Low TSH
Hi - I've got my 3rd lot of results from Medichecks since March which I will take to appointment with private Endo. Test taken fasting with no meds beforehand and at 8:55am I'm pleased with levels of folate, B12 and Vit D which I've worked on. Ferritin has gone down though. The T3 is low of course

Starting B12 injections, how often?
My
blood
test
results were as follows folate 3.4ug/L,
ferritin
19.9ug/L and B12 218ug/L before any medication. I started on iron and folate tablets a week ago. What I'm wondering is how often should I be getting the B12 injection after the first one? (I am in Ireland). Thank you

Hi all, I got some private tests done (attached) and I have to say I’m surprised as they seem to point to me being hyperthyroid but have all the symptoms of hypo. Can someone explain to me please? Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious anaemia and am getting B12 injections off

Is this classed as low folate?
I'm a little confused about my blood test results. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right group! MCH and MCHC were slightly high which can indicate macrolytic anaemia. GP said I don't have that because my B12 and folate levels are fine (which are the usual causes). However, I posted the results

Iron and ferritin advice requested
I have recently had a full set of iron and ferritin blood tests completed and would like some advice on the numbers, please (prior to these tests, only my ferritin levels have been tested). They result from early morning fasting with no iron supplements for one week. My serum ferritin was 160 µg/L.

At What Level Is Low B12 Treated?
Hi! I recently had some blood tests and my B12 came back low at 180, normal range 197-771. My folate was 4.7, normal range 3.9-26.8. Full blood count and ferritin fine, I had iron deficiency anaemia and have been successful treated for that and all those levels looking good. My question is, at what

Blood results
Hi all, Following on from the very useful help and advice I received on my previous posts, I have some blood results back and am hoping for some advice this time. My B12 came back in the normal range but low and my ferritin came back only just scraping into the normal range (results attached).

Consultation with Prof Walker
So I had a private consultation with Prof Walker last month. I used to take 0.25g ropinorol some time back and went up to 0.5g and felt that I was augmenting so came off it. Managed for some time without medication but over lockdown/menopause the RLS became much worse so I went onto Gapapentin. Although

High inflammation
I’ve been caring for my husband for months with things becoming progressively difficult. Fortunately he now has personal medical care. Since Christmas my stress levels have gone into overdrive. Since new year I have been totally exhausted and sick most days, though I’m not eating a lot. Any day to day

Update re: Total Confusion about Ferritin (Medichecks) Results!
As promised to Seaside Susie, and 6 months later, please see below response I've had from Medichecks. I'm just sad it didn't come in time for Seaside Susie to see that they had eventually listened to us! It is an improvement on the previous reference range for over 60yrs females but it raises more questions

Gabapentin and liver resection
The help I have been given from this forum has been invaluable, I don't know where I would be without it. I have weaned myself off of Pramipexole and am now using Gabapentin, I don't think I have suffered anything like some of the other members. My question is, I need to up the dose, I am taking 1 x

Iron Bisglycinate
I am in the US and looked at a number of 25 mg of iron bisglycinate products (gentle iron) on Amazon. All listed there percent of daily value (US) at 139%. Most did not list their elemental iron but two did and they listed it as 25 mg. So my apologies! My previous post which I deleted was wrong.

racing pulse
hi thyroid community. Quick question…I’ve noticed since I’ve been taking Erfa that my pulse races quite often sometimes over 100. Especially when I’m climbing up hill or going up stairs for example. I’ve realised I’ve had this for quite a while (years) and had put it down to being breathless due to
