thought I’d ask him to test me for the DIO2 gene so if this is abnormal he could then prescribe T3 on the NHS and override the CCG? Is that correct? Surely

Iron supplements?
Recently had some blood taken, and it showed that my ferritin and B12 was 'normal' but it's in the low end of normal. Ferritin 45 ug/L (15-300) Folate is 20. 7 ug/ L (2-20 ug/L) B12 259 ng/l (130- 900) I've been suffering with frequent and heavy periods for years which I think it causing the lower ferritin

Anaemia and iron deficiencies
Hello everyone. Well, after a couple of years of feeling awful and depressed I have been diagnosed with anaemia. The terrible thing about it is just how it has affected everything about my life. I mean everything. I often want to just not wake up in the morning rather than face the whole day. Anyone

Letters to doctor which led to treatment - feel free to copy any parts
Hi all, I said on another post (https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/136700379/stunned-in-a-good-way) that I'd post the contents of the letter I'd sent my GP when someone asked, just in case it was of any use to anyone else to use bits of. Certainly, a few months ago when I was much more ill I wouldn't

Chromium Picolinate with Levothyroxine
I have read that taking Chromium Picolinate is good for lowering Bloody Sugar and to help with sugar cravings. I take levothyroxine of 175mcs at night and have been hypothyroid for over 20 odd years. I was just about to pop my first pill (as such) and someone said that I shouldn't take them with hypothyroidism
