Experiment to switch from Metavive to levothyroxine
On 23rd September 2022 I started to gradually introduce levothyroxine and reduce Metavive until I was on only levo to see if I could manage on this alone. [see post Raising TSH from 11 months ago]. I had hoped to see if I converted T4 to T3 adequately but had to do it myself as my GP wouldn't help with

I wasn't going to post today but...
...I saw these gorgeous ponies on my run today. Hubby's been dead proud of my 60 minutes running last week, that he's been broadcasting my achievements more than me! He even scoped out a new 7k route for me too and this was the reward. Still finding it hard after giving blood a week ago, I just need

understanding. She has given me the form to get my iron tested but did say it would be difficult to get anybody to agree to an iv iron transfusion but letās wait and see what my bloods come back as first. She has prescribed me gabapentin, at my request, but think I may try to manage it a bit again first

Just got my updated blood results
Hi all, I have had a partial thyroidectomy, this is my results. My ferretin is severely low and I wanted to ask does low iron <15 cause severe fatigue and tiredness and joint pain as that's what I've been feeling. Not sure if I should take thyroid medication as my iron dropped after the surgery. Please

What to do ā¦.
Warning - long post! Iām not sure what Iām really asking here, or if Iām just looking for a sounding board. At my appointment last month my haematologist told me my ET had now changed to MF, after a bmb and NSG testing. He also said I had markers for high risk for leukaemia. I didnāt ask what the markers

Finally somebody that listens AND understands !!!
like so many other people I have been banging my head up against a brick wall and having to battle to get b12 injections, having to explain to numerous GPS and nurses that I donāt need a B12 test, and maybe they should not only consider the B12 symptoms, also the hypothyroidism and the iron deficiency

Gabapentin not working - next steps?
Ongoing RLS symptoms mostly during the day. Had a few months of respite this year where it just seemed to go away mysteriously, but is now back with a vengeance. Gabapentin 400mg three times per day doesn't seem to touch it. I take it throughout the day instead of in the evening because the RLS mostly

Off B12 a week before B12 blood test or not?
Hello, my mum is due a repeat B12 blood test (and hoping for a full iron panel too which I have just requested) - does she need to stop the B12 supplements a week before the blood test? Or is stopping B vitamins only necessary before the thyroid blood tests? Many thanks.

ADT and Headaches
To all, I may have mentioned it before, but I've had low-level but disruptive headaches since I started ADT along with low RBC/Hemoglobin/Hematocrit. Also as a diabetic, I've been on metformin for many years, thus depleting my B12 levels. I've talked to my doctors about this, and the only solution
