success with Threearrows - for anyone struggling with LOW IRON/FERRITIN
After 6 months I am finally seeing some progress with my iron panel! I spent 3 months on 4 ferrous gluconate tablets a day and my ferritin, saturation and iron barely budged. In fact, my serum iron actually decreased. I felt completely miserable with the prospect that I wouldn’t be able to optimise

RF, RA, Rayos & Pain
I had a great first visit with my rheumatologist this week. She was validating and knowledgeable and respectful. She is also pretty confident I have RA (tons of tests ordered and I go back in a couple of weeks). Two things: (1) my original labs that got me referred to a rheumatologist showed a rheumatoid

awful cough since starting suflasalazine alongside methotrexate
my husband was diagnosed with PMR over 3 years ago after a year of tapering steroids and also starting methotrexate he was still getting aches and pains and was given sulfasalazine which he has taken for a year or so and this has helped control his pains and inflammatory markers along side the methotrexate

Getting a diagnosis
Hi I've had symptoms potentially related to a b12 problem just about all my life (I'm 50 now). I became very ill about 3 years ago with a typical list of symptoms along with extreme weight loss and loss of muscle mass. I was anaemic then and also had very low serum ferritin. I saw a neurologist who told

anaemia
I’ve recently finished taking pred after a four year struggle. I am now diagnosed with anaemia ! I’ve had two blood tests so far, a urine check, a bowel kit done and am now waiting for a colonoscopy. This is to eliminate anything like internal bleeding. I do not have Celiac disease either. In the mean

OA in hip and right shoulder
I've tried Voltaren, Duloxetine ( which did not stop the pain) Aleve, Tylenol, shot in the hip. I really don't want surgery, I'm 69. I even tried castor oil poultice.Id like just like to manage pain at night so I can sleep.... During the day when I'm up I can deal but nights are the worst.

Effect of exercise on thyroid blood tests?
Just wondering,what effect have people noticed on their blood tests if exercising the day before/same day/other time? SlowDragon has previously shared that the ideal time for thyroid blood tests is just before 9am, and I'm wondering if exercising should also be taken into account? https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

Glenmark Levothyroxine
Whilst we saw their levothyroxine withdrawn last year, I just saw something that made me wonder if it is coming back. The dm+d is a database of all medicines. Much else in the NHS uses the dm+d data as a starting point. It is a legal requirement for new medicines to be added to dm+d within something
