stop wasting TIME , MONEY and SUFFERING Use iron infusions first line for those whose ferritin is suitable
Doctors please top wasting time , money and suffering… Use iron infusions first line for those whose ferritin is = or >75ug/L (plus other parameters are ok TSATs etc TIME because they relatively quickly find out who are the 60% ‘iron responders’. If you are one, then great, get on with iron plus any

New blood test results, low vitamins, advice please
i test every 6 months. I started taking Armour 1/4 grain in May because my consultant (listed in Thyroid UK directory) thought my FT3 was low in range. I had to change to Thyreogland (from a pharmacy in Munich) because i can’t get Armour delivered to France post-Brexit. I take Thyreogland twice a day

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

How do I do this?? The issue now is that my GP has no idea what this means and how to get to correct levels. Any

Rheumatologist appointment at last!
My last rheumatologist appointment after ultra sounds on shoulders, and chest xray was postponed due to him being sick. He was most apologetic, but no one can help being sick. So I have tears in Noth left and right shoulder muscles, and I have a slightly enlarged heart. 2 years since I had a heart

Possible dangers of too much iron.
Iron supplementation is often advised on this forum. This article points up new research on the effect of iron on Alzheimer's. I would appreciate anyone with medical knowledge running their eye over this in case of any relevance to RLS. They do mention MS, which can be associated with RLS. Lhlklttps

Hi lovely people. Just a question. In the past, I have had v low iron, folate rock bottom and prob other vitamins low that I never had checked. I have worked a lot on my micro biome/gut this past year plus supplementing continuously. I cut out gluten as leaky gut was diagnosed through a test.
