Optimal level of iron?
Hi I'm new and trying to find out why I have heavy periods. Back in 2004 I had one so bad I had to take the day off work due to disabling cramps and clotty cycle. I have underactive thyroid but my results are not deemed severe enough to be causing this problem. Diagnosed 2008 with hypothyroidism, 2011

Tirosint
Hi Can someone tell me if Tirosint is T3 or just T4 in a gel form, and is it absorbed by the body more easily and therefore better than tablets? Will doctors prescribe it or is it too expensive? Thank you.

Switching Back to T4 Only - Did I Do It Right?
I recently went hyper from adding T3 to my regimen. My endo advised me to stop all thyroid meds for 3 days, then drop the T3, and take only T4. So I went FROM: 5 mcgs of T3 twice a day *50 mcgs of Tirosint once a day (*this was up to 88 mcgs of Tirosint when I went hyper, we went down to 50 a couple

Post DBS Surgery
This post marks is to mark 12 weeks from surgery date of December 15, 2017. It seems like a long time ago that they wheeled me into the operating room to begin what was to be the best day of my life. I mark time as before surgery and now. Before surgery was spent in my beloved blue chair looking out

Iron deficiency causes
[i]Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency in the developed world, affecting around one in three women of reproductive age. It can develop when iron intakes or iron absorption rates are unable to meet the iron demands of the body, causing weakness, fatigue, poor concentration, headaches

Low Iron Levels
Hello. I have a treated case of Pernicious Anaemia. (Having injections for c. 2 years. I am 38). I have just been tested for iron which was found to be very low (8?) Along with a range of other things (haemoglobin, liver function, red/white blood cells and more...) which were all fine. Wish I'd asked

Post DBS Surgery
I am now just over two months out from my DBS surgery. At my last neuro appointment, the doc changed my meds from taking one 25/100 Sinemet every two hours to taking one 25/100 Sinemet and one extended release 25/100 Sinemet every three to four hours. He also wants me to increase my regulator each

Radio 4 Inside Science - about iron supplementation
Just heard inside science talking about iron supplementation which was very interesting. Thought I would post the transcript as so many of us Hypo people also have iron problems. It seems that lower doses on alternate days may actually cause the body to absorb iron better due to evolutionary reasons

Iron deficiency & iron supplementing
Some research coming out of Zurich seems to suggest that iron deficiency anaemia may be corrected quicker with lower dosing and less frequent dosing ie alternate days instead of daily and it may also make adverse effects to iron supplementation more tolerable. Forward to last 10 minutes of programme

Iron pills

I switched the radio on last night and there was a discussion on Inside Health (I think). They said there is no scientific basis to

Help!! 😣
Hey guys Follow up to my previous post regarding T3/stopping Levo rtf I have FINALLY received results from my blood tests. The results were alot scarier than I thought they would be. I thought I'd just have low T3, buy some somewhere and all would be good. However, it seems this is not the case. Any
