Tsh 7.09
Hello My mum is 86 & on 75mg level. She has recently had an iron infusion privately as had a ferritin of just 6. Those levels now normal I asked for a full thyroid but they don't do T3 & will have to do a fingerprick test on her. (If she agrees!) Tsh 7.09 (0.35 - 5.5) T4 16.6 (10.5 - 21)

Levothyroxine
I would discuss your results with your GP and also let them know what oral iron vitamins etc you are taking and make a decision from there. You should be able to book a telephone consultation. Goid luck

Newbie needs advice
Hey all 💖 So, I've classically been misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia after 7 years shuttling back and forth to gp. Been served anemic for two years just palmed off with iron tablets. Have so many symptoms of lupus, but only realised when I logged onto gp records online to see that my latest bloods show

Should I be asking for an increase in Levo?
I have an appt with my endo on Thursday to discuss my latest results and those from last August and April when I was taking different amounts of levo. I always follow the suggested procedure of stopping Vit B complex a week before, early blood test and not taking levo for 24 hours. My most recent

Latest on Ared supplements
just wondering about latest reviews on Areds as there were cautions on using these re the iron in them. Was taking two a day as recommended but decided to only take one.

carbimazole and iron supplements
hi all, I have very low ferritin and need to supplement iron. Do I need to take my carbimazole away from iron or it doesn’t matter?

Restless Legs - changing treatment.
Can anyone advise me? I have had RLS for more than 30 years, familial predisposition. Been on Pramipexole for about 10 years - started with 0.088 mg. Over the years with the need to increase the dose - now 0.7 mg. Sleeps only about 2 + 2 hours a night. Has severe restlessness in the legs, like a wasps

hello everyone! I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on since seeing Dr. Nichols. First he is a fantastic doctor! He listens and I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area that has RLS to seek him out. Together we have laid out a plan to get me off Ropinirole slowly. I am going to

Iron Infusion
Sue perhaps you can help me, I have been successfully relying on diet for years but RLS seems to be catching up. I am in Australia. Perhaps its simply a matter of getting older (currently 79) but a couple of other things might be a problem. I tore a hamstring muscle or tendon that apparently caused

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Baby aspirin and iron tablets in IVF pregnancy.
I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant via IVF. My midwife prescribed 2 x 75mg aspirin and iron tablets at 12 weeks. I went to my 36 week appointment and had a completely different midwife and she has told me to stop taking both medications. Has anyone else taken these doses for an IVF pregnancy and

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

Cortisol tests
Hi, I just had my cortisol retested to see if there had been any improvement from February 2023. Since August 2023, I have been slowly titrating NDT Armour and taking vitamins, minerals and amino acids prescribed by a private thyroid Dr. My iron & B12 are good, working on increasing vit D. I'm still
