Am I going mad?
Hi! I've had so much helpful information from this forum and made copious notes over the last few weeks, I was determined I could get by without asking for help, but no. I'm so upset, after what I've decided is my last visit to the GP as I'm fed up of being fobbed off and coming out like a gibbering

Iron blood test - definitive list
I got my recent blood test back, haven’t yet posted all results to my profile, but my ferritin was rock bottom (7 out of 7-271 range) so I’m going to get a full iron test before I share all the numbers here and decide my next med change. What should I ask for: Iron Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC

Would taking a daily vitamin with 8 MG of Iron be harmful?
Hello, I have moderate fatty liver disease and I have been told that I also have low iron. I was already questioning whether I should take a multivitamin or not. Now I don't know if I should take one with a little iron in it. Thoughts?

Adrenal problems
I'd like someone to advise on some results I received last week. I have just had an adrenal "crash" so to speak and my previous post was about my thyroid meds. I'd like to know where in range ferritin and iron should be.Ferritin 113ug/L (11-307) Haemoglobin estimation 128g/L (115-165) Hematocrit 38.8%

Test interpretation please
Hi everyone, can I have some feedback on my Blue Horizons results please? (Off biotin for the recommended amount of time). The bloods were taken at 8:15am, my iron was ruined in the sampling, but I luckily have a couple of other NHS tests from the SAME day: Serum Folate 10.8 ug/L [3.0 - 14.4] Serum

Reducing Besremi dosing
Hi Community, I shared prior that I upped my Besremi dose from 150 to 180 the past two months. All was going well with several benefits which hadn't happened the past 18 months on Besremi: My JAK2 Allele dropped more than 20%, I have not needed a PB for months which means I now have normal iron

Total confusion about Ferritin (Medichecks) results!
I recently had a lightbulb moment on realising that the Medichecks Ferritin range has changed! I had an NHS test a couple of weeks ago and my ferritin was 56 ug/l (15 - 200 ug/l) and realised this was rather low for Hashimotos. I decided to do a Medichecks iron panel test and have, much to my humiliation

Infusion at Sheffield
Hi all, I seem to recall someone here saying they managed to get an iron infusion at Sheffield and if that's you I'd really appreciate it if you could clarify which Hospital and department. My GP is trying to arrange an infusion and as Sheffield isn't too far for me to travel it might help him if there

having massive panic attack after iron infusion
Is it normal to have increased anxiety after infusion? I am freaking out, I haven't had this amount of anxiety in a long time.

B12 loading doses and stomach pain; also 10mg melatonin OK to take on loading doses?
Hello, My daughter's had her first of 6 EOD loading doses, next one tomorrow. First was last Friday. My current line of thinking is that she has inherited a degree of autism from her dad, but also has b12 d, possibly PA (neg IFAB). She's complained since the first dose of stomach pain (gluten free

iron infusions - how often and how many?
Hello dear fellow RLS sufferers, would like to find out about your experience with iron infusions. My mom just had one couple days ago. Her ferritin is 96, and saturation is 19.6. Today she was able to nap during the day, and she wasn't able to do that for a while because of RLS. She is also on Pramipexole

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

Is this a "normal" reaction to NDT?
Hi All, I'm trying to take NDT instead of levo, on which I was for around 20 years before, mostly on 75 mcg. My TSH went out of balance back in October 2022 and between then and now it's been a massive struggle. I increase my T4 slightly (even by 12,5 mcg) and get heart palpitations (heart was checked
