Jump in Haematocritt
My Haemoglobin from back end last year to a month ago was between 116 and 121. Hematocrit was 41%. Haematologist wouldn't give me iron tablets as last time hematocrit jumped uo so fast apparently put me at risk of a stroke. Last blood test a month ago Haemoglobin 132 and Hematocrit 47%. Why it jumped

recent results any help?
hi there I finally have new results and full iron panel. Would appreciate any input as I am feeling terrible at the moment. I am supplementing with three arrows currently. I normally use medichecks so trying to work out these ranges. I am guessing my t4 is too low? Thank you

doctor who treats with i/v iron first?
Dear all, I remember one of the members mentioning here a doctor who uses i/v iron as first-line treatment, can you please remind me their name? Would be interesting to try to arrange a consultation with them or maybe read their papers if any are available online. Thank you to everyone who provides information

Tirosint
I am unable to take tablet form levothyroxine, I have a gene issue with metabolising some medications. I have started liquid thyroxine but I think the ingredients are affecting my stomach and I have been told to stop taking this to see if it is the cause. I see that Tirosint is quite pure but not sure

Comprehensive supplements list (when to take and with what)? Not just for PD.
Note that I'm NOT not looking for a PD-specific list. I want something I can use as a general guide for my husband and kids as well. Has anyone found a really comprehensive list showing when/how to take supplements (just vitamins and minerals, not herbals, etc.)? I've looked and looked, but everything

Meds Review.
Had a meds review yesterday with the very helpful Pharmacist attached to our GP surgery. I have spoken to him before when he switched me from lansaprozole to famotidine. He even asked me how I was getting on with that yesterday.Went through all my issues which may be linked to my meds: tiredness, fatigue

On Thyroxine - 8 weeks bloods shows TSH has dropped but still feel dreadful.
Hi all I’m on daily 50mg Levothyroxine for 8 weeks after private bloods showed the following; TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2) T3 4.1 (R 3.1-6.8) T4 14.6 (R 12-22) High antibodies so likely Hashimotos. GP was reluctant to prescribe me, but did at the advice of an Endocrinologist. For reference I am 5ft
