Supplements for 2nd trimester
Hello all, I’m 16 weeks pregnant now and as it’s my first pregnancy I’m not sure whether I should just go for Iron, Protein, Calcium supplements or wait for my midwife to suggest. My midwife hasn’t really advised me to start any supplements as she says all reports are okay but conscious that as the

Blood results
Hi all, Following on from the very useful help and advice I received on my previous posts, I have some blood results back and am hoping for some advice this time. My B12 came back in the normal range but low and my ferritin came back only just scraping into the normal range (results attached).

Bloods advice pls -starting T3 combo
Morning everyone, hope you're good. 😁I'm getting ready to start t3 combo. There have been a few hiccups with thyroxine dosage/supply. So currently, my prescription of thyroxine has gone up to 87.5mcg, (was put down to 75 as they didn't stock 85) & 5mcg of T3. I just wanted to check in with you to

bioavailable broad spectrum multi vit?
Multivits - I know, I know, I don’t use them myself, but my partner likes them and his cheap supply from H&B has run out. If he’s going to take them it would be better if he found a decent one . He’s 60 and his health hasn’t been so good this year. He’s not diagnosed hypothyroid but his TSH has been

Another iron IV/hydro post - been in hospital last night
Hey all,I had iron infusion on Monday. During it, I had anaphylactic shock (tight chest, couldn't breathe) and was injected with 100 mg hydrocortisone (thanks to this, they were able to finish the IV). I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling incredibly warm and with a lot of energy. My vision got sharper

Iron infusion
I had an iron infusion 10 days ago .I'm taking 1800mg gabapentin over 3 doses and taking fumarate oral iron x 2 x 325 mg . My symptoms have reduced and my energy and mood is improving significantly over the week. My body was not absorbing the oral iron at all so the infusion was advised by neurology.

Iron infusion & over symptoms
Hey all,I was wondering if anyone experienced thyroid overmedication symptoms after iron IV? It's day 3 today, I have much better energy, but also feel jittery and hot at times. I assume iron is making the cellular absorption better and increases conversion. I'll probably do another ft4 ft3 test soon

Consultation with Prof Walker
So I had a private consultation with Prof Walker last month. I used to take 0.25g ropinorol some time back and went up to 0.5g and felt that I was augmenting so came off it. Managed for some time without medication but over lockdown/menopause the RLS became much worse so I went onto Gapapentin. Although

Low iron
I have an iron count of between 29 and 33 from 2021 to now on a range of 11-360. For the last six months I've been taking a supplement to boost the serum iron level and the level has dropped from 33 to 31. I think I'm anaemic for symptomatic reasons. I SI EOD and have done for a year. My health is beginning
