What is relationship between serum Iron and Ferritin levels
I've just started to take Spatone Iron [lowest dose] to assist in T4 conversion, hopefully- as I've been feeling rather underwhelmed by taking T4 [25ug] so far. None of my tests for a few years show Iron level & only one the Ferritin level [74 = 25% of range 30-300]. Is there an easy rationale/connection

Bit better but not much
Since thyroxine put up to 150 I can support my own weight and walk a little. Hands, feet and mouth still tingling, dizziness and wobbly feeling no better, nor is disorientation and short term memory. MCV and calcium in normal range. Seeing doc on tues for b12, folate etc. She wanted to wait to see if

WOULD LIKE TO HAVE INFORMATION FROM THOSE WHO HAVE HAD DBS
I am considering DBS and would like to hear from those who have experienced it themselves or with a spouse. I have a great fear of it for myself and my husband. I was dx 17 years ago, slow moving until recently. No tremors mostly bradykinisia. When I'm on dyskinisia. Is DBS hype? Does it improve

Blue lips and face?
My 2 year old daughter keeps going blue in the face around her lips and her lips, as well as her hands and feet. Is this normal? We have no official diagnosis yet but are on a waiting list.

Is weight gain a Side effect of Madopar?
I was diagnosed with PD 8 years ago and was taking most recently Stalevo & Sifrol to control it thinking at the time Sifrol was doing me more harm than good. Last August I had DBS but still wound up on Sifrol And Sinemet. After a few months it was finally decided that I should wean myself off sifrol

DBS plans on hold due to possible nocebo effects... I'm too crazy for brain surgery.
I have recently been processed with off-on testing and neuro-psychologist eval for DBS. My neurologist stated that I need to see a psychiatrist before they will schedule the procedure due to my anxiety depression issues fearing that I may be disappointed by the outcome. She further related that my

Now off all meds in preparation for TRH Test.
Last time I tried this, I felt better for a couple of weeks, then went down hill pretty quick. This time I have to stay off all meds for about 4 weeks - just hoping I don't end up virtually housebound again :( I am actually interested to see the test results though as far as how my thyroid is working
