Haematologist’s unsupportive B12 response
In a recent pathology test, my gastroenterologist was concerned with my low haemoglobin count and a high reticulocyte count. She mentioned that although I’m low in ferritin (40) I’m not yet needing an iron infusion just yet. My white cell count was seemingly low also and she suggested that I should get

ferritin level and symptom question
I first posted a few months ago and based upon replies there were mixed feelings on whether my symptoms were truly RLS. Main complaints were a current/restless sensation in my legs and some twitching, more at night but also in the daytime if I was sitting for long. The symptom that was not fitting

b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped

RLS: nutrition matters, n = 1
Hi, just want to give an update on an experiment I've alluded to in posts on a few others' threads. I recently was able to wean completely off my pramipexole Rx over the course of about a month. (I had been taking it for 6-7 years, increasing over time b/c of augmentation, from .12 mg nightly to about

Weaning off proprananol
Hello everyone,I have Graves disease and had a thyroidectomy in June 2022.I am having conversion problems ,even with a very over-range T4.I know proprananol can reduce T4 to T3 conversion and am looking to try and wean off it.

Teva shortage?
I love Teva thyroxine, it seems to be the only one I function well on. After having lots of problems getting it from my surgery pharmacy I switched to pharmacy2you and it has arrived within 2 days for the last 6 months. However this month it is 2 weeks late and I will run out soon and in phoning them

New test results after NHS ones
Hi I got some good advice after being dispirited last week by 'normal' results from my GP. I got a set done by Monitor my health, hope you can read them. My question is, should I go back to my GP and ask for an increase in Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg or is that not going to help my T3 - which is presumably

Tight chest T3+ T4 fractures
I have T3 and T4 vertebrae fractures. Sometimes (like this afternoon) I feel tight chested. Could that be because of the fractures (and not a heart warning!)? I am looking for others’ experience, not advice. Thank you.

Really lost - doctor advised me to stop injecting and now B12 keeps going down
Hi everyone, First, I want to say how much this group has been a help and source of comfort and much needed information! Thank you. In Feb 2019 I was diagnosed as having "Vitamin B12 deficiency anemia due to intrinsic factor deficiency." At the time I was 35. My doctor did not say "Pernicious Anemia

My experience of T3 on keto/carnivore so far
I’ve been taking 12.5mcg a day T3 now (raised from 6) for about a month on the keto/carnivore diet. It’s been going well I’ve been exercising and getting back to reading books again which has been nice. Carnivore was quite hard so I transitioned over to keto which seemed to help a bit probably because

T3 side effects
I’ve recently seen a private Endo and been prescribed T3 as she said I wasn’t converting my levothyroxine properly. I’m now taking 150 levothyroxine and she started me on 2.5 mcg of T3 3 times per day. Very quickly after that, I broke out in painful spots, felt jittery, hungry, anxious and exhausted.

FREE T3
I just sent for my full thyroid from medichecks. I went over an old test back in 2015 a FREE T3 only done privately. Never diagnosed with thyroid issues NHS keep saying all is normal. What can FREE T3 be with? Is this auto immune or just T3 hormone issues? My result back then said my result was

How to describe if you have been told you have under active thyroid in layman’s terms
I read the questions/answers with interest, but not being a numpty I want to know what is happening to my body there is talk of t3:t4 etc, what do they all mean? Can anybody advise me in sentences that explain it plainly or is there a recommended book that details what is happening and why. I realise

GPs! Lack of knowledge.
Continuation of RLS with GP. Ferritin levels are 50, normal apparently! I take Ropinirole 4mg and 210mg iron tablets to try and raise Ferritin. The GP keep stating that my levels are normal and there was very little she could do or suggest…her knowledge was very limited. How would you continue this
