Anemia?
Has any one else been told they are iron deficiency and B12 deficient? I've been told that yesterday by the hospital after recent tests. So I said what happens now. He said see you own Gp. I so confused by this. Is any one else defient in both?

Iron infusion question
Hi everyone, I wanted to explain the situation with my ferritin/iron supplementation in a different post to the first one I have put up about my thyroid results and symptoms. Because of my concerns I wanted to dedicate this post to anything ferritin/iron related and leave everything thyroid/hypo/Hashimoto's

Severe Anemia, Now got aching legs and short of breath?
Just wondering if anyone can help? I visited my GP last year as I was feeling tired, no energy,pains in stomach, coughing, and being sick. I was told that I needed to have a blood transfusion as my Haemoglobin was 67 and Serum Ferritin was 1. I walked into A&E no problem and received 2 units of blood

Ferrous fumarate.
I was recommended to take ferrous fumarate to up my iron. But it says this in the info leaflet. Is it ok with levothyroxine?

I believe asthma can have close correlation to iron deficiency (anemia).
I'm a woman in my 50's, have had pet and house dust allergies all my life, take inhalers daily. Around two years ago I stumbled upon a product called SpaTone in Boots, which professes to be a natural iron-rich water which unlike most supplements is very gentle on the stomach. I started taking SpaTone

Which iron supplement?
I have been told I am iron deficient but doctor and endo have differing views on it. Ferritin is low - 23 (15-150) but complete blood count is normal except for MCV which was below range. It was 76f/L (80-100). My doctor told me at an appointment weeks ago it was slightly under range and in the past

My daughter has been told by her GP that she is borderline hypothyroid and that she will test her again in three months to see if any treatment is needed. She is also anaemic so is taking some iron tablets. She is going on a big holiday after Christmas and would like some help before she goes as she
