Suspected B12 deficiency and about to start SI
Hi everyone, I’ve had ID anaemia (microcytic hypochromic) for over 20 years and was told by a GP many years ago that this was due to malabsorption. I’ve had hypothyroidism since 2014, long covid for the past 2 years, and a vax injury from March 2021 that is only just being investigated by rheumatology

Trialling Buprenorphine and Dipyramidole - experience
Hello everyone! I’ve been around for a little while but I’ve been waiting for something definite to report. At age 56, the RLS was getting very disruptive so I had to find an alternative to my usual sleep medication. It took me a few years. In the end I returned to my old GP, who listened and thought

Advice after latest test result.
Hello. Looking for some advice from you lovely people regarding the latest TSH result. Yes, TSH only as that's all the doc requested....(head in hands). After a bad reaction to Teva 75mcg, 3 weeks into taking Teva 75mcg one day, and Accord 50mcg the next, the pharmacist recommend I just go up to 75mcg

Medichecks ferritin range 30-650 ug/L
I have been having trouble for years with low ferritin, despite eating black pudding 3 times a week and taking ferrous fumarate. This last week got full thyroid blood tests back and thought ‘oh good , ferritin had gone up a bit to a decent 77’, but no, the range had been changed to a huge 30-650 ug/L

Help with iron panel results please
Hi, I had an iron panel done in July following years of trying to get iron levels up with Ferrous Fumarate, without any luck. Results attached. On consultation with my GP we agreed for me to try a Mirena coil. However leading up to the date for inserting this I freaked about the actual procedure and

Give up iron supplements, including the ferrous fumarate in gluten free bread.
I know exactly how you feel, even if you are eating gluten-free bread. Unfortunately, most if not all gluten free breads (like most other breads) contain ferrous fumarate to boost their iron concentration. But, unfortunately, the ferrous ion can undergo the Fenton reaction in which the hydrogen peroxide

Reducing Pramipexole
I’m hoping this will be of interest to some of you. Any comments really welcome. I am reducing my pramipexole, by half a tablet every 2 to 3 weeks. Currently I’ve cut out 2 x half tablets and about to cut out the third half. I’ve also had a full iron panel blood test. I discussed with the Doctor

Update
Hi Had a phone call on Friday asking me to contract the surgery, following my over range ferritin results. I've now got to have a TIBC, iron and TSAT blood test. I think I need to be honest with the surgery and say I've was supplementing with iron tablets until recently and this is likely to have caused

Reducing levothyroxine and taking HRT
I would appreciate some thoughts on whether I should reduce my Levothyroxine from 125 daily to 125 x Mon-Fri and 100 x Sat/Sun to bring TSH up a little bit. GP has agreed to this and started me on HRT patch (Evorel Conti 50) to see if that helps with the aches and pains as she thinks thyroid is treated

Low iron due to UC
My last lot of blood tests indicated my iron levels were low. Prescribed Ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulphate. When i do manage to go to the toilet, its black and most of the time its a struggle. Also i pass a dark watery fluid with wind. Is this normal?

New bloods - confused about iron study outcomes
Good afternoon Fabulous people – hoping for your wisdom again. I had new bloods on 10th June (8 week check on levo dosage). I knew that the NHS bloods wouldn’t test FT3 and FT4 (even though they were specifically requested on the form by the GP). I ordered a medichecks test to test these privately.
