Is anyone suffering from a low thyroid and severe low iron and if so I there a link between the two?
I was diagnosed in Jan 2009 with a low thyroid and put on levothyroxine. To date I have felt no better on the medication and for a period stopped taking it as I thought what was the point. I am, and have been severely tired for the last few years, not being able to last the day without a nap and I am

Hi all. I posted last week asking for an opinion on which tests I should ask for. I am on T3 only (no supplements) and have been feeling rotten lately. Have tried adjusting dose up and down and on a good day feel like I'm just keeping my head above the water. I can't cope with stress, have terrible

What are the main signs, symptoms and tests for malnutrition?
I am gluten sensitive, but somehow doubt that I will get a coeliac diagnosis. I'm sero-negative for TTG, but eventually got sent for an endoscopy anyway - the results aren't in yet. The gastroenterologist asked me what my main concern was and I didn't think of it until later on. I'm worried about

Feeling ghastly - Iron?
Hi everyone I have struggled to get my iron/ferritin up over the past year and latest bloods showed iron 9 (6 - 26) which no one seems worried about as it's in range, Ferritin is 45 ( 39 - 150) . However, the trend since last March when I first got bloods was for my Mean Cell Volume and MCH to keep

Newbie - Should I be considering supplements?
Hi. After months of feeling rubbish I finally got a diagnosis of under active thyroid yesterday and have started on 50 mcg of Levothyroxine today. My GP didn't mention any additional blood testing for vitamin deficiencies. Is this something I should be requesting? Should I be considering taking additional

Iron Deficiency
I was just wondering if there is any connection between RA or similar diseases and iron deficiency anaemia. I have my first appointment with my Rheumy on Monday, my GP suspecting I may have RA or something similar. When he did a blood test 2 months ago he said my red blood cell count was slightly

Iron Deficiency Symptoms
These can be common in newbie Coeliacs (2 yrs CD (and women for obvious reasons). Don't just put up with feeling crappy. Often friends and family will get used to you feeling unwell. Write down your energy levels at different times and compare them with other people you know in similar circumstances

Blood tests
Hi I wonder whether anyone can explain to me which blood tests I would need to have that would indicate being low in vitamins etc. I decided to ask the receptionist at our doctors to print out my last full blood count results but at first glance they might as well have been in a foreign language

Does anyone have Iron deficiency anaemia and had to have iron infusions ?
Hi, I have had iron deficiency anaemia for sometime. I have taken iron supplements in the past but, I haven't been able to tolerate them very well. I have been investigated by the gastro team for any bleeding and there is'nt a focus for the anaemia. I have tried to improve my iron intake with my diet

Vitamin D deficiency
There have been several articles in the last few days mentioning the concerns of increasing numbers of people especially children that are feared will present with vitamin D deficiency in the coming months. People get the majority of their vitamin D through sunlight which converts the cholesterol found
