Thyroid, Cortisol And Sodium Question
Hi All, Got my latest results and it's a bit messy. I got off NDT 1,5 grains and switched to 88 mcg of levo, my old levo I was on before. Prior to that, I was on 75/88 mcg, alternating. So I increased and now re-checked my bloods after 8 weeks. Btw, I'm well versed in everything recommended here

blood count results?
Hi everyone! 😊 I was just wondering whether any of you wonderful intellectual people can read these blood results and maybe give me an insight to what they actually mean and if they are ok!? Iron is what I am most interested in… I am currently awaiting my yearly full vitamin panel blood test -

Update 7.7
It has been a while since my last update. Overall, things are going well. I feel better than ever, other than my knees. Time for another hyaluronic acid injection to lubricate the knees. I am going to try Durolane this time. It is a single injection instead of a series of three. In other news

Switching to NDT or adding T3?
Hi everyone, Related to my earlier post about sources of T3 and NDT I'd like some advice on whether and how to take these. I had an appointment with an NHS endocrinologist this week who dismissed my symptoms and refused any dose or medication changes. He insisted that the following results were '

Cortisol saliva vs blood serum
Hey all, Did anyone find out anywhere why some of us have high cortisol or normal in blood serum, but suboptimal in saliva? Potentially something to do with transporters, but for the life of me, I cannot find anything anywhere and I can't test CBG where I am (binding globulin for cortisol). I have done

SlowDragon please comment on my situation if you're around.
Hi, I'm not able to get labs until Jan. 13, hopefully. This clinic is going under and everyone is struggling to be seen in this tiny community in the middle of nowhere. I am tired most of the time. However, I did walk the furthest today than I have in a month so maybe things are getting better

High transferritin saturation?
Hello, is there anyone with this issue even though their actual iron levels aren't high? Im vegetarian, mostly dairy free and gluten free so unlikely to be getting lots of iron. I haven't been taking iron supplements either.

Bioinorganic Chemistry of Micronutrients Related to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases
Recent interesting article (July 2023). I was researching a bit more on B6 because there is still negative research about supplementing with B6, and came across this on Pub Med. This article also discusses metals in PD. I guess a hair test might be of benefit. It would be difficult for me to try

Iron infusion progress- labs
Hey all, Two weeks ago I had iron infusion of 500 Monover. It was a bumpy ride (more in my previous posts). I had tests done today if it worked and here they are: Iron = 71 (50-170) up from 39 Ferritin = 260 (range up to 200), went up from 37 Does anyone know if it's normal to have still lowish iron

My 3 Arrows Heme Iron has finally arrived! How do I dose it?
It seemed to take a long time to arrive. But it's finally here. At my last blood test my iron was low, not deficient and not low enough for a doctor to comment. But lower than I want and I struggle to keep Ferritin half decent. I've never had good Ferritin. So how do you take your 3 Arrows Heme

Late as usual: Aberfforest -- the easy way to the other side
I feel I should apologise for being out of touch for a while. Well, actually, I am not sorry, but you know how we Brits apologise for everything, even things we haven't done. I spent the last four days in hospital, returning home yesterday afternoon. I had developed severe leg pain and swelling, and

recently told I have possible heart failure
I have multiple issues: asthma, atrial fibrillation (permanent), underactive thyroid. I am on apixaban blood thinners. This last year I have had a rather bloody uti followed in May by bleeding from my colon when I lost a considerable amount of blood, so I am now deficient in iron. And am taking iron

Bubbling sensations in the rectum area and very low gurgling sounds, has anyone had the same?
I have had blood tests and a colonoscopy. Everything is fine apart from high iron levels. But I was just wondering if anyone has had the same sensations/symptoms in the subject line? Any advice or reply from someone that has had the same symptoms would be appreciated. I have also just had a FIT test

hair loss
I am low on ferritin and zinc and I am now getting vitaminB injections. I cannot absorb ferritin or zinc through my stomach (I am well medicated with thyroxine and levels remains stable). I keep asking for an iron infusion but keep getting refused because my 'numbers' are within normal range -ferritin
