Decrease in levothyroxine again!!
Any ideas why for 8 weeks I’ll be on 100mg and then I’ll have blood test and I’ll have to be decreased to 75mg then 8 weeks later I’ll have a blood test and it will be put back to 100mg and now again it’s being decreased it’s so frustrating. I feel awful when on 75mg but they don’t listen to how I feel

I was diagnosed with RA approx 4 wks ago & started taking Methotrexate 15mg for past 2 wks followed by a blood test 4 days ago, my question is, am I supposed to receive the results of my blood test the same day as I have increased my dose (now on wk 3) without knowing whether my bloods are abnormal.

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus
