Just a quick comment on iron
Hello All A few years ago when I was trying to get my body sorted out and having regular blood tests it seemed my iron levels were through the roof for no apparent reason. The Doc asked me if I was taking iron supplements, which I was not. In conversation with a friend, she asked me if I was drinking

Blood Test Results
My doctor phoned me yesterday to give me an overview of my test results. I'm still B12 deficient even though levels improved slightly. B6 levels dropped, I guess because it wasn't treated when I had my initial B12 shots months back. Something even nastier popped up as well. My iron levels dropped by

High Ferritin 284 with Range max 300 BUT Low Haemoglobin - 97 with low range 115 - Will Blood Transfusion Help?
My wife just had Blood Test result with High Ferritin at 284 Range 50- 300 Low Haemoglobin 87 - Range 115+ Doctor prescribed Iron tablets - worried about high iron and Side effects. Can she get a Private Blood Transfusion as Doc says she does not need it ? Has had some before as she is Anaemic -

Hypothyroidism and complications?
I'm a new member. I've just had my thyroxine increased after scans showed my pituitary gland is very enlarged and pressing on my brain and my TSH levels are totally out of control. I also have a growth in the centre of my brain which could be a pineal cyst or something worse also creating pressure on

Any reason not to start supplements?
Hello. I already take levothyroxine but went to the gp feeling generally unwell. I got a call to say b12 157 (range 197-771) ferritin 10 (range 13-150) folate 2.7 (range 3.9-26.8) hb 118(range 115-160) and that I’d have to start supplements. But none were prescribed but mentioned doing coeliac bloods

Hemoglobin dropped and iron tablets not working
Hi all! It's truly all a balancing act isn't it? Within 6 weeks time my hemoglobin dropped from 14 down to 10. My iron was very low so the iron tablets aren't getting absorbed so I'm back to iron infusions. My folate and b12 levels both very good. Guess it truly is a balancing act. My horrid cold is

Coeliac Blood tests
I am a vegetarian and eat only a small amount of fish but a huge variety of veggies and fruit etc. I have just had this years tests and all were fine except my iron which had dropped to 11. Since diagnosis I have had an issue with iron levels - originally on daily tablets but they made me very sick

Help with low ferritin please
Hi, has anyone had any experience of successfully raising ferritin levels? I was recommended liquid iron supplementation, but even with extensive research and finding the purest and most gentle ones I could, my digestive system just didn't tolerate it at all and my acne-prone skin flared up significantly

GP appointment
Hi I had my GP appointment on Friday which went well (I think) I am now taking 150mcg levothyroxine from 125mcg levothyroxine with a repeat test in 6-8 weeks. I have also had it confirmed I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and I need to avoid gluten and possibly dairy since I am lactose intolerant. TSH

Ferritin
Hi I wanted to keep this one separate since there is a long history behind this - I would like to know if I am still iron deficient and that my doctor is treating me incorrectly? I had an iron infusion in May 2016 ordered by haematologist as a one off and this helped my ferritin but not my iron or complete

New private blood results contradict the ones from gps. Shall I tell doctor?
Hello, I just got the results from the blood tests I did in Italy while visiting my family, 10 days after the ones I posted about recently were done. I did these tests because I like to know what my T3 is, but also I have an appointment booked in December with a private endo also in Italy who is trained
