3 arrows iron: everyone experienced an increase in ferritin?
For those of you who have tried it, what has your experience been. Overwhelmingly positive reports on here so far but my husband, whose ferritin is dire, on 4 months of 3 arrows it’s got worryingly worse June 23 Thorne bis 25mg 36.9 (30-400) Dec 23 Thorne bis 50mg for 5 months 52.3 (30-400)

Back to life thanks to this forum! GP Next steps though - further levo increase?
You've been so helpful. Your collective knowledge has led to a diagnosis of (ords) hashimotos, my levo being upped to 75mg and I'm pain free for the first time in 5 YEARS! Thank you. I feel alive again. I armed myself with printed NICE guidelines and facts/ research and GP didn't resist this time and

lapararoscopy
I have a complex cyst probably 7.2-7.4cm and have been told that I will need eventual laparascopy. I am back 23rd of July again for another tvultrasound to check how it is. The gynae/surgeon has done watchful waiting with me since my diagnosis as he knows I am a carer for my mum and I have no one else

Happy moms day
To the moms (and all the people acting as mom)I hope you day and the year finds you as well as possible. I’m now using both needles in my graft and they didn’t hurt Sat with no numbing cream. Given all the issues I’ve had I hope anyone scared or not liking needles takes my experience and does well also

Hope this is a blip...
Hi all, I'm noticing a return of the nerve pings and tingles that first took me to the gp 5 months ago, especially the weird quivering lips... all this disappeared pretty soon after 6 loading doses, and I SI every 3 days since then. Taking iron, folic acid, VitD as recommended and eating a daily banana

Fine tuning dose.
Hi all, I've been feeling a bit 'meh' recently and after a recent blood test I'm wondering if I'm [i]slightly [/i]overmedicated[i]. [/i] Could also be HRT needs to settle. I can't decide so thought I'd ask the hive mind. :) 4th Nov - started HRT; 200mcg progesterone & 50mcg oestrogen. 26th Feb: 200

Hypothyroidism and weightloss
Good morning everyone,I am hoping for some good news stories to keep me going. I have gained 2 1/2 stone since I developed hypothyroidism, and I am finding it so so difficult to shift it again even though my current dose of t4/t3 seems to work really well in other aspects (hypo tiredness gone, depression

Hello 💐 I m new here. My platelet count 1080 down from 1140 (3 month ago).
I am trying to find out as much as I can. Had to have a blood test in January due to 3 months of very heavy peri/post menopausal bleeding. My iron was low and platelets at 1140, everything else normal. I was given a prescription for iron tablets and my blood test last week showed iron now normal but

Any Help to break free of this rut I'm in??
I have battled mental illness most of my life(I'm 52). In 2015 in the span of a couple of months I found out my eldest daughter had been in a mentally abusive relationship, that eventually caused her a liver infection from being unable to eat a normal meal. She too has battled anxiety all her life. They
