Experiences with

Haemochromatosis

Hello! I posted a couple of weeks back with some questions about low B12 investigations and was about to have a very full and detailed blood panel. I've got some further info from my blood tests.

Hi All I posted these results the other day; SlowDragon kindly offered information and resources. However, I am uncertain whether I need to up my iron supplement. Can anyone help please? I did look on the site that SlowDragon gave but still unsure? Also, since posting last time, I have now added

Hi, guys, I'd like to ask for help interpreting my iron panel results. First of all, let me say that this is the first time ever that I have had these tests done, so I don't have anything to compare with. This is what the results look like: Hemoglobin: 155 g/l (reference range: 120 - 160 g/l) Serum

Hi everyone, I did an iron panel and I’m quite amazed with my ferritin level. I have been lax with my iron supps since going to T3 only and thought I would definitely have ranked my previously low results. To my disbelief, my ferritin is the highest I’ve ever seen it! I was previously taking the 3 arrows

I recently got a bunch of lab tests done by a functional medicine doctor. I thought I had too much iron.

Hey lovely ladies! My question today related to endometritis/chronic uterine inflammation. I have done 4 hysteroscopies so far (two in 2021, one in 2022, one in 2023), each time the inflamed endometrium came out, with a "strawberry" appearance. After the tests, I came out positive for Ureaplasma (at

Can anyone please help me decipher my latest ferritin results? Previous tests have always been around the 30 mark. I'm confused by the comments after. Has my ferritin increased? Or is it to do with the 'change in assay' (no idea what that means). Serum ferritin 111 ug/L (15-300) Please note change

I must admit that even after a few years, while I mostly understand my thyroid test results, my iron tests continue to confuse me - I just can’t seem to get my head around the significance of the different parts. So I wondered if someone who actually understands could please explain in really simple

I suspect few, if any, of us have ever really thought about iron tests varying by time of day. However much we understand with regard to thyroid, somehow I think most of us imagine iron as being more "bucket chemistry". But this paper might force us to re-assess!
