Low iron and my thyroid
I am on 200mg of levo and after a fight I finally got my iron level tested it came back at 8 against a range of 15 - 300 but he said they treat anything below 40 (bit confused as the range is 15 - 300 so that would say 15 was wiithin range but he definitely said they treat below 40 - I made him write

Should I stop taking my iron before a blood test
Hi I have been taking Iron tablets prescribed by my GP for low iron for a couple of months. She now wants to test again and I have booked a blood test for 7th Feb. Do I carry on taking them or do I need to stop them to get a true result? My folate was also low in range and I have been taking a B

Can anyone help me regarding B12?
I've had a load of blood tests done privately - and I'm even more confused now than I was before. I'll be posting some more questions once I've got my head round it all, but I just wanted to see if anyone can help me with this query about vitamin B12. As background, I was diagnosed with ME/chronic

Ferritin levels and iron tablets
I was diagnosed with Hashimotos a couple of months ago and now on levothyroxine. Whilst the GP is monitoring my levels of thyroid, they haven't bothered with other blood tests. I am extremely tired and very much on waking, i find it almost impossible to wake up! I know it might be adrenal issues and

Does DBS surgery help your balance improve and does it stop your feet from freezing, which in turn would stop me from falling so often?

Section of article that talks about "iron withholding" by our bodies in an effort to kill bacteria. Could this lead to RLS?

Can anyone decipher active B12 results?
Hello all. I have paid privately to have blood tests done as GP and I have differing views. I have seen a private GP for B12 injections, but now manage on sublingual tablets as I don't have a never ending pot of money. Result says Active B12 less than 68, but there are no reference ranges or units

Anaemia and endless tests for the cause
Has anyone else had to undergo five progressively invasive, separate tests for colo-rectal (bowel) cancer just because they have been diagnosed with anaemia? It will have been five months of investigations and worry before I get the final decision (fingers crossed for the all-clear but I can't help getting

I was scheduled to have DBS surgery on the 22nd, but it has been postponed because I have an accelerated heart rate, which I believe is
a side effect of taking Azilect. I started reading more about Azilect and found that many doctors recommend you stop usage for 14 days before any procedure using any anesthetic as the reactions can be deadly and you should never be given Demerol for pain. I am scheduled to see a cardiologist on Monday

Does anyone have experience of any problems with DBS and the use of induction cookers?
I'm due to be assessed for DBS at Frenchay (Bristol UK) hospital next year - having been told I am a suitable case and have just discovered that the pacemaker-type implant may be problematic with the induction cooker we use. Has anyone got any experience with these devices?

Palpitations with low iron?
The last week or two I've been suffering with palpitations. These are not the loud, thumping ones but more of a flutter. The last two days they seem to be happening more often than I've experienced them before. They happen during the day. Two weeks ago I discovered that my ferritin was 33 (range
