Help with iron panel results please?
I have had a test at the surgery which has come back normal but thought I’d check here? As I don’t understand it and I understand that ferritin is important but that you shouldn’t just take iron if your iron count is good but how do you increase only the ferritin ? Thanks 😊 Ferritin 79. Range 11

Could I still have low iron?
I haven’t yet returned to normal since my low iron diagnosis and iron infusion treatment in October. All my tests are coming back good or normal. My mean cell value is 86.7 [80-100] Ferritin 276 [10-300] As my MCV is low in the range, could this indicate that my red blood cells are still small? I’m still

Supplement Folate or Vitamin B12 First
Hi I stopped supplementing B complex with Folate and Vitamin B12 a few months ago as I was feeling quite anxious and read sometimes the wrong type of B Vits can sometimes cause this. My thyroid levels are TSH 0.5 range 0.49 - 4.67 FT4 21.1 range 12 - 22 FT3 5.2 range 3.1 - 6.8 I take 125mcg. levo

Vit B12 and diarrhoea
How well is the link between Vit B12 and diarrhoea understood? Does it just amount to observation that people with Vit B12 deficiency can have diarrhoea. This link: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health-topics/pernicious-anemia. "Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency involve the digestive tract. These

Signs of B12 deficiency in the mouth
Hi All, I posted most of this on another thread but thought I'd start my own thread in case someone found it useful. Sometimes the route to diagnosis of B12 deficiency can involve other health professionals besides GPs. If you have a GP who won't listen to your concerns about B12 deficiency maybe other

Bloods Show Lots of Deficiencies
Hey, I’m new to the site and as some of you seem to have some really good knowledge I’m hoping you might be able to help me. I had a little girl 3 years ago and since then, my health has been really poor- always having infections or needing medication for something. I found out I had underactive thyroid

DBS for Parkinsons
Need a little info on the DBS surgery for Parkinson’s. Doc says our daughter has reached the limit for the Sinemet dosage and is beginning g to show signs of needing more help. The only thing left is DBS. She’s not worried about the actual surgery but the cost since her insurance won’t cover very much

Links to some articles comparing FUS to DBS for Essential Tremors
For the time being, there's more research and development in the ET field than the PD field as it relates to tremor dominant Parkinson's. Here's a few links that compares the two. https://www.neurologyreviews-digital.com/neurologyreviews/nr_march_2019_/MobilePagedArticle.action?articleId=1470923

DBS - yes or no?
How to decide on a DBS placement I'm gonna take the plunge. I just cant do the meds anymore, they don't work like they used to and I'm beyond miserable. Any thoughts or suggestions?
