High dose Turmeric and links to low ferritin
My ferritin has dropped from 82ug/L (30-150) 4 months ago to 64ug/L (30-264) this week (both Medichecks- Inuvi lab). I’ve been scratching my head to find out why this could be, as my diet hasn’t changed. https://amzn.eu/d/bTWoF2o The only change I’ve made is to increase my usual turmeric dose (which

Leukocytes, protein and blood.
Hi all, my urine samples have started showing leukocytes protein and blood. I have GPA which mainly affects my lungs and now sinuses. I guess I just want to know if having these in my urine with no actual urine infection could mean that there's possibly now kidney involvement too?. Hope you're all keeping

The Differential Diagnosis of Discrepant Thyroid Function Tests: Insistent Pitfalls & Updated Flow-Chart Based on a Long-Standing Experience
We often see members posting results which, at least initially, are odd and maybe make little sense. This paper recognises and discusses such test results. Quite long and takes some effort to read - but worth it if you are interested. [i]

Liver Beef Glandular pills for iron?
Hi. Has anyone tried Liver Beef Glandular pills to increase iron rather than iron pills directly? My naturopathic doctor prefers this for RLS, because he says that iron pills are oxidizing. My Ferritin is ~80. And, I'm new here -- super helpful community. Now that I understand RLS, as I look back,

T3 Heart Attack?
Hi, I was wondering if anyone can give me any insight on T3 causing a heart attack? I’m reading really conflicting information as to whether it’s even possible. I had a heart attack at the end of January (I’m only 38) and was told it was a type 2 MI secondary to thyrotoxicosis. I wasn’t given the

Has anyone tried Neovos for an MMA urine test please?
Hi...wondering if anyone has tried these for tests please? I've used St Thomas hosp in past but they stopped over covid and am awaiting to hear back from them about current testing. Meanwhile these came up as offering a b12 urine test for £63,which is for MMA considerably cheaper than others available

Medicheck results – help please
Today I received my results from Medichecks in preparation for my consultation with Roseway Labs next week. I wondered if you kind people could shed some light on the results, I’m a bit confused, especially with my ferritin which is now 429 (30-332) which was 43 (10 – 291) less than a year ago. I’ve

increasing T3 advice
Hello, My endo has told me this week to increase from 5mcg T3 to 7.5mcg and if that feels ok / no palpitations after a week to go up to 10mcg. I’m also on levo 150 and have been told to go up to 175 at weekends. I posted my recent blood results on Monday. All vits tested December and optimal. Iron

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

why does T3 make me feel worse?
This is what I just googled in desperation after trialing 2.5mcg of T3 again after many months of T4 only due to T3 failed attempts. It’s not in my head, it’s a very specific feeling a few hours after taking it and that feeling is severely hypothyroid. I can hardly think or operate my brain. Google

Medication query
Hi everyone I have had hypothyroidism for a number of years and have been on 150mg of thyroxine. In the last month I have lost over a stone and my recent blood test showed my TSH was 0.07 and Free T3 & T4 normal. The doctor has told me to take 150mg 6 days a week and 100mg on one day a week. This doesn

High free T4
Been on Thyroxine for 17 years. Recent bloods show TSH at 0.58 ( I feel better in this range ) but Free T4 has been flagged at 25.6. GP said results must be wrong and is retesting next week. I took my meds 6 hours before bloods, is this why the reading is high? or any other suggestions why free T4

Fluctuating T4?
Hi all, Would really appreciate some advice on fluctuating free T4 levels - having had a dose increase from 50 to 75mg end of September 23, T4 finally went up to 16.7 (range 11.50 -22.7) in December - I know this still needs improvement and I still have the full range of symptoms but doctors wouldn't

seeing neurologist, advice on b12 injections welcomed…
hi all? have been prescribed with PA. My ferritin levels are normal - 177 Vitamin D- 70. I have finished loading does for b12 last week. My last reading was 188 2 weeks ago but imagine it’s greater than 2000 now. My folate was low - 3.5. My Gp has helpfully given me folic acid 5 mg a day

Any endos in London who will prescribe T3/T4 Combo?
Ideally I need an endo who will take insurance for tests and who will prescribe t3 if needed. My functional thyroid doctor has become too expensive for me. Please DM if you can suggest anyone in London. Thank you!
