IBS
I'm 20 years old and I got really sick in June of this year, it turns out my appendix was being blocked by feces. I wasn't recovering from the appendectomy, so I went back to the doctor who then diagnosed me with IBS. I'm on Mebeverine 135mg three times a day. Nothing seems to be changing, I get abdominal

Ferritin etc
Hi here are results for ferritin etc. I saw my GP tonight and he has said yes I have Hashimotos hypothyroidism. He has agreed to start me on a low dose of Levothyroxine of 25mcg because of possible Addison's disease symptoms - sweating, weight loss, dizziness, salt cravings, insomnia and dark patches

HELP! - I'm about to be diagnosed with Fibromyalgia
I finally got my recent blood results (including T3) and got to see my GP. He said all my results are normal, including my thyroid results and B12. The only problem he can see is high serum osmolality and he will refer me to endocrinologist to check for diabetes insipidus – very rare disease affecting

Iron supplement recommendations? Reacting to the ones I currently take.
I've been noticing lately that I'm getting itchy areas on my body - no rash or anything. Have been checking all my supplements/medicines for exactly what fillers they contain and have just discovered my ferrous fumarate tablets (210 mg manufactured by Aver Healthcare) contain sodium lauryl sulphate.
