Getting there, but slowly
More blood tests back now but still don't have all the figures. Serum immunoglobulins all normal Coeliac screen - negative Ferritin 197 (range 13-150) Transferrin saturation 38% (15-45) He's not happy about this even though it's "normal" Homocysteine - normal IFA - still negative Gastric parietal antibodies

Endometriosis?
Hi everyone My journey is quite a lengthy one so I’ll attempt to shorten it by containing the most important info… when I was a teenager I had awfully painful, extremely heavy periods at times they would bring me to tears, this improved after having children but was still far from “normal” whatever

Vitamins
Hi allI posted here last week my vitamin test results from medichecks. My active B12 and folate were low so as per advice on the forum I have held off supplementing until my GP tests for pernicious anaemia. My mother had PA and I certainly do have some symptoms of B12 deficiency. I'm due to get my bloods

Low iron levels in blood test
Just had a call from A&E who gave me a blood test last night to say my iron levels were low and I should make an appt with my GP as soon as possible. Very perplexing because I take a daily B12 supplement and eat a varied diet which is cooked from scratch. Could this be related to my under active

my story
I live in the US and have had RLS and peripheral neuropathy for a number of years and controlled it using tramadol. My doctor took me off of it because of opiate regulations. After trying and failing at buprenorphine, that doctor decided that since I was 80 years old, had been taking a low dose of Tramadol

Time and again I see recommendations that one should speak to an MPN specialist or someone else on one's care team - and I have a quiet chuckle and just carry on with my life. I am Coeliac around 2010 I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and Essential Thrombocythemia; since then I have progressed

Iron levels normal
If my iron levels are within range is there any chance taking an iron supplement would be beneficial? I know too much is dangerous. Sorry if answer is obvious, but I'm desperate.

I have just come home after 3 weeks in hospital which was very hot and uncomfortable. I fell on the 30th May and fractured my femur between my much revised long stem hip replacement and knee replacement as well as my elbow on the opposite side. After 3 manipulations, one with gas and air and 2 with

Iron Blood Test Results
Hi i’m wondering if anyone could advise on my iron blood test. I had a recent thyroid test which showed Ferritin at 69.1 ug/L (range 30-150). This was through Thriva. I have since tested with Medicheck and my ferritin seems to have reduced. Am just wondering if there was a way I could increase ferritin

Test result low TSH high T4
Good morning, Can anyone please help with the results of my blood test? I have both Hashimoto and Grave and have been on Lexo for the past few years, currently 125mg. TSH came back very low at 0.07 (was 1.3 a year ago) and T4 high at 25 (15 a year ago). Unfortunately no T3 despite our request. Folate

Gabapentin and Oral Iron
When taking iron supplements on alternate days (iron bisglycinate 25mg) and using gabapentin nightly, how far apart should the iron and gabapentin doses be on the days that I take the iron?

New test results
Hi, Here are the Blue Horizon test results for my friend where I think she's showing hypothyroid because of the low T4. Do you agree? Is Total T4 also a bit low in range, do you think?Next step will probably be to get the gp to test again and check the low T4 wasn't a one off as there's no thyroid panel

High Folate, Low Normal B12
Regarding folate masking a B12 defciency…my folate was 24 ng/mL and my B12 was 252 pg/mL when I asked to be tested for deficiency in January. I was having neurological symptoms such as anxiety, pulsatile tinnitus, tingling in legs and feet. Other symptoms include digestive issues (I believe I have low

Vitamin recommendations?
Hello all. Just doing some research as alongside an underactive thyroid, my vitamin levels are very low. Does anyone have any tips of particularly good vitamins to take, as I’m sure I will need stronger than a standard multivitamin! Have added my levels for reference. TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2)

Is this hypothyroidism?
Hello, a friend just had some thyroid blood tests back from Blue Horizon and I wanted to check with you if you think they're hypothyroid. I'll ask permission from her to post the results in detail but for now I can give a basic overview. Background info, she's often tired and cold, and has mental health

Boron, an interesting article about supplement for T3 increase
Found this article which I found interesting as a possible supplement to assist with T3 may consider after next blood test if no improvement. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4712861/?fbclid=IwAR3dMJ-9rLLZ47g1qBU4LbMViJROk8gIbRNhijGMMW3giwHjVbsY06Huppk

visual problems since ohs
hi everyone I had ohs on 5 th June to repair my mitral valve. Whilst in hospital, and since I’ve come home I have had “ wavy lines” and “ shooting lights” intermittently in my vision. I have also had a couple of times a sort of weakness in my left arm, that lasted about 5 mins. Last night my vision
