What helped my ferritin - hopefully helps someone :)
Hey there, I've decided to share some good news! I have tried everything to increase my ferritin, it was always a bit low in range. I have tested in September 2019 and it was 52 (13-150) which is about 28% of range. I was already happy with it because previously it had been even lower. I went for tests

When to take supplements
I take so many supplements now I'm confused if I'm taking them that at the right time or if they would work better along-side another. My most recent blood tests are as below: I've got a feeling my dr is going to try and reduce my levo due to the TSH. TSH 0.15 miu/L (0.27 - 4.5) T4 20.9 pmol/L (11 -

Best Iron Supplement to up Iron & Ferritin levels
Hi My Iron and Ferritin are always on the low side. Recently my iron was 13, 3 months before it was 8 and ferritin never seems to go above 30. I am currently on 1 ferrous fumarate daily 210mg, but this never seems to increase levels higher. I can't tolerate two a day as I get a very bad stomach. I have

Dear all, since my last post I have felt extremely unwell. Granted my Ferritin is low again at 15 (increased ferrous fumarate to x 3 per day). I asked doctor last week to test T4 and T3 and explained situation re thyroid meds! So the lab tested them, as follows: FT3 3.3 range 3.1 - 6.8 FT4 11.6 range

In what conditions (other than Hasimotos) are TG Antibodies raised (but TPO AB's are not)? Also results interpretation please.
In what conditions (other than Hasimoto's) are TG Antibodies raised please? I'm struggling to obtain a clear answer on this. Below are my MediChecks full thyroid panel results; the MediChecks GP stated that my results indicate Hasimoto's, although my TSH indicates my thyroid function is "fine" currently

Withdrawal from ropinarole
I have been on ropinarole for 10 years starting at 1mg then moving on to 3mg daily. I think I started argumenting because I couldn't sleep any more. I started to wean myself of the ropinarole and got down to 1mg but couldn't go any less because the restless leg was driving me crazy. My doctor put me

MTHFR/LAB WORK
Hello, I have recently got my blood & saliva test back. I cannot see my NEW Dr until Nov 14th. She did email me on blood work and said everything looked good except iron and wanted me to take an iron supplement. Before I went to her the first time in August 2019, I was dealing with severe fatigue, exercise

Iron Tablets vs Liquid
Last ten months, I’ve been taking 2 x 65mg Ferrous Fumarate tablets daily for iron deficiency. There is improvement in results albeit it’s been gradual. Currently travelling and come across a liquid preparation, called FPur by Althea, elementary iron, 0.1ml = 2mg. Can anybody advise whether then,

Do we need to stop all supplements before a blood test?
Hi everyone, I know that we should stop taking biotin-containing supplements for a week before a blood test, but what about other supplements? Apart from B complex and a multivitamin containing biotin, I take the following: Turmeric Selenium Zinc Vitamin C Ferrous fumarate (210 mg twice a week) The tests

Hi all, The good folks on Thyroid UK pages suggested I post here. Please click on the image to show all the results. I’m being treated already for Hypothyroid with 75mcg Levo (which I know should probably be increased and am working on it). I have hashimotos. I take BP meds and Gavisvon Advance for

Blood test
Got an app at the Dr's this aft due to a TSH test of 4.1, hopefully he will listen to me even though I was told that no further action was needed, I was advised by people on here to go and have a chat about it, so I guess it's watch this space, also while I'm writing, what is Ferrous fumarate I've seen

Ferrous fumarate 210mg
Can this be bought over the counter in a chemist or does it need to be prescribed?

Iron Tests - Feedback Request
Have been taking 2 x 65mg Ferrous Fumarate with Vitamin C daily since November 2018, say 7 months. Unfortunately the tests are carried out from different labs in different countries that use different ref ranges. The iron doesn’t appear to be substantially improved ? Please let me have your feedback
