Help for my sister please
I have been suggested to come here by the helpful people on the Thyroid UK forum. My sister has Hashimotos and stopped taking her supplements due to her feeling like giving up with continuing to feel unwell. She has symptoms of B12 deficiency. Any advice appreciated. Thanks Ferritin 27 (15 - 150)

Another doctor’s appointment- advice please
I’ve got a doctor’s appointment tomorrow to discuss my latest test results and would appreciate some advice on them so I know the best thing to say. I was diagnosed hypothyroid last year and started to feel better in the summer after a dose increase to 75mg of Levo, however my TSH dropped to 0.16 (0.2

Advice please with supplements
Diagnosed iron deficient in 2013, initially took 210mg ferrous fumarate 3 times a day but couldn't tolerate taking more than one. Went to the GP more than once about this problem and he told me to stop being noncompliant and making things up. Eventually ferritin got so low I needed an iron infusion in

GP appointment
Hi so my appointment yesterday went well. The doctor increased my levothyroxine to 75mcg from 50mcg then a retest in 6-8 weeks and apologised for my results being so bad and said “they must have slipped through the net”. I said that wasn’t good enough and I have insisted my thyroid results are checked

GP appointment
Hi I had my GP appointment on Friday which went well (I think) I am now taking 150mcg levothyroxine from 125mcg levothyroxine with a repeat test in 6-8 weeks. I have also had it confirmed I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and I need to avoid gluten and possibly dairy since I am lactose intolerant. TSH

Hi I wanted to keep this one separate since there is a long history behind this - I would like to know if I am still iron deficient and that my doctor is treating me incorrectly?

Antibodies, vitamins and minerals
Hi. Here are all antibodies and vitamins and minerals results when on T3 and when off it. T3 was withdrawn because the endo said improvement of symptoms wasn't clinical evidence and levothyroxine was kept the same at 150mcg. I have symptoms of tiredness, pins and needles, puffy eyes, throats feeling
