Can I take Iron tablets with a ferritin level of 40 (range 13.0 - 150.0)?
Hello, I feel very tired and breathless, struggle with memory and concentration and need to sleep a lot. I was prescribed Ferrous Sulphate last year when my Ferritin was 25 (range was 10-284), so I doubt the doctor would prescribe again as it looks better also given the different range. I am already

Advice on iron supplements please.
Hi Everyone, I am hoping to get some advice on taking iron supplements please. I am recently diagnosed as having Hashimoto's disease and have just been on Levothyroxine for about 6 weeks. I am a bit worried about my symptoms. In March this year I had severe iron deficiency anaemia and started taking

Iron confusion
Back in June i had 6 iron infusions because i was so anemic. A week after my last infusion...26. June Ferritin 297 (30-400) strange range for female Iron 32 (49-151) Transferritin 2.5 (2-3.6) Trasferritin sat 8.9 (16-45) 13 Sept. (different doc/lab) Ferritin 73 (50-170) no other iron tests I'm baffled

Started levothyroxine
Started 50mcg levothyroxine by GP today and getting retested 6 - 8 weeks later is this right? Also gotten tested for intrinsic factor antibodies, given loading dose of B12 and vit D and told not to start folic acid until intrinsic factor. Also complete blood count shows below range MCV and above range

GP prescribed vitamin b compound tablets for b12 deficiency
Absolutely flabbergasted! As I mentioned in my initial post my GP wanted to try and treat my b12 def by oral supplement. I managed to persuade him to instead give me loading shots. I have just been to the chemist to collect some other meds and the prescription was there that I hadn't collected. I thought

Low iron?
I've been feeling pretty cack for last couple of weeks. I had bloods done last Friday . I checked them on line and my iron levels are 8. Isn't that rather low? Do I need to check about iron supplements? I do already take spa tone with fresh OJ. I also eat loads of leafy veg etc.

Ferritin Level
For anyone on iron tablets to raise the ferritin level, you need to take your iron tablets last thing at night on an empty stomach but also don't drink tea or coffee for at least one hour before. I only found out from my GP when my ferritin level fell even after increasing the iron tablets. My GP recommends

Anyone have experience with supplementing iron?
So in conjunction with my thyroid I also had low ferritin. Before I started taking thyroid hormone my ferritin was bottomed out 17 (30-300) and I’m a male by the way. so this is not normal (not bleeding from anywhere). For a while I supplemented iron but it actually brought my ferritin down. The only

Iron Deficiency (Infusions)
Okay, so this isn't entirely related to thyroid I know. But I have low iron as well as Hashimotos. Is it okay for a 16yo to have an iron infusion? My mum had one about a month ago and said it was really good but am I too young? I heard something about getting reliant on infusions but it would just

Does anyone NOT have a conversion issue, but still have low FT3??
Hi All: Has anyone experienced "in range" FT4 and low FT3, without a high rT3, aka conversion issue? I'm trying to develop my argument to ask my doc to try me on t3 only. I'm having conversion issues, most likely related to the low iron and or adrenals. He won't give me IV iron, though I seriously need
